The pull-request fetch queries GitHub for the tracking branches'
upstreams against the configured remotes. It therefore depends on the
branches and remotes being up to date; a refresh that asks for pull
requests but not for those (e.g. checking out a branch) would fetch
against a stale branch/remote list — for instance missing the PR of the
branch just checked out.
Expand the scope so pull requests always co-refresh branches and
remotes. This also sets up the next commit to hand the freshly-loaded
branches and remotes straight to the fetch, instead of reading them
back from the model (which, now that those writes are bounced onto the
UI thread, would be stale on the worker).

Operations that check something out (checkout, create branch, move
commits to a new branch, fetch-and-checkout) selected the newly
checked-out branch by calling SelectFirstBranchAndFirstCommit() before
the refresh and passing KeepBranchSelectionIndex so the refresh wouldn't
override it. That set the selection directly, usually from a worker
goroutine (WithWaitingStatus/WithInlineStatus). Now that the refresh's
own selection write is bounced onto the UI thread, the two writes could
land in either order, and under load the refresh's "restore the
previously-selected branch" write would win — leaving the old branch
selected instead of the new one (flaky
move_commits_to_new_branch_from_base_branch).
Replace it with declarative selection intents applied inside the
refresh's own bounce, so the selection is set on the UI thread and
atomically with the list write (no off-thread write, and no BLOCK_UI
needed to avoid a flicker):
- BranchSelection: SelectCheckedOutBranch selects the checked-out branch
(top of the list). The default, KeepBranchSelectionByName, restores
the previously-selected branch by name as before. This replaces the
KeepBranchSelectionIndex bool.
- CommitSelection: SelectHeadCommit (already existed) for the commit.
- SelectTopReflogCommit selects the top reflog entry, since a checkout
adds a new entry there (reflog/checkout relies on this).
SelectFirstBranchAndFirstCommit is gone. The previously-selected branch
is now read at the top of the branches bounce, before the list is
overwritten, so that read moves onto the UI thread too.
fetchAndCheckout's refresh changes from ASYNC to SYNC so its
post-refresh focus switch can run in Then on the UI thread; SYNC keeps
the inline fetch spinner spinning (only BLOCK_UI would freeze it).

For the busy query to be usable as a repo-switch guard it has to be
false while the ongoing background routines run, or a switch would be
refused every time a background fetch or files refresh happened to be in
flight. Mark that work as background so it's excluded from the query.
The background routine dispatch in goEvery becomes OnWorkerBackground,
and the auto-fetch waiting status renders its spinner through the
background variants. Within a refresh, the background flag (which
Refresh already carries as options.Background, and which the files path
already threaded) is now threaded through every place that enqueues a
task: the async scope workers, the model-write bounces
(onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged), refreshView, the staging bounce, the
Then dispatch, and the branch-loader's behind-count worker. Two
single-caller chains reached by a background files refresh get the flag
too: MergeConflictsHelper.EscapeMerge and BranchesHelper.
AutoForwardBranches (whose follow-up refresh must stay background when
triggered by the background fetch).
Nothing gates on the busy query yet, so this is behavior-preserving;
background tasks still count as busy for the test idle-listener, which
looks at every task regardless of the background flag.

This removes the last refresh mutex. RefreshingBranchesMutex wasn't
guarding a data race (Branch.BehindBaseBranch is atomic, and every model
write is now bounced onto the UI thread); it was serializing the two
branch loads that race at the INITIAL startup stage — an immediate one
sorted without the reflog, and an async one that loads the reflog and
sorts by recency — so that the recency-sorted write landed last and won.
That serialization was never a real guarantee, only "very likely": it
relied on the immediate load acquiring the lock before the async load,
which had to load the reflog first.
Instead, each branch load takes a monotonically increasing sequence
number, and its bounce drops the write if a later-started load has
already applied. Combined with the preceding commit (immediate load runs
before the async one is spawned), this is an actual guarantee: the
immediate non-recency load always has a lower sequence than its recency
async partner, so the highest sequence number is always held by a
recency-sorted load, and highest-wins converges on recency ordering —
even if more refreshes fire during the INITIAL window, since each
refresh's async out-sequences its own immediate.
The guard also subsumes what the mutex gave post-startup: a slow, stale
refresh's bounce can no longer clobber a newer refresh's branches.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
At the INITIAL startup stage two branch refreshes happen: an immediate
one sorted by whatever reflog we have (empty, so not by recency), and an
async one that loads the reflog first and re-sorts by recency. Until now
the async one was spawned first and the immediate one ran afterwards;
this inverts that so the immediate refresh runs before the async one is
spawned.
With RefreshingBranchesMutex still in place this is behavior-preserving
(the mutex serializes the two either way). It's a preparatory step for
replacing that mutex with a branch-load sequence guard: running the
immediate refresh first establishes a happens-before relation between
the two loads' sequence numbers, so the recency-sorted one is guaranteed
the higher sequence.
This also lets refreshReflogCommitsConsideringStartup fold into
refreshReflogAndBranches, whose two-phase logic is now all in one place.

