In all other menus besides the keybindings menu it makes sense to hide
keybindings that match the confirmMenu binding. This is important to make it
clear which action will be triggered when you press the key.
In the keybindings menu this is different; the main purpose of that menu is not
to allow triggering commands by their key while the menu is open, but to serve
as a reference for what the keybindings are when it is not open. Because of
this, it is more important to show all bindings in this menu, even if they
conflict with the confirmMenu key.
This fixes a regression introduced in b3a3410a1a.
This is needed when remapping the confirmMenu key to, say, "y", and there's a
menu that has an item with a "y" binding. This already worked correctly (confirm
takes precedence, as desired), but it's still confusing to see the item binding.
It seems useful to have the flexibility to remap "enter" in confirmations to
"y", but keep "enter" for menus and suggestions (even though we sometimes use
menus as confirmations, but it's still good to give users the choice).
This one doesn't make a difference in practice because we don't remap the key in
tests, but if we would, then this would no longer work correctly. It's just more
correct this way.
The universal.confirm keybinding is the wrong one to use for this, we want
universal.goInto instead. They are both bound to "enter" by default, but when
remapping confirm to "y" we don't want to use that for entering worktrees.
Rebinding the universal.confirm keybinding currently doesn't make sense, because
the rebound key would also be used for editable prompts, which means you would
only be able to bind it to a ctrl key (not "y", which is desirable for some
people), and also it would allow you to enter a line feed in a branch name.
Fix this by always using enter for editable prompts.
So far, confirmations and prompts were handled by the same view, context, and
controller, with a bunch of conditional code based on whether the view is
editable. This was more or less ok so far, since it does save a little bit of
code duplication; however, now we need separate views, because we don't have
dynamic keybindings, but we want to map "confirm" to different keys in
confirmations (the "universal.confirm" user config) and prompts (hard-coded to
enter, because it doesn't make sense to customize it there).
It also allows us to get rid of the conditional code, which is a nice benefit;
and the code duplication is actually not *that* bad.
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 is similar to using lazygit's Git.Paging.ExternalDiffCommand config, except
that the command is configured in git. This can be done either with git's
`diff.external` config, or through .gitattributes, so it gives a bit more
flexibility.
Many people don't understand what this means, which is apparent from the amount
of issues that got filed because of this. Let's get rid of it to avoid this
confusion. People will have to configure their pager twice if they want to use
it both on the command line and in lazygit, which I think is not a big deal.
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 frees up ctrl-z for suspend. Hopefully, redo is not such a frequently used
operation that the change annoys people.

In some cases we set a disabled reason but leave the text empty, so that we
don't get an error toast when the item is invoked. In such a case it looks
awkward if there is a tooltip showing "Disabled: " with no following text.
For many menus, just "Close" is fine, but some menus act more like confirmations
(e.g. the menu that appears when you cherry-pick and get conflicts); in this
case, it's good to make it more obvious that hitting esc cancels the whole
thing.
Dismissing a range selection is handled by the global escape handler for all
list views, but not for the staging and patch building views, so we need to make
the esc description dynamic for these, too.
The main reason for this is that sometimes the escape key is handled by a local
binding, in which case it appears before the '?' binding in the options status
bar, and other times it is handled by the global controller, in which case it
appeared after. Moving it to before the keybindings menu handler makes it appear
before '?' in both cases.
Also, if the window is too narrow to show all keybindings, the ones that don't
fit will be truncated, and in this case it is more important to show the esc
binding because of its context sensitivity.
This also moves the esc entry up a few positions in the keybindings menu, but I
don't think this matters much.
Sometimes there is a local and a global keybinding for the same key; if both are
configured to be shown in the options map, we should only show the local one
because it takes precedence. This happens for example for <esc> in a popup, or
for <esc> in the focused main view.
Note that this is also a problem in the keybindings menu, and we don't solve
that here.
It's maybe not totally obvious, so let's show it.
Esc now appears twice in the status bar, because the global controller also
appends its generic "Cancel". We'll fix this in the next commit.
An example for this can be seen in the next commit.
We make this a setter rather than an added constructor argument so that we don't
have to change all those contexts that don't want to make use of this.
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.
The previous commit already fixed the user-visible lag, but there's still a
problem with multiple background git processes consuming resources calculating
diffs that we are never going to show. Improve this by terminating those
processes (by sending them a TERM signal).
Unfortunately this is only possible on Linux and Mac, so Windows users will have
to live with the higher CPU usage. The recommended workaround is to not use
"diff.algorithm = histogram".
One reason why git diff can be very slow is when "diff.algorithm = histogram" is
being used. In this case, showing a very long single-file diff can take seconds
to load, and you'll see the "loading..." message in the main view until we got
the first lines of the diff to show. There's nothing really we can do about this
delay; however, when switching to another, shorter file (or commit) while the
"loading..." message is still showing, this switch should be instantaneous. And
it was before 0.54.0, but we broke this in 0.54.0 with 8d7740a5ac (#4782); now
users have to wait for the slow git diff command to output more text before the
switch occurs.
To fix this, don't block waiting for the process to terminate if we just stopped
it.
When showing a confirmation whose text ended with a line feed, we would make the
popup panel one line less tall than it needs to be, so it would show a scroll
bar. One example where this occurred is the very first popup that users ever see
(the "seriously you rock" message for new users); that's a pretty bad first
impression.
This happens because our code to suppress trailing newlines in views doesn't
work for styled text, and the text in confirmations is bold. This code checks if
the last character of the text is a line feed, and in this case it isn't; the
escape sequence for turning bold off comes after it.
We should really fix this by improving that mechanism, but this would require
some tricky logic, so as a quick fix, trim trailing (and leading) linefeeds from
the text that we display in a confirmation, before making it bold.
In 3a9dbf7341 we created a global /tmp/lazygit/ folder that contains the temp
directories of each running instance, to avoid polluting /tmp with multiple
folders. The problem with that approach was that the folder was created with 700
permissions, so if multiple users were using lazygit on the same machine (e.g. a
server), all users except the first one would get fatal errors on startup.
Fix this by creating temp folders containing the user's uid.
When the useHunkModeInStagingView config is on and you enter the staging view
with hunk selection enabled, it is confusing to see "a: Select hunk" in the
options view at the bottom.
As we just did for tasks, close their stdout pipe instead. This makes the called
process terminate more gracefully.
This isn't a change that we *need* to make, it's just a bit nicer.
Now that we close a task's stdout pipe when we are done with it, it should
terminate by itself at that point, so there's no longer a need to kill it. This
way, called processes get a chance to terminate gracefully rather than being
killed with SIGKILL; in particular, this allows git to clean up its index.lock
file if it created one.
This is no longer as important now that we fixed the stale, left-over temp dirs
caused by daemon mode, but it could still be helpful in case lazygit crashes, or
if you have many instances of lazygit running.
The function that called us has just created a temp dir, and scheduled a defer
to remove it again; by calling os.Exit we short-cut this defer, and don't clean
up the temp dir. There is no reason to exit here, the calling function will
return after having called us.
Previously we would call git merge-base with the upstream branch to determine
where unpushed commits end and pushed commits start, and also git merge-base
with the main branch(es) to see where the merged commits start. This worked ok
in normal cases, but it had two problems:
- when filtering by path or by author, those merge-base commits would usually
not be part of the commit list, so we would miss the point where we should
switch from unpushed to pushed, or from pushed to merged. The consequence was
that in filtering mode, all commit hashes were always yellow.
- when main was merged into a feature branch, we would color all commits from
that merge on down in green, even ones that are only part of the feature branch
but not main.
To fix these problems, we switch our approach to one where we call git rev-list
with the branch in question, with negative refspecs for the upstream branch and
the main branches, respectively; this gives us the complete picture of which
commits are pushed/unpushed/merged, so it also works in the cases described
above.
And funnily, even though intuitively it feels more expensive, it actually
performs better than the merge-base calls (for normal usage scenarios at least),
so the commit-loading part of refresh is faster now in general. We are talking
about differences like 300ms before, 140ms after, in some unscientific
measurements I took (depends a lot on repo sizes, branch length, etc.). An
exception are degenerate cases like feature branches with hundreds of thousands
of commits, which are slower now; but I don't think we need to worry about those
too much.
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.
GetMergeBase is always called with a full ref, so it shouldn't need the
ignoringWarnings hack (which is about ignoring warnings coming from ambiguous
refs).
Also, separate stdout and stderr, which would also have solved the problem. We
no longer really need it now, but it's still cleaner.
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
This way we don't have to update the text and all translations every time we
bump the version.
Remove the year from the error text, it's cumbersome to update and I don't find
it very important to have in the message.
Also remove the invitation to file an issue; I don't find it very likely that we
are going to relax the minimum git requirement again.
It seems that `git for-each-ref` is a lot slower than `git tag --list` when
there are thousands of tags, so revert back to the previous method, now that we
no longer use the IsAnnotated field.
