Previously it would iterate over all changed files and call git checkout or git
reset for each one, which can take forever if there are hundreds or thousands of
files. Now it batches these into a single command if possible (taking care of
still passing the individual path names to the git call rather than just the
directory, which is necessary for making it work correctly when filtering --
this was actually broken for the "Discard unstaged changes" command, which is
fixed here).
When discarding a directory, we only want to discard those files that are
visible in the current filter view. The tests show that this already works
correctly for discarding all changes, but it doesn't for discarding only
unstaged changes: in this case, untracked files are handled correctly, but
changes to tracked files are discarded without respecting the filter.
This fixes the problem; a consequence of this change is that given the following
scenario:
@@ -1,3 +1,3 @@
1
-2
+2b
3
staging only the line `+2b` will put it *before* the unchanged `2` line, rather
than after it as you might expect (the changed unit tests demonstrate this).
Since this should be a pretty uncommon scenario, I guess it is an ok compromise.
As you can see in the changed tests, while the behavior of what gets staged is
fixed now, it doesn't always correctly select the next line to stage. We'll
address this in the next commit.
This is a pretty special case (see comment in the test for details). It is
working correctly, but I almost broke it during development, so it's good to
cover it with a test.
Given a block of consecutive changed lines, trying to stage only some of them
doesn't work correctly in all cases:
- if the staged lines are the last lines in the block of changes, it already
works
- when staging some changes in the middle of the block, it doesn't work as
desired, but we also don't try to fix this case in this branch, because it's
harder to do, and not as common as the other two
- staging the first lines of the block doesn't work as desired, and we will fix
that in this branch.
When a branch is checked out by another worktree, show the worktree
name in the label, e.g. "(worktree cosmos2)" instead of just
"(worktree)", so you can immediately see which worktree holds it.
This commit implements the ability to cycle backward through different
all branches log visualization modes, complementing the existing forward
cycling functionality. Users can now press 'A' (Shift+a) to cycle in
reverse through the available log graph views, improving navigation
efficiency when they overshoot their desired view.
Changes:
- Added RotateAllBranchesLogIdxBackward() method to BranchCommands for
backward rotation through log command candidates
- Introduced AllBranchesLogGraphReverse keybinding configuration with
default key 'A' (uppercase)
- Implemented switchToOrRotateAllBranchesLogsBackward() handler in
StatusController that mirrors forward cycling logic
- Added English translation for "Show/cycle all branch logs (reverse)"
The implementation uses modulo arithmetic with proper handling of
negative indices to ensure seamless backward cycling through the
available log visualization options.
When .git/info directory does not exist (can happen with bare clones
or manual deletion), the Exclude function failed with 'no such file
or directory'. Added os.MkdirAll to create the directory before
opening the exclude file.
Added integration test exclude_without_info_dir that removes .git/info
before attempting to exclude a file.
The worktrees tab now displays the checked-out branch (or detached HEAD
state) for each worktree, making it much easier to see which worktree
holds which branch.
This is useful when you need to "unlock" a branch that's occupied by
another worktree: you can now clearly see which worktrees are on a
branch vs detached, without having to select each one individually.
Also rename the "(main)" label to "(main worktree)" to avoid confusion
with the common "main" branch name, and move it after the branch column.
Change working tree files and commit files panels to use filtering
(reducing the list) instead of search (highlighting matches). This
matches the behavior of other filterable views.
The text filter matches against the full file path, not just the
filename, which is more useful for navigating large directory trees.
When toggling a directory for a custom patch while a text filter is
active, only the visible filtered files in the directory are affected,
consistent with how staging a directory in the files panel works.

Without this check, the selection was being reset to 0 whenever
ReApplyFilter was called for the current filter context, even when
the user wasn't actively typing in the search prompt (e.g. when the
model updates in the background). This was causing unexpected cursor
jumps.

I always press 'd' in the patch building view, expecting that I can do
exactly what I can do in the staging view, to find out I need to go
space -> ctrl+p -> d and I think it's time to honour the muscle memory
and support this convenience keybinding.
Only mention resetting the patch when there actually is one. This way users have
to read less text in the normal case, and the added note hopefully stands out
more if there is one. Also, separate the note from the previous text by a blank
line.
"Remove" can be confusing when a deleted file is selected; in this cases it
actually "un-removes" it. "Discard" hopefully makes it clearer that we are
talking about the change to a file, and not the file itself.
Paths added to ignore/exclude files need to be prefixed with a forward
slash to point to a specific file in the directory tree.
Without that prefix a file at root called `file` (added to `.gitignore`
as `file`) would match with `./file` and `./src/file`.