Now that every refresh scope writes its model updates on the UI thread
via onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged, the per-scope mutexes that used to
serialize concurrent worker-goroutine access are redundant:
Model().Commits, .SubCommits, .Authors, the status view content, and
.PullRequests/.PullRequestsMap are all now written only on the UI
thread, and their readers already ran there. setSubCommits only existed
to take the lock, so it's inlined to match refreshSubCommitsWithLimit,
which writes Model().SubCommits directly.
The worker phases still *read* some of these fields (the commit
selection range, MergeRebasingCommits), but those reads race a
concurrent refresh's bounced write regardless of the mutex — the write
happens in the bounce, outside the locked region — so the mutex never
protected them. That residual read race belongs to the broader -race
effort, not to these locks.
RefreshingBranchesMutex is deliberately kept. It is load-bearing for a
reason unrelated to data races: at the INITIAL startup stage two
refreshBranches run concurrently — an immediate one with an empty
reflog (non-recency order) and an async one with the freshly-loaded
reflog (recency order). The mutex serializes them so the recency write's
bounce is enqueued last and wins. Without it the stale non-recency write
can land last, reordering the branches list (caught by the recency-sort
e2e tests: cherry_pick/*, branch/rebase_*).

refreshBranches now loads the branches (and worktrees) on the worker and
writes Model.Branches, the pull-requests map, Model.Worktrees, and the
restored branch selection in an onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged bounce. The
selection restore and rebuildPullRequestsMap run in the bounce so they
see the branches we just wrote; the LocalCommits re-render (for branch
head visualization) moves into the same bounce.
refreshStatus is adjusted to read the checked-out branch and the linked
worktree name inside its bounce rather than on the worker: both derive
from models (Branches, Worktrees) that are now written via bounces, so
reading them on the worker would format the status from stale values —
which showed up as the status line dropping the "(worktree)" suffix right
after entering a submodule or switching worktrees. The git work
(WorkingTreeState) stays on the worker.
Two callers that read the branches model right after a SYNC branches
refresh move their reads into Then:
- BranchesHelper.PostFetchRefresh: AutoForwardBranches reads Model.Branches,
so it runs in Then (preserving that a fetch error is still returned to
the caller and that background auto-forward errors aren't surfaced as a
popup).
- BranchesController rename: the re-select-by-name loop runs in Then.
RefreshingBranchesMutex is left in place for the mutex cleanup.

refreshCommitsWithLimit now loads the commits, working-tree state and
bisect info on the worker and writes them all — Model.Commits,
Model.BisectInfo, Model.WorkingTreeStateAtLastCommitRefresh,
Model.CheckedOutBranch, the authors, and the restored commit selection —
in a single onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged bounce. The selection restore
(SelectHeadCommit / KeepCommitSelectionByHash) has to run in the bounce
because it reads the freshly-loaded commits; the FocusLine scroll is
enqueued from within the bounce so it still runs after refreshView's
re-render, as before.
refForLog no longer writes Model.BisectInfo as a side effect; it returns
the bisect info it read, and the bounce writes it, keeping that model
write on the UI thread. No caller reads Model.BisectInfo synchronously
after a refresh (the bisect controller reads Git().Bisect.GetInfo()
directly), so this is safe.
refreshCommitsAndCommitFiles's post-refresh re-init of the commit files
context depends on that restored selection, so it reads the selection in
a bounce and dispatches the commit-files git work back to a worker.
LocalCommitsMutex / AuthorsMutex are left in place for the mutex cleanup.