This reverts commit b12b1040c3.
Storing it in the Tag struct makes loading tags a lot slower when there is a
very large number of tags; so determine it on the fly instead. On my machine,
the additional call takes under 5ms, so it seems we can afford it.
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.
Like message, extraField can get very long (when there are thousands of tags on
a single commit), so move it to the end; this allows us to truncate overly long
lines in the output and still get all the essential fields.

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.
We show it only if the "showPanelJumps" config is on, although the
focus-main-view command is not technically part of the panel jump keys; but it
looks similar.
I left this out originally because it's not needed for the status "dashboard"
view (except on really tiny screens); however, it *is* useful after pressing `a`
to show the all branches log, and even more so for people who use the
"statusPanelView: allBranchesLog" config. And it doesn't really hurt for the
dashboard view either, so just enable it always rather than making a distinction
which view we are showing.
This is not a behavior change, we already include these in the menu, but that's
because of a bug that we will fix in the next commit.
I find it useful to see these commands, especially for rarely-used custom
commands that you don't want to waste a keybinding on.
When entering staging (or patch building) for an added or deleted file, it
doesn't make sense to use hunk mode, because pressing space would stage/unstage
the entire file, and if the user wanted to do that, they would have pressed
space in the Files panel. So always use line mode for added/deleted files by
default, even if the useHunkModeInStagingView user config is on.
Not because it's terribly important to test here (doesn't hurt though), but
because it will be useful in the next commit for a new test we're adding there.
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.
These are very similar in that they call RunAndProcessLines on a git log command
and then process lines to create commits. Extract this into a common helper
function. At the moment this doesn't gain us much, but in the next commit we
will extend this helper function considerably with filter path logic, which
would otherwise have to be duplicated in both places.
It is good practice to use a -- argument even if no further arguments follow.
Doesn't really make a difference for this particular command though, I think.
I don't know why this function argument was added, but I don't like unnecessary
indirections, so I'm removing it as SubCommitsHelper has access to everything it
needs to do it itself.
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.
Using the filtered one is probably not a good idea. It didn't do much harm
because the split of ReflogCommits and FilteredReflogCommits doesn't really work
right now (FilteredReflogCommits is always the same as ReflogCommits, even in
filtering mode), but we'll fix this in the next commit.
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.
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.
This was not a good idea, and it seems it has never been tested: the --name-only
and -z options don't work well together. Specifically, -z seems to simply cancel
--name-only.
This is not enough to make it work, we'll need more fixes in the next commit.
This reverts commit 50044dd5e0.
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.
Since filtering switches to half-screen mode in the local commits panel, most
people probably didn't notice, but we do also filter those other views. So when
leaving half-screen mode (but not filtering), you could switch to sub-commits or
stashes, and those would show the filtered view only after the next refresh
(e.g. after a background fetch). It's worse when leaving filtering, because this
goes back to normal screen mode, and you would often see an empty stashes panel
after that (until the next background fetch), which is quite confusing.
I also find it questionable to always switch focus to the commits panel when
entering filtering. If it is initiated from subcommits, reflog, or stashes,
maybe we want to stay there. I'm not changing this now since I'm unsure how much
people rely on the current behavior.
When exiting filtering mode while the focus is not in the local commits panel,
the call to HandleFocus would render the selection in the commits panel as if
the panel had the focus.
The call to HandleFocus was introduced recently in 4981419ba9 in an attempt to
rerender the main view correctly, but it should only have been called when local
commits is the focused context. But instead, we can use PostRefreshUpdate, which
handles this distinction.
We forgot to convert the model indices to view indices in searchModelCommits.
This needs to be done for search results to be highlighted correctly in the
"divergence from upstream" view, which adds "--- Remote/Local ---" entries, and
during a rebase, where we have "--- Pending rebase todos ---" and "--- Commits
---" which offset view indices from model indices.
I have seen cases where during a rebase (two nonModelItems) all entries in
viewIndicesByModelIndex beyond the second nonModelItem were off by 4 rather than
2 as I would expect. The only explanation I have for this is that the function
was called concurrently.
Improve this by working on a local variable and only assign to self at the end;
this is not a real fix for the concurrency issue of course, but it makes it much
less likely to be a problem in practice.
This doesn't change behavior, just makes the code a little bit easier to
understand: the outermost condition is "do we show a popup and is the mouse
event for some other view than the focused one". Only if that's true do we need
to define the isCommitMessageView function, and check whether both views belong
to the commit message editor.
Previously a click was detected as a double-click whenever the click was on the
already selected line, regardless of how long ago the last click was (or even
when it wasn't selected by clicking at all). Now that gocui supports proper
double-click detection, we can do better.
The rationale for this is the same as in the previous commit; however, for these
functions we only allow a single controller to set them, because they are event
handlers and it doesn't make sense for multiple controllers to handle them.
Trying to do this would previously have the second one silently overwrite the
first one's.
We don't currently have this in lazygit, but I ran into the situation once
during development, and it can lead to bugs that are hard to diagnose.
Instead of holding a list of functions, we could also have added a panic in case
the function was set already; this would have been good enough for the current
state, and enough to catch mistakes early in the future. However, I decided to
allow multiple controllers to attach these functions, because I can't see a
reason not to.
These are never called on the context, they only exist to satisfy the
HasKeybindings interface. But that's wrong, HasKeybindings has nothing to do
with focus handling or rendering the main view. Remove them from that interface
and add them to IController instead.
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).
When toggling the value in the UI we simply overwrite the value in UserConfig;
this would be bad if there was ever a chance that we want to write the user
config back to disk, but it is very unlikely that we can do that, because
currently we have no way to tell which parts of the config come from the global
config file and which ones come from a repo-local one.
The version choice is a little arbitrary, but see discussion at
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/pull/4559#issuecomment-2876201680.
The main reason why I'm updating the version now is that versions before 2.27
had a bug with branch sorting, where sorting by -committerdate (which will be
our default soon) would sort branches that point at the same commit in reverse
alphabetical order rather than alphabetical order. While this is only slightly
annoying but not a huge deal for users, it makes maintaining our integration
tests across versions very hard. So I wanted to update to at least 2.27 to get
around this problem, and went with 2.32 after the discussion linked to above.
The choice of which versions to run integration tests on is pretty arbitrary
too, I just picked some at random which are about 5 to 6 minor versions apart.
It's a very common pattern in the code base to have some code that we want to
run either directly, or with a confirmation, depending on some condition. In
most cases this is solved by creating a local helper function that we call
either directly or from within the HandleConfirm of the confirmation; provide a
convenience helper that makes this easier.
These were found by commenting out the initialization of the struct literal in
EnglishTranslationSet.TranslationSet(), and then running
$ punused pkg/i18n/**/*.go
Punused can be installed with `go install github.com/bep/punused@latest`.
The code was copied from StagingController in 0496e3af50, and I did add the new
text in that commit, I just forgot to adapt the code to actually use it.
If the hunk to be selected was partially scrolled offscreen, the view wouldn't
scroll enough to make it completely visible (the last line of the hunk was still
offscreen).
This is only a minimal fix for a pressing problem. The code to handle scrolling
after selection changes has lots of problems, and is also inconsistent between
list views and the patch explorer, but cleaning this up needs more time than I
have right now.
We only want to do this when the function is called from the remote branches
panel. It can also be called with a selection of local branches in order to
delete their remote branches, but in this case the selection shouldn't be
collapsed because the local branches stay around.
We had code already that was supposed to do this, but it didn't work. It should
have used SetSelection() instead of SetSelectedLineIdx(); the latter doesn't
actually cancel a range selection.
Introduce a new function specifically for collapsing the range after deleting
multiple items, so that clients don't need two calls (we'll add a bunch more in
this 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.
This improves the experience when selecting a hunk generously with the mouse, by
dragging over it including some context lines above and below. Previously we
would consider the "moving end" of the selection range for whether things need
to be added or removed, but this doesn't make sense if it's a context line. Now
we consider the first actual change line that is included in the range.
It is confusing to get header lines, hunk headers, or context lines rendered as
being included in a custom patch, when including these makes no difference to
the patch.
This is only a visual change; internally, we still record these non-patch lines
as being included in the patch. It doesn't matter though; you can press space on
a header line and nothing happens.
It would probably be cleaner to only record + and - lines in the includedLines
array, but that would be a bit more work, and doesn't seem worth it.
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.
For the case of creating a new branch by moving commits to it, we were using the
current (old) branch name in the stash name; change this to use the new name
instead.
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.
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.
This was added after this PR comment:
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/pull/3276#discussion_r1469077611
> Can we do a refresh after this reset so that the screen shows that the patch

I don't understand what "cancel on the next popup" means; there is no further
popup after this code.