I've optimised for muscle memory backwards compatibility here:
- Outside interactive rebase: press 'f' then instead of a confirmation
panel, a menu appears where you can choose to keep the selected commit's
message
- Inside interactive rebase: press 'f' then press 'c' to see the menu
for keeping the message, where if you press 'c' again it will retain the
current message. so 'fcc' is the chord to press.
We're also now showing the -C flag (which is what enables the behaviour)
against the todo.
I've picked the 'c' keybinding because 'C' was taken and it corresponds
to the flag. Previously that showed a warning about a change in
keybinding for cherry picking but it's been ages since we've made that
change so I'm happy to retire it.
We move the selection down by the number of commits that were reverted (to keep
the same commits selected). However, this only happens after refreshing, which
has rendered the main view with the wrong commit, so we need to render it again
after moving the selection.
There are many other callers of MoveSelection in LocalCommitsController, but all
of them happen before the refresh. Revert is special because it needs to move
the selection after refreshing, e.g. when reverting the only commit of a branch.
This is not really super important because we are very unlikely to assign a key
such as esc or up/down to a menu item. However, users might do this in a custom
commands menu, and in that case it is important that the builtin keys still
work; or they might remap those builtin commands to other keys, in which case
they might conflict with single-letter keys in normal menus.
The test shows two problems: a <down> keybinding is not removed from a menu item
(the 'y' binding is removed though, which is correct), and keybindings such as
'j' and 'H' don't work. We will fix both of these separately in the following
commits.
We want to test the order in which the commits are listed in the error message.
For one of the tests the order is already as we want it, but for the other it's
not (we want them to show up in log order). We'll fix this in the next commit.
We move the code to push the branches context into CheckoutRef, this way it
works consistently no matter where we call it from. Previously, checking out
remote branches or tags would switch to the branches view, but checking out a
commit did not.
Note that it now also takes effect for undoing or redoing a checkout, which may
be a bit questionable; but I still think it makes sense for this, too.
Introduce the 'SelectedSubmodule' struct and allow using it as a
placeholder value.
Add a corresponding test.
Update the documentation to include it among the listed placeholder
values.
This will put whatever git's default merge variant is as the first menu item,
and add a second item which is the opposite (no-ff if the default is ff, and
vice versa).
If users prefer to always have the same option first no matter whether it's
applicable, they can make ff always appear first by setting git's "merge.ff"
config to "true" or "only", or by setting lazygit's "git.merging.args" config to
"--ff" or "--ff-only"; if they want no-ff to appear first, they can do that by
setting git's "merge.ff" config to "false", or by setting lazygit's
"git.merging.args" config to "--no-ff". Which of these they choose depends on
whether they want the config to also apply to other git clients including the
cli, or only to lazygit.
I can't do my usual "add the tests first, with EXPECTED/ACTUAL sections that
document the bug" method here, because the tests would hang without the bug
being fixed.
We need two different tests here: one where a cherry-picked commit simply
becomes empty "by itself", because the change is already present on the
destination branch (this was only a problem with git versions older than 2.45),
and the other where the cherry-pick stops with conflicts, and the user resolves
them such that no changes are left, and then continues the cherry-pick. This
would still fail even with git 2.45 or later. The fix is the same for both cases
though.
The tests show that the selection behavior after skipping an empty cherry-picked
commit is not ideal, but since that's only a minor cosmetic problem we don't
bother fixing it here.
Our logic to decide if a file needs to be checked out from the previous commit
or deleted because it didn't exist in the previous commit didn't work for
submodules. We were using `git cat-file -e` to ask whether the file existed, but
this returns an error for submodules, so we were always deleting those instead
of reverting them back to their previous state.
Switch to using `git ls-tree -- file` instead, which works for both files and
submodules.
It works for submodules too.
Also, pass file name and file content explicitly; the existing tests don't care
about these, but when writing tests that do, it makes them easier to understand.
Replace merge-tool with merge options menu that allows resolving all
conflicts for selected files as ours, theirs, or union, while still
providing access to the merge tool.
To fix the problem described in the previous commit, iterate backwards over the
stashes that we want to delete. This allows us to use their Index field.
The test shows that we are currently auto-forwarding branches even if they are
checked out by another worktree; this is quite bad, because when you switch to
that other worktree you'll see that the files that are touched by the fetched
commits are all modified (which we don't test here).
This was needed in an earlier version of the test, when we asserted the file
content in a more complicated way. It should have been removed in caca62b89e.
This assertion didn't test anything useful, given that the filtered view already
has two lines. This should have been adapted in 9f0b4d0000 when we added
section headers while filtering.