refreshGithubPullRequests and setGithubPullRequests now do their network
work on the worker and write Model.PullRequests / PullRequestsMap in an
onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged bounce (the "no github remotes" and "no base
remote" early-returns clear them the same way). rebuildPullRequestsMap
moves into the bounce so the map is built from Model.Branches and
Model.Remotes as they stand on the UI thread — after those scopes'
refreshes have applied their own bounces — rather than from whatever the
worker happened to see.
The remaining worker-side reads of Model.Branches (to pick which upstream
branches to query) are the same not-yet-addressed worker-read race that
applies to the other bounced scopes.
RefreshingPullRequestsMutex is left in place for the mutex cleanup.

refreshStatus computes the status line on the calling goroutine (as
before) but now writes it to the status view in an
onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged bounce rather than calling SetViewContent
directly from the worker. RefreshingStatusMutex is left in place for now;
it only guards the compute phase between concurrent callers and comes out
in the mutex cleanup.

refreshReflogCommits now does the git fetch on the worker and computes
the new ReflogCommits / FilteredReflogCommits values (still reading the
existing slices for the incremental prepend), then writes them in an
onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged bounce. The freshly-computed reflog is still
returned for the branches load, so recency sorting is unaffected by the
write now landing on the UI thread (see the previous commit).

BranchLoader.Load reads the reflog commits to sort branches by recency.
Today it reads them straight from Model.ReflogCommits, which works
because in the recency path the reflog refresh writes that field
synchronously just before the branches refresh reads it (same goroutine,
sequential).
An upcoming commit bounces the reflog model write onto the UI thread, at
which point Model.ReflogCommits wouldn't be updated yet when branches
runs — branches would sort by the previous refresh's reflog. To decouple
the branches load from *when* that write lands, pass the reflog commits
to refreshBranches explicitly: refreshReflogCommits now returns the
commits it loaded, and the recency path hands them straight to
refreshBranches. The non-recency path (branches and reflog run
concurrently, as before) keeps passing Model.ReflogCommits.
Pure refactor: behavior is identical, since the value passed is exactly
what Load read from the model before.

refreshRemotes now loads the remotes on the worker and writes
Model.Remotes, rebuilds the pull-requests map, and updates the selected
remote's RemoteBranches inside an onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged bounce.
RemotesController.addAndCheckoutRemote read Model.Remotes right after its
SYNC REMOTES refresh to select the newly-added remote; since that write
now bounces, the selection (and the follow-up fetch) move into Then so
they run against the post-refresh model rather than the stale one.

refreshSubCommitsWithLimit now loads the sub-commits on the worker and
writes Model.SubCommits (and folds their authors into Model.Authors via
RefreshAuthors) inside an onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged bounce.
SubCommitsMutex and AuthorsMutex are left in place: the former is shared
with setSubCommits, the latter with the commits refresh's RefreshAuthors
call, so both come out only once those other writers are on the UI thread
too.

refreshRebaseCommits now computes the merged rebasing commits and working
tree state on the worker and writes Model.Commits /
WorkingTreeStateAtLastCommitRefresh in an onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged
bounce. LocalCommitsMutex is left in place for now; it's shared with the
commits and branches refreshes and comes out once they're all bounced.

refreshWorktrees now writes Model.Worktrees in an
onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged bounce. loadWorktrees becomes a pure loader
that returns the worktrees instead of writing them, since it's shared
with refreshBranches; refreshWorktrees bounces the result, and the
branches call site writes it directly for now (that write moves into
refreshBranches's own bounce when that scope is migrated).

refreshTags now captures the repo generation, loads the tags on the
worker, and writes Model.Tags in an onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged bounce
rather than directly from the worker goroutine.

refreshCommitFilesContext now enqueues the Model.CommitFiles write and
CommitFileTreeViewModel.SetTree() call via OnUIThread, instead of running
them directly on the worker goroutine that drives async refreshes. This is
what makes moving SwitchToDiffFilesController's post-refresh work into Then
(previous commit) actually necessary, rather than just future-proofing.
Same repo-switch hazard as the FILES bounce, closed the same way: it
captures the repo generation before the git work and bounces through
onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged, so the write is dropped if the user switched
repos while it was in flight.