I took the set of enabled checks from revive's recommended configuration [1],
and removed some that I didn't like. There might be other useful checks in
revive that we might want to enable, but this is a nice improvement already.
The bulk of the changes here are removing unnecessary else statements after
returns, but there are a few others too.

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.
This would crash with an index-out-of-range error.
I double-checked that all other callers of PrepareInteractiveRebaseCommand
already call getBaseHashOrRoot, so this was the only one that was broken.
I decided not to add a test for this as the scenario is not a very common one.
Instead, pass the entire Mutexes struct by pointer to controllers.
This is better because Mutexes now has a zero value and doesn't need to be
initialized.
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.

Also adds a test demonstrating that the stash show behavior is now fixed
Previously we would call pullFiles() from the pick() handler if we were not in a
rebase, assuming that the default keybinding for both is "p". This needn't be
the case of course, if the user has remapped one or the other.
The consequence of this was that swapping the keybindings for "pullFiles" and
"pushFiles" would work in all panels except the Commits panel (unless "pick" was
also remapped in the same way).
Fix this by using the new AllowFurtherDispatching mechanism of DisabledReasons
to pass the keybinding on to the next handler.
If a DisabledReason has its AllowFurtherDispatching flag set, it is returned as
a ErrKeybindingNotHandled error, instead of shown as a toast right away. This
allows gocui to continue to dispatch the keybinding, and we can unwrap the error
at the other end (in our global ErrorHandler) and display it then.
This allows having keybindings for the same key at the local and global levels,
and they will continue to be dispatched even if the first one returns a
DisabledReason. It is opt-in, so we only use it for cases where we know that a
local and a global handler share the same (default) keybinding.
There was no reason to declare a variable for disabledReason, assign it inside
the "if binding.GetDisabledReason != nil" statement, and then check its value
again after that if statement. Move all that code inside the first if statement
to make the control flow easier to understand.
Adaptions are for this gocui commit:
Cleanup: remove Is* error functions
- Use errors.Is instead of quality comparisons. This is better because it
matches wrapped errors as well, which we will need later in this branch.
- Inline the errors.Is calls at the call sites. This is idiomatic go, we don't
need helper functions for this.
See https://go.dev/blog/go1.13-errors for more about this.
When switching between repos, each repo might have a different focused panel; in
this case, the previously focused panel would show the "inactive" highlight. By
default this is only bold text, so it's barely noticeable, but it becomes more
pronounced when setting e.g.
gui:
theme:
inactiveViewSelectedLineBgColor:
- "#666666"
I noticed this especially when entering or leaving submodules; for example,
enter a submodule by pressing enter in the Files panel, then switch to the
Commits panel in the submodule, then press Esc to go back to the parent repo.
This would put the focus back into the Files panel, but keep the inactive
highlight in the Commits panel.
In the unlikely scenario that you have a remote branch on `origin` called
`foo`, and a local tag called `origin/foo`, git changes the behavior of
the previous command such that it produces
```
$ git for-each-ref --sort=refname --format=%(refname:short) refs/remotes
origin/branch1
remotes/origin/foo
```
with `remotes/` prepended. Presumably this is to disambiguate it from
the local tag `origin/foo`. Unfortunately, this breaks the existing
behavior of this function, so the remote branch is never shown.
By changing the command, we now get
```
$ git for-each-ref --sort=refname --format=%(refname) refs/remotes
refs/remotes/origin/branch1
refs/remotes/origin/foo
```
This allows easy parsing based on the `/`, and none of the code outside
this function has to change.
----
We previously were not showing remote HEADs for modern git versions
based on how they were formatted from "%(refname:short)".
We have decided that this is a feature, not a bug, so we are building
that into the code here.
Moving the getter of the suggested branch name to a separate function
allows us to reuse it in situations where we are not calling the regular
create new branch function, such as move commits to a new branch

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.
Previously we would enter a newline at the password prompt, which would cause
the fetch to fail. The problem with this was that if you have many remotes, the
fetch would sometimes hang for some reason; I don't totally understand how that
happened, but I guess the many ssh processes requesting passwords would somehow
interfere with each other. Avoid this by simply killing the git fetch process
the moment it requests the first password.
We will need a user config in the file tree in the next commit, and passing the
entire common is the easiest way to do that while ensuring hot-reloading when
users change the config while lazygit is running.
This is a regression introduced with a199ed1396c; it is important to use a PTY
even with credentialStrategy=FAIL, otherwise the fetch command will spew the
credentials request into the UI and then hang.
This fixes the problem that background fetching makes lazygit hang when the
fetch request needs to prompt for a passphrase. For Mac users who use the
keychain to store their ssh passphrases, this can happen when lazygit is running
while the machine goes to sleep, because macOS looks the keychain in that case.
The click handler of MainViewController was registered as a global handler, so
it was used when a side panel was focused that doesn't have a
SwitchToFocusedMainViewController attached (e.g. Status, Worktrees, or
Submodules). This handler would then push the main view context, but with the
code that is meant only for toggling between the main view pair contexts, i.e.
with taking over the parentContext from the otherContext, which doesn't have one
at that point. This would later lead to a crash in onClick because the
parentContext was nil.
Fix this by splitting the click handler in two, one for when it already has the
focus, and one for toggling from the other view, and make these focus specific.
Previously we would re-render the focused main view several times during a
refresh, once for every side panel. While this should usually not be noticeable
for users because we are careful to avoid flicker when refreshing the main view,
this would sometimes lead to the main view scrolling up to the top by itself;
see PR description for more details.
This is for the unlikely case that a repo-local config file can't be written
back after migration; in this case we can't log the migration changes to the
console, so include them in the error popup instead.
This might be useful to see in general (users will normally only see it after
they quit lazygit again, but still). But it is especially useful when writing
back the config file fails for some reason, because users can then make these
changes manually if they want.
We do this only at startup, when the GUI hasn't started yet. This is probably
good enough, because it is much less likely that writing back a migrated
repo-local config fails because it is not writeable.
Most migrations happen at startup when loading the global config file, at a time
where the GUI hasn't been initialized yet. We can safely print to the console at
that point. However, it is also possible that repo-local config files need to be
migrated, and this happens when the GUI has already started, at which point we
had better not print anything to stdout; this totally messes up the UI.
In this commit we simply suppress the logging when the GUI is running already.
This is probably good enough, because the logging is mostly useful in the case
that writing back the migrated config file fails, so that users understand
better why lazygit doesn't start up; and this is very unlikely to happen for
repo-local config files, because why would users make them read-only.
It's a bit silly to find out by string comparison whether computeMigratedConfig
did something, when it knows this already and can just return the information.
This doesn't make a huge difference to the production code; the string
comparison isn't very expensive, so this isn't a big deal. However, it makes the
tests clearer; we don't have to bother specifying an expected output string if
the didChange flag is false, and in particular we can get rid of the ugly "This
test intentionally uses non-standard indentation" bit in one of the tests.
I'm not aware of any real scenario where this can happen, but we have seen one
stack trace where it crashed with an out-of-bounds error in the range expression
below, so there must be a way. And it seems better to guard against it anyway,
rather than assuming it can't happen.
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.
In one case it was actually called *before* making a commit (when switching from
the commit message panel to committing in the editor). And clearing the
preserved message is the only thing it does, so name it after what it does
rather than when it's called.
Previously it would only clear the message if the panel had been opened with
preserveMessage=true; we don't need this check, because callers know how they
opened the panel, and whether they want to clear the message.
This is no change in behavior because OnCommitSuccess only clears the message
when the commit message panel was opened with preserveMessage=true, which it
isn't in the case of creating a tag.
And this is in fact the desired behavior, because we don't want creating a tag
to interfere with preserving commit messages in any way.
The default binding for ConfirmInEditor is <a-enter>, which has two problems:
- some terminal emulators don't support it, including the default terminal on
Mac (Terminal.app)
- on Windows it is bound to toggling full-screen
Ideally we would use <c-enter> instead (and Command-Enter on Mac), but neither
is possible without https://github.com/gdamore/tcell/issues/671, so for the time
being add an alternate keybinding which works everywhere.
Show both bindings in the footer of the commit description panel if they are
both non-null. While we're at it, fix the footer for the case where either or
both of the keybindings are set to <disabled>.
And finally, change "commit" to "submit" in that footer; we use the same panel
also for creating tags, in which case "commit" is not quite right.
It's never called, the binding ListController.HandleGotoBottom wins.
The functionality of loading more commits is implemented by GetOnFocus, and this
way it works not only for '>', but also for other navigation keys like page
down.
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 decouples StreamOutput from whether a PTY is used. In most cases we just
want to see the output in the log window, but don't have to use a PTY, e.g. for
the bisect commands.
This has the implication that custom commands that are using "stream: true" no
longer use a PTY. In most cases that's probably a good thing, but we're going to
add a separate pty config for those who really wanted this.