Also, fix two other commands that stage all files under the hood:
- when continuing a rebase after resolving conflicts, we auto-stage all files,
but in this case we never want to include untracked files, regardless of the
filter
- likewise, pressing ctrl-f to find a base commit for fixup stages all files for
convenience, but again, this should only stage files that are already tracked
These should have been added when we started rendering this information in
e5b09f34e0; apparently I was too lazy back then. Adding them now to guard
against breaking it in the next commit.
I'm adding these to the CRUD tests, it doesn't seem worth adding separate tests
just for these assertions.
There's no reason not to allow these.
Technically we could enable a few more, but I chose not to because some might be
surprising or confusing in filtering mode. For example, creating a fixup commit
would work (shift-F), but the newly created commit might not show up if it
doesn't match the filter. Similarly, pressing `f` to fixup a commit into its
parent would work, but that parent commit might not be visible, so users might
expect to be fixing up into the next visible commit.
When shift-selecting a range of commits across a file rename in
filtering-by-path mode, the diff currently shows an added file rather than a
renamed file. Add a test that demonstrates this, we'll fix this in the next
commit.
When filtering for a file path we use the --follow option for "git log", so it
will follow renames of the file, which is great. However, if you then selected
one of the commits before a rename, you didn't see a diff, because we would pass
the original filter path to the "git show" call.
To fix this, call git log with the --name-status option when filtering by path,
so that each commit reports which file paths are touched in this commit;
remember these in the commit object, so that we can pass them to the "git show"
call later.
Be careful not to store too many such paths unnecessarily. When filtering by
folder rather than file, all these paths will necessarily be inside the original
filter path, so detect this and don't store them in this case.
There is some unfortunate code duplication between loading commits and loading
reflog commits, which I am too lazy to clean up right now.
The test shows that selecting a commit before the rename shows an empty diff,
and selecting the rename itself shows an added file rather than a rename.
This broke with the introduction of the age in the stashes list in bc330b8ff3
(which was included in 0.41, so 12 minor versions ago).
This makes it work again when filtering by file, but it still doesn't work when
filtering by folder (and never has). We'll fix that next.
The test shows that it doesn't work, the list is empty both when filtering by
file and by folder.
I could have added test cases for these to the unit tests in
stash_loader_test.go instead, but I don't find tests that need to mock git's
output very valuable, so I opted for an integration test even though it takes
much longer to run.
Similar to what was done in 457cdce61d, and for the same reason.
However, instead of waiting and fixing them one by one as we see them fail, I
decided to go about it more systematically. To do that, I added calls to
`time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)` in all the Shell.Commit* helper functions; this
ensures that all the commits we make get different committer time stamps, making
all these tests fail. With this I'm pretty confident that we're good now.
When entering filtering we would only call FocusLine, which takes care of
highlighting the selected line in the commits list, but not of re-rendering the
main view. HandleFocus does that.
When exiting filtering, the HandleFocus call was missing entirely.
The tests needed to be reworked a little bit to make this testable.
Now that -committerdate is the default sort order, we could get different
results for the sort order of the branches list depending on whether the commits
on both branches have the same committer time stamp (likely in an integration
test, since git time stamps have second resolution), in which case git will fall
back to alphabetical order, or not (rare, but possible), in which case master
will have the newer commit and will come first. Make this stable by forcing the
sort order to alphabetical.
We might have more tests with this problem, we'll just have to fix them one by
one as we see them fail.
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).
While it's true that the behavior is a little different from the staging panel,
where the staged lines are actually removed from the view and in many cases the
selection stays more or less in the same place, it is still very useful to move
to the next stageable thing in the custom patch building view too.
CheckMergeOrRebase calls Refresh already. However, it does an async refresh by
default, so we must turn this into a sync refresh so that moving the selection
down by one works even for the very first commit in history. Also, we must add
an explicit call to FocusLine so that the view selection is in sync with the
model selection; previously this was taken care of by the PostRefreshUpdate call
that happens as part of a refresh.
Keep the same commit selected, by moving the selection down by the number of
cherry-picked commits. We also do this when reverting commits, and it is
possible now that we use a sync waiting status.
We also need to turn the refresh that happens as part of CheckMergeOrRebase into
a sync one, so that the commits list is up to date and the new selection isn't
clamped.
We are about to change the selection behavior when cherry-picking, and it's good
to have tests that document in what way it changes in the next commit.
Unlike moving a patch to the index, applying or reverting a patch didn't
auto-stash, which means that applying a patch when there's a modified (but
unstaged) file in the working tree would error out with the message "error:
file1: does not match index", regardless of whether those modifications conflict
with the patch or not.