FileTreeViewModel.RWMutex is removed along with the
withFileTreeViewModelMutex wrapper in FilesController that RLocked it:
every writer (the bounce closure, previous commit) and every reader (key
handlers, disabled-reason callbacks) now runs on the UI thread, so the
mutex is redundant.
RefreshingFilesMutex is removed entirely, including its last use in
repos_helper's DispatchSwitchTo. That use predates the bounce and was
never about FilesController's optimistic-rendering concern; it serialized
a repo switch's onNewRepo() against an in-flight FILES refresh for the
repo being switched away from, so that a slow refresh from the old repo
couldn't write into the freshly-reset model for the new one. Bouncing the
write already broke that guarantee on its own terms — the mutex's critical
section never covered the bounced closure's actual execution, only the
(now-removed) code that enqueued it — so by this point it was only still
locked here without protecting anything real; the previous commit's
repo-generation guard is what now actually closes that race, making this
lock fully redundant rather than just relocated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
refreshStateFiles now does its git work on the worker and enqueues a
single OnUIThread closure that writes Model.Submodules, Model.Files, and
the FileTreeViewModel state together, instead of writing them directly
from the worker goroutine. refreshStateSubmoduleConfigs becomes a pure
getter (returns the configs; no model write) so the result can be
threaded into that same bounce.
The STAGING handler wraps RefreshStagingPanel in OnUIThread after
fileWg.Wait() so it sees the post-bounce file model rather than the stale
pre-refresh one — without this it would race the files bounce queued just
above it.
Bouncing the write opens a hazard the old synchronous write didn't have:
if the user switches repos while this refresh is in flight, the queued
closure would fire after resetState has replaced the model with a fresh
one for the new repo, silently overwriting it with the previous repo's
files. Guard against this with a repo generation: resetState bumps a
counter on every switch, refreshStateFiles captures it before its git
work, and onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged drops the bounce if the generation
has moved on. This one helper is the general mechanism the remaining
scopes' bounces will use too; the same guard covers the rebase-continue
prompt, which reads Model.Files right after.
A generation counter, not a comparison of the *Model pointer: switching
away from and back to a repo reuses that repo's cached state (the same
Model pointer), which a pointer comparison would wrongly accept even
though the in-flight data is stale.
PromptToContinueRebase's Then callback (previous commit) now gets an
explanatory comment, since this is the commit that makes it necessary.
The explicit locking around these writes (RefreshingFilesMutex in
refreshFilesAndSubmodules, FileTreeViewModel.RWMutex around the write in
refreshStateFiles) is left in place for now even though it's becoming
redundant, to keep this commit focused on the bounce itself; it's removed
next.

This is preparation for upcoming commits that will bounce refresh-scope
model updates (e.g. Model.Files) onto the UI thread by enqueuing the
write via OnUIThread instead of applying it directly on the worker
goroutine. Once that lands, a Then callback that reads the model must
run after that queued write has been processed, not synchronously at
wg.Wait() time — at that point the workers have returned, but a bounce
they queued may not have been processed yet.
Queuing Then via OnUIThread here, ahead of that change, guarantees the
right ordering once it lands: a bounce queued earlier in the same
refresh is already sitting in the channel by the time wg.Wait()
returns, so Then enqueued after it will always be processed after, and
see the post-refresh model.
The signature change to func() error lets Then propagate errors
through gocui's normal error handler (the same path key-handler errors
take).

The prompt offering to continue a rebase/merge is opened from a refresh
and then left to sit until the user acts on it. But the operation can
change out from under it: a coding agent (or the user in another
terminal) might continue or abort it, or advance it to a commit with new
conflicts. The prompt then becomes stale — pressing continue fails with
"no rebase in progress" or acts on the wrong state.
Track whether the prompt is showing, and on each refresh dismiss it if
the operation is no longer in the "resolved, ready to continue" state
that the prompt is offering to act on. This runs on the same refreshes
that would open it (including the background poll and the refresh on
window focus), so the prompt disappears on its own shortly after the
operation moves on.

When conflicts of an in-progress rebase/merge/cherry-pick/revert are
resolved, lazygit pops up a prompt offering to continue it. This is
helpful when you started the operation in lazygit and resolved the
conflicts in your editor. But it's confusing when the operation was
started outside lazygit — e.g. by a coding agent in another terminal
that resolves the conflicts but hasn't continued yet because it's still
running tests or fixing the build. lazygit would then prompt unbidden.
Track whether the in-progress operation was started from within lazygit,
and only show the prompt in that case. We record this right after running
a merge/rebase step (in CheckMergeOrRebaseWithRefreshOptions, the
subprocess branch of genericMergeCommand, and the custom-command
conflict path), and clear it whenever a refresh observes that no
operation is in progress — which also handles an operation that was
finished or aborted externally.
The conflict-resolution tests start their operation by running git
directly (not through lazygit's UI), so they call the new test helper
Common.PretendMergeOrRebaseStartedInLazygit to have lazygit treat the
operation as its own and still get the prompt.