Hopefully, graphs will never get wider than 32768 characters. (They would get
kind of hard to navigate if they did...)
This reduces the size of the Pipe struct from 48 to 32 bytes, which makes a
significant difference when there are many millions of instances.
This saves some memory at the cost of a slight performance increase (I suppose
reallocting the slice when adding new Pipes is slightly more expensive now).
Performance of the BenchmarkRenderCommitGraph benchmark is 130μs before, 175μs
after. I'm guessing this is still acceptable.
Change the base type of some of our enums from int to uint8, and reorder fields
for better packing. This reduces the size of models.Commit from 152 to 132 bytes
on my machine.
This doesn't improve overall memory usage significantly, but why not save a
little bit of memory if it's easy.
We need to pass %P instead of %p in the format string of the git log command, so
that the parent hashes have the full length and can be shared with the real
hashes.
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.
The "// merge commit" comment was plain wrong, this is any commit that has a
parent, merge or not. The "else if" condition was unnecessary, a plain "else"
would have been enough. But the code in the two blocks was almost identical, so
extract the one thing that was different and unify it.
And while we're at it, use IsFirstCommit() instead of counting parents.
This makes it easier to copy diff hunks and paste them into code. We only strip
the prefixes if the copied lines are either all '+' or all '-' (possibly
including context lines), otherwise we keep them. We also keep them when parts
of a hunk header is included in the selection; this is useful for copying a diff
hunk and pasting it into a github comment, for example.
A not-quite-correct edge case is when you select the '--- a/file.txt' line of a
diff header on its own; in this case we copy it as '-- a/file.txt' (same for the
'+++' line). This is probably uncommon enough that it's not worth fixing (it's
not trivial to fix because we don't know that we're in a header).
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.
This is very similar to what we are doing for staging or discarding hunks in the
Files panel. Git doesn't allow applying patches with a zero context size (unless
you use the --unidiff-zero option, which is discouraged).
Fish shell does not support "&&" and "||" operators like
POSIX-compatible shells. Instead, it uses a different syntax structure
based on begin/end and if/else.
This caused existing lazygit nvim-remote integration templates to break
when fish was the user's default shell.
This commit adds explicit fish shell detection using the FISH_VERSION
environment variable, and provides fish-compatible templates that
correctly handle launching Neovim or sending remote commands via $NVIM.
Fixes behavior where edits would not open in a new Neovim tab or line
navigation would fail when $NVIM was set.
Ensures smoother editing experience for users running fish shell
(supported since Nov 2012 with FISH_VERSION).
The long story: I want to call this function from RefsHelper; however, I can't
make WorkingTreeHelper a field of RefsHelper because RefsHelper is already a
field in WorkingTreeHelper, so that would be a circular dependency.
The shorter story: there's really little reason to have to instantiate a helper
object in order to call a simple function like this. Long term I would like to
get to a state where a lot more of these helper functions are free-standing, and
you pass in the data they need.
While at it, simplify the implementation of AnyStagedFiles and AnyTrackedFiles
to one-liners.
It's the same, really, except that GetCheckedOutRef() does a check if any
branches exist and returns nil if not. Since we are accessing the returned
branch unconditionally without checking for nil, it seems this check is not
needed here. (The functions we are touching here are called from handlers that
are guarded with itemSelected or singleItemSelected, so we know that at least
one branch exists.)
The goal is to get rid of the dependency to refsHelper.
And only while the task is running.
This avoids accumulating lots of blocked goroutines when scrolling a view down
more than 1024 times (the capacity of the readLines channel).
In this commit this is only possible by pressing '0' in a side panel; we'll add
mouse clicking later in the branch.
Also, you can't really do anything in the focused view except press escape to
leave it again. We'll add some more functionality in a following commit.
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.
Previously we would create new Commit objects to store in the CherryPicking mode
which only contained a name and hash, all other fields were unset. I'm not sure
why we did this; it's easier to just reference the original commits. Later on
this branch we will need this because we need to determine whether a copied
commit was a merge commit (by looking at its Parents field).
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.
MergeRebasingCommits already merges the rebasing commits into the commits slice
that is passed in, so it doesn't make sense to append the result to commits
again. It isn't a problem, but only because commits is always empty.
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.
This is equivalent in the current state of the code, but it will no longer be
after the next commit, because we will introduce a new status value
StatusConflicted. And in a later PR we might add yet another value
StatusCherryPicking to distinguish rebase todos from cherry-pick todos; using
commit.IsTODO is a safer way to check whether a commit is any of these.
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.
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.
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.
- Remove REBASE_MODE_NORMAL. It is not the "normal" mode anyway, rather a legacy
mode; we have removed support for it in eb0f7e3d02, so there's no point in
representing it in the enum.
- Remove distinction between REBASE_MODE_REBASING and REBASE_MODE_INTERACTIVE;
these are the same now.
- Rename StatusCommands.IsInInteractiveRebase to IsInRebase.
- Remove StatusCommands.RebaseMode; use StatusCommands.IsInRebase instead.
All test cases set it to enums.REBASE_MODE_NONE, so we can simplify things a
little bit by hard-coding that. This makes the changes in the following commits
a little easier.
When debugging an integration test that involves some behind-the-scenes
rebasing, the daemon lazygit would also wait for a debugger to attach. This is
very confusing because the test seems to hang; once you figured out what's going
on, it's inconvenient because you need to attach a debugger to the daemon every
time you debug the test.
Now, it would sometimes be useful to be able to debug the daemon itself (whether
inside an integration test, or during normal usage), and I have often wished to
be able to do that. We might introduce an additional env var (and command-line
option?) to enable this; but that's out of scope here.
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).
It is shown either when committing with `w`, or when typing the skipHooks prefix
if there is one. This should hopefully make it clearer when the hooks are run
and when they are not.
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\"" }}/'
```
For the less common conflict types DD, AU, UA, DU, and UD, we would previously
only show "* Unmerged path" in the main view, which isn't helpful. Also, for
some of these we would split the main view and show this text both in the
unstaged changes and staged changes views, which is a bit embarrassing.
Improve this by offering more explanation about what's going on, and what the
most likely way to resolve the situation is for each case.
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.
I can only guess here: maybe they were added to more clearly document the public
interface of the classes? If so, I don't think that works. Developers who are
not familiar with the convention will just add a new public method to the class
without updating the interface.
Apparently this was an attempt at working around go's lack of default arguments,
but it's very unidiomatic and a bit confusing. Make it a normal parameter
instead, so all clients have to pass it explicitly.
There is a section at the end with deprecated settings, and a comment saying
"The following configs are all deprecated". The clipboard-related settings were
accidentally added to that section; they are not deprecated, so move them up to
before that section.
The current rules for discarding submodule changes is that no other changed item
must be also selected. There are some bugs with the current implementation when
submodules are in folders.
For example, selecting and discarding a folder with only a nested submodule
change will currently do nothing. The submodule changes should be discarded. The
folder only contains submodule changes so it should be no different than
pressing discard on the submodule entry itself.
Also, I noticed range selecting both the folder and the submodule and then
pressing discard would be incorrectly disallowed.
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.
In 8b8343b8a9 we made a change to run newPtyTask from AfterLayout; this is
needed so that the PTY gets the new, updated view size. However, this created a
race condition for integration tests that select a line in a list view and then
expect the main view to have certain content; sometimes that content gets
rendered too late.
I'm surprised that this didn't cause more tests to fail; right now I only know
of one test that occasionally fails because of this, which is stash/rename.go.
Fix this by moving the AfterLayout to inside newPtyTask, and do it only when we
are actually using a PTY (we don't when no pager is configured, which is the
case for integration tests).
The diff is best viewed with "ignore whitespace" turned on.
The test shows a misbehavior: even though the diff shows "-one" and "+three",
meaning that "three" is the state we want to check out, we get "one". The reason
is that the checkout file command doesn't pay attention to range selections, it
only looks at the "moving end" of the range. Had we created the range by
selecting "two" and then pressed shift-up to "three", we would have gotten the
expected result.
The actual usage is case insensitive, so this doesn't actually matter.
But if fills my heart with joy.
The test is case sensitive, but the actual response to `git config
commit.gpgSign` is equivalent to `git config commit.gppsign`
It's not an ideal solution because there's no indication of what kind of objects
you can add to those maps or arrays, but at least they show up at all (with a
comment containing a link to more information), and that's already an
improvement.
Add verify flag
Add and update integration tests
Rename verify to forceSkipHooks
Adapt CommitSkipHooks integration test to actually use a hook
Remove forceSkipHooks param from OnConfirm et al
Simplify tests
Assert the entire lines using Equals instead of Contains. This makes the tests a
bit easier to read, and it makes it much easier to decide how they need to be
changed when we change the layout (like we do in the last commit of this
branch).
It is true that this requires changing all these tests for any future UI
changes, but I think this is a good price to pay; those adaptions are trivial
and can be done without thinking.