To fix this, we *could* add auto-stashing like we do for the "move patch to
index" command. However, in this case we rather simply stage the affected files
(after asking for confirmation). This has a few advantages:
- it only changes the staging state of those files that are contained in the
patch (whereas auto-stashing always changes all files to unstaged)
- it doesn't unnecessarily show a confirmation if none of the modified files are
affected by the patch
- if the patch conflicts with the modified files, the conflicts were "backwards"
("ours" was the patch, "theirs" the modified file); it is more logical if "ours"
is the current state of the file, and "theirs" is the patch.
It's a little unfortunate that the behavior isn't exactly the same as for "move
patch to index", but for that one we do need the auto-stash because of the
rebase that runs behind the scenes.
The tests show that this currently fails with the confusing error message "does
not match index", regardless of whether the patch conflicts with the
modifications or not. We'll improve this in the next commit.
I don't bother adding tests for reverting a patch, as the code is basically the
same as for apply.
This is functionality that works already, we only add the test for more complete
test coverage. However, there's a detail problem, and the test demonstrates
this: we keep the stash even if there was no conflict. We'll fix this next.
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.
The icon will appear when there's a tag with the same name as the current branch
(that's what we're testing here), or even when there's a remote with the same
name. I'm not adding a test for this latter case, but this was actually how I
discovered the issue.
Pretty basic fix, didn't seem to have any complications.
I only added the refs/ prefix to the FullRefName() method
to align with other similar methods, and to make this change
not impact any user facing modals.
Fixes: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues/4634
Also adds a test demonstrating that the stash show behavior is now fixed
This now allows for leaving the status panel and returning back to the
same log command. Previously any return to the status panel would result
in the next command in the list being shown. Now, you need to press `a`,
with a log command being rendered, to rotate to the next
allBranchesLogCmd.
BeginInteractiveRebaseForCommit is used for all the patch commands, and for
rewording. It works by setting the commit we want to stop at to 'edit'; this
doesn't work for merge commits. This wasn't a problem for the patch commands so
far, because you typically don't use custom patches with merge commits (although
we don't prevent this; maybe we should?).
However, it was a problem when you tried to reword a merge commit; this
previously failed with an error, as the test added in the previous commit
demonstrated.
Also, we want to add a new patch command that has to stop *before* the selected
commit (pull patch to new commit before the original one), and this wouldn't
work for the first commit in a feature branch, because it would have to set the
last commit before that to 'edit', which isn't possible if that's a merge (which
is likely).
To fix all this, use a 'break' before the selected commit if the commit is a
merge. It is important that we only do it in that case and not always, otherwise
we would break the new regression tests that were added a few commits ago.
I almost broke this during the development of this branch, so add a test to
guard against that. The point here is that the stack remains intact, i.e. the
newly created commit is the last commit of the lower branch, and thus shows the
"*".

This is very old; I can only guess that this was added at a time where today's
list column handling wasn't in place yet, so the space was needed to separate
columns. This now causes a gap of two spaces between the rebase todo column and
the author column, which I'm sure wasn't intended. Funny that I never noticed.
Previously we would render the diff for a directory to the main/secondary pair,
but a diff for a file to the staging/stagingSecondary pair. (And similar for
commit files: main/secondary for directories, but
patchBuilding/patchBuildingSecondary for files.)
I always found this confusing and couldn't really understand why we are doing
this; but now it gets in my way because I want to attach a controller to
main/secondary so that they can be focused. So change it to always use the main
context pair for everything we render from a side panel.
When rerendering a view at the end of a refresh, we call HandleFocus only if the
view has the focus. This is so that we rerender the main view for the new
selection.
What was missing here is to update the view selection from the list selection if
the view doesn't have the focus, so that the selection is painted properly.
Normally this is not relevant because you don't see the selection if another
side panel has the focus; however, you do see it as an inactive selection when
e.g. a popup is shown, in which case it does matter.
This will become more important when we introduce section headers for commits,
because in that case the view selection needs to change when the working copy
state changes from normal to rebasing or vice versa, even if the list selection
stays the same.
The changed test submodule/reset.go shows how this was wrong before: when
entering the submodule again after resetting, there is a refresh which keeps the
same branch selected as before (master); however, since the branches panel is
not focused, the view didn't notice and kept thinking that the detached head is
selected (which it isn't, you can tell by running the test in sandbox mode and
focusing the branches panel at the end: you'll see that master is selected). So
the change in this commit fixes that.
We do this because
- it's closer to what you would do on the command line
- it simplifies the code a bit
- it will allow us to support cherry-picking merge commits.