When restoring the commit selection after a refresh we match by hash and
TODO status. The TODO status is part of the match so that a commit being
reverted or cherry-picked is matched to the real commit rather than to
the rebase TODO entry that shares its hash.
But a selected commit can also change its TODO status across a refresh:
when starting an interactive rebase that stops to edit it, the real
commit becomes a TODO entry. Fall back to matching by hash alone when
there is no exact match, so the selection is still restored in that case.
The next commit relies on this to remove bespoke selection-restoration
code in the local commits controller that matched by hash alone, which
the generic mechanism otherwise wouldn't fully replace.
With the recently added external change detection, it happens more often
now that we refresh the commits list because an agent made a commit in
the background. In this case, if we keep the selection index the same,
it now points at a different commit, making the main view show a
different commit too, which is confusing and annoying. To fix this,
track the selected commit and range anchor by hash before reloading,
then restore those rows if both hashes still exist. This also allows us
to get rid of some bespoke code that did this for the specific cases of
reverting a commit or cherry-picking commits, because those are now
handled by the generic mechanism.
We set GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0 for every git command we run. That env var
only affects `git status`: it tells git not to take the optional lock it
would otherwise use to write the index back after refreshing the cached
stat information. The intent was to avoid contending for index.lock with
git commands the user runs in a terminal.
The downside is that our `git status` never persists the refreshed
stat-cache. So whenever the working tree's cached stat info goes stale
(e.g. editing files and discarding the changes, or a checkout), every
subsequent status re-hashes the affected files to confirm they're clean,
and stays slow until something else writes the index (such as the user
running `git status` in a terminal).
Fix this by only suppressing optional locks for refreshes that run
unattended in the background; foreground refreshes triggered by a user
action now run a plain `git status` that writes the refreshed index back,
just like the command line does. Background refreshes keep passing
--no-optional-locks so they still can't cause lock contention.
RefreshOptions gains a Background flag that the background routines set,
threaded down to the status command.

Add the storage and snapshot-update half of the external-change-detection
mechanism. RefreshHelper now keeps a mutex-protected snapshot string and exposes
accessors for it; Refresh captures a fresh snapshot at the start of any refresh
whose scope set includes COMMITS or BRANCHES.
We capture before reading the git state, not after. Capturing after would let an
external change that lands between the git state read and the snapshot (say, the
next step of a rebase running in another terminal) leave the stored snapshot
newer than what we actually rendered; the poller would then see no difference
and never refresh again, stranding the UI on the intermediate state. Capturing
first keeps the snapshot from running ahead of the render, so if disk moves
during the refresh the next poll catches it.
No reader of the snapshot exists yet — the polling goroutine that consumes it
comes in a later commit. Keeping the snapshot hook in its own commit isolates
the invariant that the snapshot stays in sync with what the UI has observed,
which is what makes the poller's change-detection predicate work across in-app
commands and focus-in refreshes.
Several downstream conditions in Refresh() relied on multi-scope predicates to
express "if X is in scope, Y also needs refreshing". This makes it hard to add
new code that needs to ask "does this refresh re-read refs?", because the answer
involves mirroring one of those predicates and keeping them in sync forever.
Expand the co-refreshing relationships once, up front, right after the scope set
is built. The downstream conditions then collapse to single-scope checks against
the (now-expanded) set. Behavior is preserved.
Two of the scattered multi-scope conditions are intentionally left as-is because
they express subsumption rather than co-refresh (one branch already does the
work of another internally — expanding would cause double-refresh), and one
expresses mid-function coupling on a flag set inside the COMMITS/BRANCHES block.
If `git worktree list` fails, we want the Worktrees model to fall back
to an empty slice so callers iterating over it stay correct. The error
branch was setting it to `[]`, but the line below unconditionally
overwrote it with the nil `worktrees` value from the failed call.
Use an else branch so the empty-slice fallback actually sticks.