I'm pretty sure that the check for the main view was meant to be done with the
commit selected in the commits panel, not with the first file of the commit
files view selected, so it was pressing enter too early. It's pure coincidence
that the test worked.
This is useful for copying the entire content of the selected file as it was at
the selected commit.
We only add it to the commit files panel; it is not needed in the files panel,
because there you can simply press "e" to edit the file.
This allows changing git config values while lazygit is running (e.g. in a
different terminal tab, or even in lazygit's ":" shell prompt), and have them
take effect immediately, while still getting some benefit from caching them
while lazygit is in the foreground.
Before we changed the commitPrefix config to a list in #4261, we had this bug
where the defaults section in Config.md would erroneously list the default for
commitPrefix as
git:
commitPrefix:
pattern: ""
replace: ""
This was not correct, commitPrefix was a pointer, and the default for that was
nil, which is not the same.
Now, some people copied and pasted the entire defaults section into their config
files, setting the commitPrefix to an empty pattern (which is not the same as
not setting it at all). And this caused the branch name to be filled in to the
subject field for every commit; see for example
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/discussions/3632.
New users copying the defaults section into their config file in the current
version no longer have this problem because now that commitPrefix is a list, it
is no longer included in the defaults section. However, the migration that we
added in #4261 would happily carry over those empty strings into a list entry,
so people migrating from an older version still have the broken config in their
config files.
To work around the issue, ignore commit prefix settings whose pattern is an
empty string. I can't imagine a valid reason why people would actually want to
set the pattern to an empty string, so I assume this only comes from the broken
defaults problem described above.
Some operating systems 'open' implementations do not like
when some special characters are unencoded, so they will
double-enconde the branch name, which we already encode.
This particularly matters since branch names with / are common
Rewording a commit at the beginning of a long branch can take very long;
without this change, the commit message panel would stay visible with a blinking
cursor during that time, which is very confusing.
This has the slight downside that it will say "Rebasing" in the lower right
corner until the operation is done; but we already have this problem when doing
custom patch operations, or dropping changes from a commit, so it's not new, and
we can think about how to fix all these another time.
WithGpgHandling already does an async refresh when done, so there's no need to
do one here for the case of amending the head commit. On top of that,
WithGpgHandling uses WithWaitingStatus and works in the background, so the
Refresh here would come too early anyway.
All this does is clear the preserved commit message; however, we open the commit
message panel with PreserveMessage: false when rewording, so this is not
necessary.
For some reason the //nolint:golint,unused comment no longer seems to work after
I updated gopls (I think).
But I also don't understand why we mark unused stuff with linter comments
instead of just getting rid of it.
Previously we only filtered them out from the example config section in
Config.md, but they still appeared in the schema. This is not ideal, because the
schema descriptions can appear in editors on mouse hover or in auto-completions.
So filter them out earlier, so that they don't appear in the schema either.
Some people have post-checkout hooks that take a lot of time, which makes
discarding changes slow. You can argue that a post-checkout hook should only run
when you switch branches, so it doesnt't have to run when checking out single
files or directories. You can also argue that lazygit might have implemented
discarding changes by taking the current patch and applying it in reverse, which
wouldn't have run a post-checkout hook either.
So disable them for all cases where we use git checkout with a path; this
includes checking out a file from the commit files view.
This seems to be what most people use when indenting yaml files, and it seems to
make more sense than the default of 4.
We also use it the example config in Config.md.
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.
This is very similar to the same menu in the Files panel, except that it works
on whatever diff is currently shown in the main view, including range diffs
either in diffing mode (shift-W), or from a range selection of commits.
Change our fake clipboard command to not append a linefeed; that's closer to
what the production code does.
This allows us to use Equals instead of Contains for checking the clipboard
contents.
Finally, use FileSystem().FileContent() to assert the clipboard contents,
instead of selecting the clipboard file and then checking the diff view.
This may lead to unrelated processes being killed on Windows (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues/3008). Imagine:
1. lazygit is started and runs git diff in process X which completes immediately and exits.
2. lazygit is left in the background for several hours by which process X pid is reused by an unrelated process.
3. lazygit is focused back on and runs another git diff. It first runs this stop logic which will kill process X and its children.
Previously the schema only allowed a single value; however, it is now possible
to specify multiple values separated by comma, and you would get very ugly red
error squiggles in VS Code when you did that.
The only solution that I can see is to get rid of the "enum" specification, and
mention the valid values only in the description. Add examples too so that you
get at least auto-completion.
When pasting a multi-line commit message into the subject field of the commit
editor, we would interpret the first newline as the confirmation for closing the
editor, and then all remaining characters as whatever command they are bound to,
resulting in executing all sorts of arbitrary commands.
Now we recognize this being a paste, and interpret the first newline as moving
to the description.
Also, prevent tabs in the pasted content from switching to the respective other
panel; simply insert four spaces instead, which should be good enough for the
leading indentation in pasted code snippets, for example.
Jesse's comment from https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues/4237:
We recently added a new option to check out a commit's branch from within the
commits, reflog, and sub-commits panels:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0a5cf3f2-6803-4709-ae5a-e4addc061012
After using it for some time, I find it annoying that the default option has
changed. I rarely find myself wanting to check out a branch from the commits
panel, and it's rarer still to want to check out a branch from the reflog and
sub-commits panel. Although there may be use cases for this, it is jarring that
something you can always do (checkout the commit) is harder to do than something
that you can sometimes do (checkout the branch).
We've also had a user complain (see
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/pull/4117) about their muscle-memory
being broken by the recent change, and I have also fallen victim to this. I
don't think that the new branch checkout option is sufficiently useful to
dislodge the existing keybinding, so let's swap them.
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.
I renamed the "Reset filter" item to "No filter" to make it look more like a
state than an action, so that it fits the radio button concept better.
When there are conflicts and we set the filter to show only conflicting files,
then none of the radio buttons light up, which is slightly strange. I guess it's
ok though.
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.
Git diff and patch doesn't work reliably with a context size of 0, so disable it
in this case (and discarding changes as well). Magit does the same, see
https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/4222.
Staging entire files by pressing space in the Files panel is still possible, of
course.
This was recently introduced, but it was done the wrong way.
WithWaitingStatusSync should only be called from the main thread, and it is
meant to be used for updating the bottom line while the UI is blocked. It is a
bad idea to call this from a background thread, and it results in ugly flicker
(occasionally).
Use the newly extracted WithWaitingStatusImpl instead, this is the same as
WithWaitingStatus (which is exactly what we need) but without the implicit
OnWorker, which we don't want because we are on a background thread already.
This shows a status as if the user had typed 'f' manually in the files panel.
I want this particularly for the first fetch after startup. There are often
situations where I need to wait for this first background fetch to be done
before I can do what I want (e.g. rebase my branch onto its base branch, or
check out a branch that my coworker has told me they just pushed), but currently
it's hard to tell when that is.
For every subsequent background fetch after the first one it is less important,
but it hopefully doesn't hurt, and it might be nice to have some visual
indication that background activity is happening.
As far as I can tell, this is not needed. The call to Refresh at the end of
backgroundFetch takes care of redrawing after refreshing.
The call was added in 2fc1498517, that's a long time ago, and we had multiple
big refactorings since then. Maybe it was needed back then but no longer is
today.
It has fields .To and .From (the hashes of the last and the first selected
commits, respectively), and it is useful for creating git commands that act on a
range of commits.
When pushing a branch that didn't have an upstream yet, we use the command line
git push --set-upstream origin HEAD:branch-name
The HEAD: part of this is too unspecific; when checking out a different branch
while the push is still running, then git will set the upstream branch on the
newly checked out branch, not the branch that was being pushed. This might be
considered a bug in git; you might expect that it resolves HEAD at the beginning
of the operation, and uses the result at the end.
But we can easily work around this by explicitly supplying the real branch name
instead of HEAD.
For editable views it is important to actually show the blank line so that we
can put the cursor there for typing.
This fixes problems with adding blank lines at the end of longer commit
messages.
We used to automatically color branches starting with "feature/", "bugfix/", or
"hotfix/". For those who don't want this, it's a bit non-obvious to turn off,
but it's actually pretty easy to configure manually for those who want this, so
we just remove this default coloring.
We use an interactive shell so that users can use their custom shell aliases in
lazygit's shell prompt, which is convenient; however, this only really works for
shells like bash or zsh. We know it doesn't work for fish or nushell (because
these use different names for the $? variable); so use an interactive shell only
if the user's shell is either bash or zsh.
There are two ways to jump to the editor on a specific line: pressing `e` in the
staging or patch building panels, or clicking on a hyperlink in a delta diff. In
both cases, this works perfectly in the unstaged changes view, but in other
views (either staged changes, or an older commit) it can often jump to the wrong
line; this happens when there are further changes to the file being viewed in
later commits or in unstaged changes.