We treat the .git/sequencer/todo file as read-only. Technically it seems it
would be possible to treat it as modifiable in the same way as
.git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo, effectively turning a cherry-pick or revert
that stops at a conflict into an interactive rebase; however, git itself doesn't
allow this (there is no "git cherry-pick --edit-todo"), so it seems safer not to
rely on it.
Theoretically it would be possible to allow modifying the rebase todos when a
cherry-pick or revert conflicts in the middle of a rebase. However, it would
introduce a bit of complexity to support this, as we would have to be able to
distinguish between rebasing todos and cherry-picking/reverting todos, which we
currently can't; it could also be a bit error-prone as far as edge cases are
concerned. And it's really a pretty uncommon situation, so it doesn't seem worth
it, and we just forbid all modifications to todos whenever we are cherry-picking
or reverting.
What happens here is that when stopping on an "edit" todo entry, we rely on the
assumption that if the .git/rebase-merge/amend file exists, the command was
successful, and if it doesn't, there was a conflict. The problem is that when
you stop on an edit command, and then run a multi-commit cherry-pick or rebase,
this will delete the amend file. You may or may not consider this a bug in git;
to work around it, we also check the existence of the rebase-merge/message file,
which will be deleted as well by the cherry-pick or revert.
This problem can't happen inside of lazygit itself right now, but this will
change in the future. It will only happen when you stopped in an interactive
rebase on an "edit" entry, and then you perform a revert or cherry-pick
consisting of more than one commit; in this situation lazygit will show a
conflict although there is none.
This is not possible with lazygit yet, as we don't support range-select for
reverting, and we don't use `git cherry-pick` for cherry-picking. Both will
change in the future, so it's good to fix this bug.
It is useful to see if the conflicted commit was a "pick" or an "edit". What's
more, we're about to add support for showing cherry-picks and reverts, and
seeing that a conflicted commit was a revert is important because its diff is
backwards compared to the diff of the conflicting files in the Files panel.
When you are in the middle of a rebase, and you cherry-pick a commit which
conflicts, it helps to be clear on whether you are prompted to continue the
cherry-pick or the rebase.
The situation is that you perform a rebase, and one of the commits becomes empty
during the rebase, in a way that couldn't be predicted before the rebase
started. To explain: git rebase has some logic where it immediately discards
commits if it can tell that they already exist in the branch being rebased onto;
it does this by looking at the patch ids of the commits to work out which
commits already exist upstream. But for those commits that become empty even
though there isn't a corresponding commit upstream, git stops with an error, and
lazygit detects this (in CheckMergeOrRebaseWithRefreshOptions) and automatically
continues the rebase.
This all works fine; I'm adding this test because I almost broke this during
development of this branch, so I'm adding it to guard against regressions.
For #, !, [, and ], the problem is that it doesn't ignore the file because the
special characters need to be quoted. For *, the problem is that it ignores too
much (it also hides the abc_def file because the * is treated as a glob).
We removed prefilling the skipHook prefix in b102646b20 with the intention of
making it clearer that using the prefix in normal commits and typing `w` to skip
hooks are now two independent features.
It turns out that some people liked it with prefilling the prefix and perceive
it as a regression, so put it back in.
But only if we don't have a preserved message; this is an important use case,
when you try to make a normal commit, the hook fails, and then you want to make
the same commit with skipping the hook, but with the same message that you
already typed.
This makes it possible to use date and time in initial values like this:
```yaml
initialValue: 'ruudk/{{ runCommand "date +\"%Y/%-m\"" }}/'
```
I want to use this to configure my BranchPrefix like this:
```yaml
git:
branchPrefix: 'ruudk/{{ runCommand "date +\"%Y/%-m\"" }}/'
```
We keep the same commit selected (even though its index changed because of the
added update-ref todo), which is nice; however, the main view shows the diff of
the wrong commit, which is very confusing. I'm suprised that this hasn't been
noticed yet.
The reason why this happens is that we first do the refresh, which includes
re-rendering the main view diff (with the same commit index as before, so the
wrong one), and then we restore the correct commit index but don't render the
main view again.
Renaming a file inside the same directory shows it with its full path in the
tree view, which isn't what we want. We'll fix this in the next commit.
Also adding a few other test cases for moving files; they show that the display
of moved files in tree view isn't ideal. For example, moving file1 from top
level into dir shows it as "R file1 → file1", which isn't distinguishable from
renaming file1 inside dir. I suppose what we would like to have here is
"R ../file1 → file1" or something, but I'll leave that for the future; here I
only want to fix the regression that was introduced with the root item PR.