The branches-panel PR icons only worked for github.com remotes. There was no
fundamental reason — the auth library we already vendor (cli/go-gh) supports
enterprise tokens out of the box (GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN, gh auth's keyring),
and the user-facing 'services' config has long been the documented way to
tell lazygit "this domain is a github service" for the View-PR-URL feature.
The fetcher just hardcoded github.com in three places:
- a substring check on the remote URL to decide we're "in a github repo",
- the GraphQL endpoint (always api.github.com/graphql), and
- the auth lookup (always against the default host).
Plumb the resolved web domain through instead. Detection now goes through
the hosting_service ("is this remote's provider 'github'?"), which means a
user with services: { 'git.acme.com': 'github:git.acme.com' } configured
gets PR icons on their GHE remotes too.
Replacing the substring check with a provider check also tightens a latent
bug in getGithubRemotes: it previously accepted any remote whose URL parsed
with the default regex, including gitlab and bitbucket — masked today only
by the InGithubRepo gate, but exposed once the gate goes away.

refreshBranches runs on a worker goroutine and re-renders the commits view
directly to refresh the branch-head visualization. As with refreshView, this
currently only flushes because HandleRender ends with self.c.Render(). Wrap the
explicit HandleRender call (along with the LocalCommitsMutex pair around it) in
OnUIThread so it keeps working once Render() is removed.
An async refresh dispatches refreshXyz on a worker goroutine, which then calls
refreshView -> PostRefreshUpdate -> HandleRender. Today the final
self.c.Render() inside ListContextTrait.HandleRender is what triggers a UI flush
from the worker. We're going to remove that Render() call, so prepare by
wrapping refreshView's body in OnUIThread.
This moves the entire rendering of the view (and the ReApplyFilter/ReApplySearch
stuff) to the UI thread, not just the layout. I don't expect this to make a
difference in practice, and it is already one step towards my long-term goal of
moving all view rendering to the UI thread (see
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues/2974#issuecomment-1729154768).
I copied all files except dot files (.github and .gitignore), the _examples
folder, and go.mod/go.sum.
At some point we may want to copy the files back to the gocui repo when other
clients (e.g. lazydocker) want to use the newer versions of them.
If the repo has multiple remotes, but only one of them is on Github (the others
might for example point to a self-hosted Critic server or something like that),
lazygit would still present a menu to choose the remote for pull requests, but
it would contain only that single entry. That's pointless, pick it automatically
without prompting.
We add some tests while we're at it; these wouldn't have caught the problem,
because they only test getGithubBaseRemote which already takes the filtered
github remotes. It's still better than not having any tests; the real issue
could only have been caught with an integration test, which we don't bother
adding.
If we used to have a base remote (e.g. because there was only one), but now we
don't (e.g. because the user has added a second one, and we don't know yet which
one is the base), stop showing the cached PRs. This is especially important in
the case that the user cancels the prompt, in which case we don't have a base
remote for the rest of the session, but would keep showing the (potentially
stale) cached PRs forever.
When no base repository is configured using gh, we have several heuristics for
choosing a likely base repo before prompting the user. One of these was that if
the origin remote exists, we'd choose that. This may be the right choice in some
cases, but in many others it's not; for example, in the common scenario of a
forking setup where the upstream repo's remote is called after its owner, and
the fork remote is called origin, we would choose origin as the base repo, which
results in not showing any PRs. Don't do that, and instead prompt the user for
the base repo in this case.
This avoids a naming collision with GetFilter from the
IFilterableContext interface, which will be implemented by
FileTreeViewModel in the next commit.