This commit fixes this so that you end up on the right line in these cases.
When pressing `e` on line 5 in a diff of an older commit, we expect it to take
us to line 5 in that file. But we end up on line 2, because the file had further
changes both in newer commits, and in the unstaged changes of the working copy.
This updates gocui to include https://github.com/jesseduffield/gocui/pull/68 and
https://github.com/jesseduffield/gocui/pull/69, which changes views to not have
an extra blank line at the end when content ending in a newline character is
written to them. This makes text views more consistent with list views, which
don't have a blank line after the last list entry either.
The easiest way to do that is to rename the local branch after pushing.
This shows various levels of brokenness for the reset and rebase to upstream
commands: both menu entries display the wrong upstream branch name in the menu
(the local one rather than the remote one); executing the rebase command works
correctly though, the rebase command uses the right branch name. Resetting
fails, though.
We'll fix this in the next commit.
This makes it possible to "silently" disable a keybinding. The effect is the
same as putting the check in the handler and returning nil from there, except
that doing it this way also hides it from the bottom line if DisplayOnScreen is
true.
It should have been half-screen from the get-go. I think I just used
full-screen to make demos look nicer. Now that we have a CLI arg for the
screen mode we can make use of that in the demos.
Introduce a new "screen-mode" command line argument that allows a user
to specify which screen mode (normal, half or full) Lazygit should use
when it runs.
This argument will take precedence over a default Window Size specified
in user config.
When the user checks out a commit which has a local branch ref attached
to it, they can select between checking out the branch or checking out
the commit as detached head.
In 5a3049485c we changed the execution of shell commands to use an interactive
shell (-i), because this allows users to use aliases or shell functions, which
is a nice convenience.
Since then, however, many users have reported problems with lazygit not coming
back to the foreground after executing a shell command. Some users report that
appending "; exit" to the end of the command line solves this. I don't really
understand what the cause of this problem was, or why appending "; exit" solves
it, but if it helps, let's do it.
Sometimes we populate the commit message panel with a pre-created commit
message. The two cases where this happens is:
- you type `w` to commit, in which case we put the skipHookPrefix in the subject
- you have a commitPrefix pattern, in which case we match it against the branch
name and populate the subject with the replacement string if it matches
In either case, if you have a preserved commit message, we use that.
Now, when you use either of these and then cancel, we preserve that initial,
unchanged message and reuse it the next time you commit. This has two problems:
it strips spaces, which is a problem for the commitPrefix patterns, which often
end with a space. And also, when you change your config to experiment with
commitPrefix patterns, the change seemingly doesn't take effect, which can be
very confusing.
To fix both of these problems, only preserve the commit message when it is not
identical to the initial message.
This makes it so that when the staging view is resized, we keep the same patch
line selected (as opposed to the same view line, which may correspond to a
different patch line after resizing). It doesn't seem like a terribly important
feature for resizing the window, but it is essential when initially entering the
staging view: we select the first line of the first hunk in this case, but we do
that before layout runs. At layout time the view is then split into
unstaged/staged changes, and if this split is horizontal, the view gets narrower
and may be wrapped in a different way. With this commit we ensure that the first
line of the first hunk is still selected after that.
So far, lines in the view corresponded 1:1 to lines in the patch. Once we turn
on wrapping for the staging view (which we don't do yet), this is no longer
true, so we need to convert from view lines to patch lines or vice versa all
over the place.
This doesn't improve the code much in the current state, but we'll add some more
code to this helper function in the next commit, which makes it worth it.
We haven't needed this before since we were only using the function for text in
confirmations and menus, which is unlikely to contain tabs. We are going to use
it for patches in the staging view though, which often do.
to make it more generally usable by clients other than ConfirmationHelper, which
we will do later in this branch. Rename it to WrapViewLinesToWidth while we're
at it.
Add tests; in particular, add a sanity check that we wrap lines the same way as
gocui does. The tests that are added here are the same ones as in gocui for its
lineWrap function, but we'll extend them a bit in later commits in this branch.
This is also what we do in the staging controller, and it makes it so that when
you exit the patch building view and then enter it again (for another file, or
the same one) we select the first hunk again.
The test demonstrates that the behavior is undesirable right now: we move the
commit only past the update-ref todo of branch1, which means the order of
commits stays the same and only the branch head icon moves up by one. However,
we move the selection down by one, so the wrong commit is selected now. This is
especially bad if you type a bunch of ctrl-j quickly in a row, because now you
are moving the wrong commit.
There are two possible ways to fix this:
1) keep the moving behavior the same, but don't change the selection
2) change the behavior so that we move the commit not only past the update-ref,
but also past the next real commit.
You could argue that 1) is the more desirable fix, as it gives you more control
over where exactly the moved commit goes; however, it is much trickier to
implement, so we go with 2) for now (and that's what the commented-out
"EXPECTED" section documents here). If users need more fine-grained control,
they can always enter an interactive rebase first.
For non-merge commits we change "pick" to "drop" when we delete them. We do this
so that we can use the same code for dropping a commit no matter whether we are
in an interactive rebase or not. (If we aren't, we could just as well delete the
pick line from the todo list instead of setting it to "drop", but if we are, it
is better to keep the line around so that the user can change it back to "pick"
if they change their mind.)
However, merge commits can't be changed to "drop", so we have to delete them
from the todo file. We add a new daemon instruction that does this.
We still don't allow deleting a merge commit from within an interactive rebase.
The reason is that we don't show the "label" and "reset" todos in lazygit, so
deleting a merge commit would leave the commits from the branch that is being
merged in the list as "pick" commits, with no indication that they are going to
be dropped because they are on a different branch, and the merge commit that
would have brought them in is gone. This could be very confusing.
One of the comments we are deleting here said:
// Comparing just the hash is not enough; we need to compare both the
// action and the hash, as the hash could appear multiple times (e.g. in a
// pick and later in a merge).
I don't remember what I was thinking when I wrote this code, but it's nonsense
of course. Maybe I was thinking that the hash that appears in a "merge" todo
would be the hash of the commit that is being merged in (which would then
actually appear in an earlier pick), but it isn't, it's the hash of the merge
commit itself (so that the rebase can reuse its commit message). Which means
that hashes are unique, no need to compare the action.
So far it didn't have to handle the case where one hash is empty and the other
isn't, but in the next commit we need that, so let's handle that case correctly.
There's enough logic in the function now that it's worth covering it with tests.
Not much of a change in behavior, because moving merge commits was already not
possible. However, it failed with a cryptic error message ("Todo fa1afe1 not
found in git-rebase-todo"), so disable it properly instead.
When enabled, it adds "+n -m" after each file in the Files panel to show how
many lines were added and deleted, as with `git diff --numstat` on the command
line.
Opening links containing ampersands inside lazygit (a pull-request
creation page in BitBucket Server, for instance) returns the following
Powershell error:
> The ampersand (&) character is not allowed. The & operator is reserved
> for future use; wrap an ampersand in double quotation marks ("&") to
> pass it as part of a string.
We fix it by enclosing the URL in single quotes.
The OS command to open file in explorer in WSL doesn't currently work as
expected; it always opens the file explorer at the default opening
location. This is because the {{filename}} variable returns the path in
WSL format, and not in the format expected by Windows.
We use wslpath, a utility shipped with WSL, to make the path conversion.
It is needed by both call sites of this function. This has the added benefit
that the argument doesn't unnecessarily show up in the status view when diffing
mode is on.
In 67b8ef449c we changed the "edit" command to insert a "break" after the
selected commit, rather than setting the selected todo to "edit". The reason for
doing this was that it now works for merge commits too.
Back then, I claimed "In most cases the behavior is exactly the same as before."
Unfortunately that's not true, there are two reasons why the previous behavior
was better (both are demonstrated by tests earlier in this branch):
- when editing the last commit of a branch in the middle of a stack of branches,
we are now missing the update-ref todo after it, which means that amending the
commit breaks the stack
- it breaks auto-amending (see the added test earlier in this branch for an
explanation)
For these reasons, we are going back to the previous approach of setting the
selected commit to "edit" whenever possible, i.e. unless it's a merge commit.
The only scenario where this could still be a problem is when you have a stack
of branches, and the last commit of one of the branches in the stack is a merge
commit, and you try to edit that. In my experience with stacked branches this is
very unlikely, in almost all cases my stacked branches are linear.
We will need this because under some conditions we are going to use this
function to edit a range of commits, and we can't set merge commits to "edit".
This corresponds to the code in startInteractiveRebaseWithEdit which has similar
logic.
It is a bit unfortunate that we will have these two different ways of setting
todos to edit: startInteractiveRebaseWithEdit does it after stopping in the
rebase, in the Then function of its refresh, but InteractiveRebase does it in
the daemon with a ChangeTodoActionsInstruction. It still makes sense though,
given how InteractiveRebase works.
This not only affects "edit", but also "drop", "fixup", and "squash".
Previously, when trying to use these for a range selection that includes a merge
commit, they would fail with the cryptic error message "Some todos not found in
git-rebase-todo"; now they simply exclude the merge commit. I'm not sure if one
is better or worse than the other, and we should probably simply disable the
commands when a merge commit is selected, but that's out of scope in this PR.
This is very similar to edit_range_select_outside_rebase.go, except that it
selects commits right after, and including, a merge commit.
This test already works correctly. The reason we add it is that we are going to
have two different implementations of the `e` command depending on whether the
last selected commit is a merge commit, and we want to make sure they both work
with a range selection.
Auto-amending is a little-known feature of git that is very convenient once you
know it: whenever you stop at a commit marked with `edit` in an interactive
rebase, you can make changes and stage them, and when you continue the rebase
they automatically get amended to the commit you had stopped at. This is so
convenient because making changes to a commit is one of the main reasons why you
edit a commit.
Unfortunately this currently doesn't work in lazygit because we don't actually
use `edit` to stop at the first commit (instead, we add a `break` todo after it,
which doesn't have the auto-amend functionality).
We'll improve this later in this branch.
We allow deleting remote branches (or local and remote branches) only if *all*
selected branches have one.
We show the a warning about force-deleting as soon as at least one of the
selected branches is not fully merged.
The added test only tests a few of the most interesting cases; I didn't try to
cover the whole space of possible combinations, that would have been too much.
Since we want to select multiselections, this will make it easier to pass a
slice of remote branches. It does require that for the case of the local
branches panel we need to synthesize a RemoteBranch object from the selected
local branch, but that's not hard.
Mouse wheel scrolling of the custom patch view worked *unless* a file (as
opposed to a directory) is selected in the commit files view. The reason was an
obvious typo in the AttachControllers call.
This code had a lot of logic that (fortunately) didn't work because it was
buggy:
- it was supposed to wait for the auto-fetch delay before fetching for the first
time in case we start with a repo that we had open in a previous session (i.e.
that appears in the recent repos list). This code actually ran always, not
just for known repos, because the IsNewRepo flag is only set later, after this
function runs. Fortunately, the code didn't work, because time.After starts a
timer but doesn't wait for it (to do that, it would have to be
`<-time.After`).
- if the first fetch fails with error 128, it was supposed to show an error
message and not start the background fetch loop. Fortunately, this didn't work
because 1) it was guarded by isNew which is always false here, and 2) because
git's error message in this case is actually "exit code: 128", not "exit
status 128" (maybe this has changed in git at some point).
I find both of these undesirable. Whenever I open a repo I want an auto-fetch to
be triggered immediately to get my branch information up to date as quickly as
possible. And if the initial fetch fails (e.g. because one of my remotes is
offline or doesn't exist any more), then that's no reason not to start the
auto-fetch loop anyway.
So let's simplify the code to do what it did before, but with much fewer lines
of code.
Original commit message of the gocui change:
This fixes View.Size, Width and Height to be the correct (outer) size of a view
including its frame, and InnerSize/InnerWidth/InnerHeight to be the usable
client area exluding the frame. Previously, Size was actually the InnerSize (and
a lot of client code used it as such, so these need to be changed to InnerSize).
InnerSize, on the other hand, was *one* less than Size (not two, as you would
have expected), and in many cases this was made up for at call sites by adding 1
(e.g. in calcRealScrollbarStartEnd, parseInput, and many other places in the
lazygit code).
There are still some weird things left that I didn't address here:
- a view's lower-right coordinates (x1/y1) are one less than you would expect.
For example, a view with a 2x2 client area like this:
╭──╮
│ab│
│cd│
╰──╯
in the top-left corner of the screen (x0 and y0 both zero) has x1/xy at 3, not
4 as would be more natural.
- a view without a frame has its coordinates extended by 1 on all sides; to
illustrate, the same 2x2 view as before but without a frame, sitting in the
top-left corder of the screen, has coordinates x0=-1, y0=-1, x1=2, y1=2. This
is highly confusing and unexpected.
I left these as they are because they would be even more of a breaking change,
and also because they don't have quite as much of an impact on general app code.
When creating a PR against a selected branch (via O = "create pull request
options"), the user will first be asked to select a remote (if there is more
than one). After that, the suggestion area is populated with all remote branches
at that origin - instead of all local ones. After all, creating a PR against a
branch that doesn't exist on the remote won't work.
Please note that for the "PR is not filed against 'origin' remote" use case
(e.g. when contributing via a fork that is 'origin' to a GitHub project that is
'upstream'), the opened URL will not be correct. This is not a regression and
will be fixed in an upcoming PR.
Fixes#1826.
As far as I understand, this was needed back when the staging context was still
responsible for rendering its highlight (as opposed to the gocui view, as it is
today). It was necessary to call it with isFocused=false so that it removed the
highlight. The isFocused bool is no longer used today (and we'll remove it in
the next commit), so there's no need to render the view here any more.
This fixes flickering when leaving the staging view by pressing escape. The
reason is that in this case the patch state was already set to nil by the time
we get here, so we would render an empty view for a brief moment.
On top of that, it fixes unwanted scrolling to the top when leaving the staging
view. The reason for this is that we have code in layout that scrolls views up
if needed, e.g. because the window got taller or the view content got shorter
(added in #3839). This kicked in because we emptied the view, and scrolled it
all the way to the top, which we don't want.
This way it won't scroll to the top; we want this when entering the staging
panel or the patch building panel by clicking into the view, and also when
returning from these views by pressing escape. Note that there's a bug in this
latter case: the focused panel still scrolls to the top when hitting escape, we
will fix this in the next commit.
Change it in the same way for NewRenderStringWithScrollTask, just for
consistency, although it's not really necessary there. We use this function only
for focusing the merge conflict view, and in that case we already have an empty
task key before and after, so it doesn't change anything there.
When clicking in a single-file diff view to enter staging (or custom patch
editing, when coming from the commit files panel), and then pressing shift-down
or shift-up to select a range, it would move the selected line rather than
creating a range. Only on the next press would it start to select a range from
there.
This is very similar to the fix we made for pressing escape in 0e4d266a52.
When clicking in the main view to enter staging, and then pressing shift-down to
select a range, it moves the selection rather than selecting a two-line range.
We'll fix this in the next commit.
So far we only had tests that called Click() only once. If you have a test that
calls Click twice (we'll add one in the next commit), you'll notice that the
second click is interpreted as a drag because the mouse button wasn't released
in between. Fix this by sending a "mouse-up" event after the click.
After pasting commits once, we hide the cherry-picking status (as if it had been
reset), and no longer paint the copied commits with blue hashes; however, we
still allow pasting them again. This can be useful e.g. to backport a bugfix to
multiple major version release branches.
The string literal "\uf0868" does *not* create a single rune with the code point
f0868, as was intended; instead, it creates two runes, one with the code point
f086, followed by the character '8'.
Currently we try to delete a branch normally, and if git returns an error and
its output contains the text "branch -D", then we prompt the user to force
delete, and try again using -D. Besides just being ugly, this has the
disadvantage that git's logic to decide whether a branch is merged is not very
good; it only considers a branch merged if it is either reachable from the
current head, or from its own upstream. In many cases I want to delete a branch
that has been merged to master, but I don't have master checked out, so the
current branch is really irrelevant, and it should rather (or in addition) check
whether the branch is reachable from one of the main branches. The problem is
that git doesn't know what those are.
But lazygit does, so make the check on our side, prompt the user if necessary,
and always use -D. This is both cleaner, and works better.
See this mailing list discussion for more:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/bf6308ce-3914-4b85-a04b-4a9716bac538@haller-berlin.de/
It's maybe not very common, but it's totally possible for a remote branch to
have a different name than the local branch. This test shows that we don't
support this properly when deleting the remote branch.
This might seem controversial; in many cases the client code gets longer,
because it needs an extra line for an explicit `return nil`. I still prefer
this, because it makes it clearer which calls can return errors.
I can only guess, but I think this was a typo (or a copy-paste-o) when this code
was written. It was introduced in 55af07a1bb, and I think the defer was kept by
accident; if it had been on purpose, then the statement would have been put
right after the Lock call.
This solves several problems that arise from opening a menu while the prompt is
open. We might try to solve these in a different way, e.g. by dismissing the
search prompt before opening a menu, but restricting what you can do while the
prompt is open seems like the more robust fix.
To achieve this, we
- call resetKeyBindings both when opening and when closing the search/filter
prompt
- change the keybindings to only contain the ones for the search prompt when
that context is active.
So far, lazygit has always auto-staged files as soon as the conflict markers
disappeared from them, which means that we could rely on any file that still had
a status of "UU" to still contain conflict markers.
We are going to make the auto-staging optional in the next commit, and in that
case the user will want to manually stage "UU" files; so we must now check
whether the file contains conflict markers, and disallow the staging in that
case.