This makes it easier to use the full ref in the git merge-base call, which
avoids ambiguities when there's a tag with the same name as the current branch.
This fixes a hash coloring bug in the local commits panel when there's a tag
with the same name as the checked out branch; in this case all commit hashes
that should be yellow were painted as red.
Recycle reflog commits only for the non-filtered ones.
If we're not filtering, FilteredReflogCommits and ReflogCommits are the same. If
we then enter filtering and get reflog entries again, and pass a
lastReflogCommit, we'd recycle the previous FilteredReflogCommits, which are
unfiltered, so that's no good. Work around this by simply never using the
recycle mechanism when getting the filtered reflog commits.
We could do better by remembering what the last filter path or author was, and
only suppressing the recycling when it changed; but that's more complexity than
I want to add, so hopefully this is good enough.
I can only guess what happened here: in aa750c0819, this code to manually load
the reflog commits was added, to make sorting branches by recency work when the
reflog is filtered by path. At that time we didn't have separate ReflogCommits
and FilteredReflogCommits models yet. Then, FilteredReflogCommits was introduced
(in 8822c409e2), probably for the very purpose of being able to get rid of this
again; but then it was forgotton to actually get rid of it.
The funny thing is that the introduction of FilteredReflogCommits happened in
the very next commit, 15 minutes later.
At the same time, we change the defaults for both of them to "date" (they were
"recency" and "alphabetical", respectively, before). This is the reason we need
to touch so many integration tests. For some of them I decided to adapt the test
assertions to the changed sort order; for others, I added a SetupConfig step to
set the order back to "recency" so that I don't have to change what the test
does (e.g. how many SelectNextItem() calls are needed to get to a certain
branch).
Refresh is one of those functions that shouldn't require error handling (similar
to triggering a redraw of the UI, see
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues/3887).
As far as I see, the only reason why Refresh can currently return an error is
that the Then function returns one. The actual refresh errors, e.g. from the git
calls that are made to fetch data, are already logged and swallowed. Most of the
Then functions do only UI stuff such as selecting a list item, and always return
nil; there's only one that can return an error (updating the rebase todo file in
LocalCommitsController.startInteractiveRebaseWithEdit); it's not a critical
error if this fails, it is only used for setting rebase todo items to "edit"
when you start an interactive rebase by pressing 'e' on a range selection of
commits. We simply log this error instead of returning it.
The function would return "head/branchname" when there was either a tag or a
remote with the same name.
While fixing this we slightly change the semantic of the function (and of
determineCheckedOutBranchName, which calls it): for a detached head it now
returns an empty string rather than the commit hash. I actually think this is
better.
When refreshing the branches list, we have code to keep the same branch selected
even when the refresh changes the sort order; this code remembers the selected
branch before the refresh, and then tries to select it again afterwards (looking
it up by name) if it is still there.
However, we stored the previously selected branch too early, before even
obtaining the branches list; if the user moved the selection between that point
and the end of the refresh, it would jump back. Fix this by remembering the
previous selection only at the last moment, right before assigning the new
branches slice.
We still have a race condition here between the UI code that manages the
selection as the user presses arrow keys, and the background thread doing the
refresh that reads and restores the selection; however, the race was there
before, and we make it neither better nor worse with this PR. It doesn't seem to
be a problem in practice.
This in itself is not an improvement, because hashes are unique (they are shared
between real commits and rebase todos, but there are so few of those that it
doesn't matter). However, it becomes an improvement once we also store parent
hashes in the same pool; but the real motivation for this change is to also
reuse the hash pointers in Pipe objects later in the branch. This will be a big
win because in a merge-heavy git repo there are many more Pipe instances than
commits.
It looks like enums.go was supposed to be file that collects a bunch of enums,
but actually there's only one in there, and since it has methods, it deserves to
be in a file of its own, named after the type.
In ff4ae4a544 we changed the order of the calls to render before selecting the
branch. This was done only to save an extra call to ReApplyFilter, which is done
by refreshView; I claimed that the order of refreshView vs. SetSelectedLineIdx
doesn't matter here. I guess I was wrong about that, it makes the integration
test custom_commands/suggestions_preset.go flaky. To fix this, put the
refreshView call back to where it was (after the SetSelectedLineIdx call), and
instead insert an extra call to ReApplyFilter where necessary to fix the bug
that ff4ae4a544 was trying to fix.
The code that tries to reselect the same branch again uses GetItems, which in
case of filtering is the filtered list. After replacing the branches slice with
a new one, the filtered list is no longer up to date, so we must reapply the
filter before working with it. It so happens that refreshView does that, so
simply call that before setting the selection again; I don't think the order
matters in this case. Otherwise we'd have to insert another call to
ReApplyFilter before the call to GetItems, which we can avoid this way.
Note that this doesn't actually make anything work better in the case of
deleting a branch, since we can't reselect the deleted branch anyway of course.
But it avoids a possible crash if the branch that was deleted was the last one
in the unfiltered list.
This includes the "only conflicting" status that the user can't switch to
themselves. We display it anyway to give a hint that files are being filtered,
and to let them know that they can turn the filter off if they want to.
We don't need to maintain additional state to allow this; all we need to do is
take over the filter only when the number of conflicting files goes from zero to
non-zero, rather than every time it is non-zero.
The only problem is that we don't allow users to go back to showing only
conflicted files, but that's just because we don't have that as an entry in the
menu. And I don't think it's a problem.
This handles the situation where the user's own config says to not show
untracked files, as is often the case with bare repos managing a user's
dotfiles.
We make the name of the GetSelectedRefRangeForDiffFiles very specific on purpose
to make it clear that this is only for switching to diff files, so the
implementations can make assumptions about that (unlike GetSelectedRef, which is
used for different purposes and needs to stay more generic).
Right now it doesn't do very much yet, but it's still worth it even in this
state, I'd say. The function is going to become a bit longer in the next commit,
though.
This fixes two problems:
- Set the title ref to the commit description (like
SwitchToDiffFilesController.enter does), rather than just the hash
- SetTitleRef only sets the title of the DynamicTitleBuilder, but doesn't set it
on the view; this only happens in ContextMgr.Activate, so you'd have to switch
to a different side panel and then back to see the new title.
The comments that I'm deleting here explain why we need the bool; however, in
our case that's a theoretical issue. It would only arise if we ever were to pass
a nil context to SetParentContext, which we never do.
When branches are sorted by recency we have this logic that first loads the
branches so that they can be rendered quickly; in parallel, it starts loading
the reflog in the background, and when that's done, it loads the branches again
so that they get their recency values. This means that branches are loaded twice
at startup.
We don't need this logic when branches are not sorted by recency, so we can
simply load branches and reflog in parallel like everything else.
This shouldn't change any user observable behavior, it just avoids doing
unnecessary work at startup.
This lets us get rid of a few more calls to Error(), and it simplifies things
for clients of OnWorker: they can simply return an error from their callback
like we do everywhere else.
This commit introduces a new feature to the commit view, allowing users
to filter commits based on the author's name or email address. Similar
to the existing path filtering functionality, accessible through <c-s>,
this feature allows users to filter the commit history by the currently
selected commit's author if the commit view is focused, or by typing in
the author's name or email address.
This feature adds an entry to the filtering menu, to provide users with
a familiar and intuitive experience
Scenario:
- show the files of a commit, escape out of it again
- start an interactive rebase of a stack of branches, with the rebase.updateRefs
git config set to true
- select one of the update-ref todos
- trigger a refresh (either manually or by bringing lazygit's terminal window to
the front)
This results in an error message "fatal: ambiguous argument '': unknown revision
or path not in the working tree."
Fix this by putting another band-aid on the check for the commit files refresh.
This is the easiest way to fix the problem, but I don't think it's the best one.
We shouldn't be refreshing the commit files context at all if it isn't visible,
because it's pointless; there's no way to switch to it again except by calling
viewFiles again with a specific ref. But I'm too lazy too figure out how to do
that right now.
This wasn't necessary before, because the only available branch sorting option
was by recency, so the sort order couldn't change except by checking out
branches. Now, you can sort by committer date, so the branch order can change by
fetching; in this case it's important to keep the same branch selected. One
important use case is to rebase the checked-out branch onto master; you select
master, press "f" to fetch it (this can now change its position in the list),
and then press "r" to rebase. To make this work smoothly it's important to keep
master selected after pressing "f".
refreshWorktrees re-renders the branches view, because the branches view shows
worktrees against branches. This means that when both BRANCHES and WORKTREES are
requested to be refreshed, the branches view would be rendered twice in short
succession. This causes an ugly visual glitch when force-pushing a branch,
because when pushing is done, we would see the ↑4↓9 status come back from under
the Pushing status for a brief moment, to be replaced with a green checkmark a
moment later.
Fix this by including the worktree refresh in the branches refresh when both are
requested. This means that the two are no longer running in parallel for an
async refresh, but hopefully that's not so bad.
When pulling/pushing/fast-forwarding a branch, show this state in the branches
list for that branch for as long as the operation takes, to make it easier to
see when it's done (without having to stare at the status bar in the lower
left).
This will hopefully help with making these operations feel more predictable, now
that we no longer show a loader panel for them.
This is not a complete fix, but it's good enough to fix the spurious test
failures of submodule/reset.go. We have some vague hope to fix this in a more
sustainable way by somehow improving our concurrency model fundamentally, but
that's a more long-term undertaking, and it's annoying that this test fails so
often, so let's fix it in this way for now.