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.
In other views that show lists of commits (reflog and stash) it doesn't make
sense to show a range diff of selected entries because they don't form a linear
sequence, so we keep the previous behavior of showing the diff for the free end
of the selection range in those view.
The same applies to the commits view if the selection range includes rebasing
todos; these can have an arbitrary order, and a range diff doesn't make sense
for those.
Hopefully this will help alleviate the problem that diffing mode is sticky, and
you often forget that it's still on.
Make it magenta like the mode text in the information view.
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 three nested `if` statements may looks strange, and you might wonder why we
don't have single one with &&. The answer is that later in this branch we will
add an `else` block to the middle one.
In the next commit it will be reused for checking whether we need to reset the
patch; and extracting it makes it easier to extend it for non-sticky diff ranges
later in the branch.
viewFiles is only called from enter; it doesn't make much sense to fill in a
SwitchToCommitFilesContextOpts struct to pass it to viewFiles for this one call.
Simply inline viewFiles into enter and get rid of all that.
I found this indirection confusing when reading the code. It looks like
SwitchToDiffFilesController is instantiated with different such contexts, but
it's always Contexts.CommitFiles, so just use that directly.
Note that this doesn't only affect the diff views, which are the ones where we
want this, but also the status view, where the plan was to keep them underlined
always for better discoverability. We could make this configurable dynamically
(by adding another flag to ViewUpdateOpts), but actually I think it's fine this
way.
Any newly loaded custom command coming from the per-repo config file should add
to the global ones (or override an existing one in the global one), rather than
replace all global ones.
We can achieve this by simply prepending the newly loaded commands to the
existing ones. We don't have to take care of removing duplicate key assignments;
it is already possible to add two custom commands with the same key to the
global config file, the first one wins.
If a `t.FileSystem().FileContent("file.txt", Equals("bla"))` assertion fails
because the file doesn't exist, the error would say
Expected path 'file.txt' to not exist, but it does
which is very confusing.
We fixed one specific scenario where this happened ealier in this branch, but in
case there are more that we don't know about yet, at least make sure we don't
crash.
I don't know what this condition is supposed to guard against, or whether we
really need it (it was added in 06ca71e955, and the commit message of that
commit only says "fix bug"). But if we do need it, then it seems that `>=` is
more correct than `>`.
It is already possible to search a filtered list by searching first, and then
enabling a filter, so I found it inconsistent to not allow searching when you
are already filtering. One reason for not allowing this might be that the search
status (on the left) hides the filter status (on the right), but if we think
that's enough reason to not allow both at the same time, then we should cancel a
search when we enter filtering.
There are many situations where this can arise. Some examples are:
- the terminal window is small, and you are showing a view that shows more
content than fits into the view port, and the view is scrolled all the way
down; now you resize the terminal window to a taller size. Previously, the
scroll position of the view would stay the same, so it would add blank space
at the bottom; now it will scroll to fill that blank space with content
- expandFocusedSidePanel is on, you go to the bottom of a list view, now switch
to a different panel, then scroll that (now unfocused) panel all the way down
with the scroll wheel; now you focus that panel again. It becomes larger
because of the accordion behavior, but would show blank space at the bottom.
And probably others that I can't remember right now. I only remember that I
always found it confusing to look at a view that had blank space at the bottom
even though it had more content to scroll into view.
It might seem cleaner to integrate this into the text style system, so that you
could say `ts := ts.Url("some link")` and then `ts.Sprint("my text")`. However,
this would require adding a new field to TextStyle, which I didn't want to do.
It is just unexpected and confusing when it isn't.
There's something weird about the cursor position when scrolling it out of view;
it will be shown clamped to the visible area of the view (as if it had moved in
the opposite direction than the scroll direction), but then when you type
something again, or just move the cursor with the arrow keys, the view will jump
back to where the cursor really was. This looks confusing, and it might be
reason enough not to allow scrolling the view at all.
It doesn't seem to be used by anything, it looks like we only need to implement
the method so that the IController interface is satisfied. But still, it doesn't
hurt to be correct here, and might avoid confusion in the future when somebody
does try to use the method.
Since onNewRepo calls resetKeybindings, which reinitializes the keybindings for
custom commands, all we have to do for this is store a pointer to a config
instead of storing the customCommands, so we get the up-to-date ones every time.
It still doesn't update the view immediately when reloading the config, only the
next time the status panel is focused. But at least it does it then; writing the
code to update the panel when reloading the config is probably not justifiable.
This allows having per-repo config files with different languages per repo. Now
granted, this is not an important use case that we need to support; however, the
goal is to eventually make all configs hot-reloadable (as opposed to loading
them only once at startup), so this is one step in that direction.
For now we only support .git/lazygit.yml; in the future we would also like to
support ./.lazygit.yml, but that one will need a trust prompt as it could be
versioned, which adds quite a bit of complexity, so we leave that for later.
We do, however, support config files in parent directories (all the way up to
the root directory). This makes it possible to add a config file that applies to
multiple repos at once. Useful if you want to set different options for all your
work repos vs. all your open-source repos, for instance.
Currently, userConfig is only read once at startup and then never changes. Later
in this branch, we will add the possibility to reload the user config; this can
happen either when switching repositories, or when the user has edited the
config file. In both cases, reloading happens on the main thread, but the user
config could be accessed concurrently from background threads, so we need to
make this safe.
At the moment, the user config is only read once at startup, so there's no point
in writing it back to disk. However, later in this branch we will add code that
reloads the user config when switching repos, which does happen quite a bit in
integration tests; this would undo the changes that a test made in its
SetupConfig function, so write those changes to disk to prevent that from
happening.
This makes it more explicit how to deal with the different types of config
files: a user-supplied config file (via the LG_CONFIG_FILE env var) is required
to exist, whereas the default config file will be created if it is missing.
We will later extend this with repo-specific config files, which will be skipped
if missing.
Split it so createAllViews instanciates the views, and sets those properties
that are independent of the user config, and configureViewProperties which sets
those things that do depend on the user config. For now we call the second right
after the first, but later we'll call configureViewProperties after reloading
the user config.
It was added in 043cb2ea44, and the commit message was "reload config whenever
returning to gui". I don't understand what this means; Run() is called exactly
once after startup, so it would just reload the config again for no reason.
We will add a real way of reloading the config whenever it has changed later in
this branch.
We are going to make a few changes to the fields in this branch, and we can make
them with more peace of mind when we can be sure they are not accessed from
outside this package.
In practice, using path seems to work too, since Windows seems to be capable of
dealing with a path like C:/x/y instead of C:\x\y; but it's cleaner to do this
properly.
When clicking in a single-file diff view to enter staging (or custom patch
editing, when coming from the commit files panel), you needed to press escape
twice to exit, where the first press would seemingly do nothing.
The reason for this was that after clicking in the diff we end up in non-sticky
range select mode, but only with a single line selected, which is basically
indistinguishable from line select mode.
SelectedCommit is context-dependent and points to SelectedLocalCommit,
SelectedReflogCommit, or SelectedSubCommit depending on which panel is active.
If none of these panels is active, it returns the selected local commit, which
is probably the most useful default (e.g. when defining custom commands for the
Files panel).
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.
The folder custom_commands contained tests for both custom commands (the ones
you configure in config.yml) and shell commands (the ones you execute at the ":"
prompt). I always found this confusing, so separate these into two different
folders.
Also, use the user's shell (from the SHELL env variable) instead of bash. Both
of these together allow users to use their shell aliases or shell functions in
the interactive command prompt.
This change reduces the number of calls during application startup to
one, calling GetRepoPaths() earlier than previously and plumbing the
repoPaths struct around to achieve this end.
- Introduced a new optional user config command, allBranchesLogCmds
- When pressing 'a' in the Status view, cycle between non-empty, non-identical log commands
- There will always be at least one command to run, since allBranhesLogCmd has a default
- Update documentation & write an integration test
- Update translation string
The current behaviour when creating a new branch off of a remote branch
is to always track the branch it was created from.
For example, if a branch 'my_branch' is created off of the remote branch
'fix_crash_13', then 'my_branch' will be tracking the remote
'fix_crash_13' branch.
It is common practice to have both the local and remote branches named
the same when the local is tracking the remote one. Therefore, it is
reasonable to expect that 'my_branch' should not track the remote
'fix_crash_13' branch.
The new behaviour when creating a new branch off of a remote branch is
to track the branch it was created from only if the branch names match.
If the branch names DO NOT match then the newly created branch will not
track the remote branch it was created from.
For example, if a user creates a new branch 'fix_crash_13' off of the
remote branch 'fix_crash_13', then the local 'fix_crash_13' branch will
track the remote 'fix_crash_13' branch.
However, if the user creates a new branch called 'other_branch_name' off
of the remote branch 'fix_crash_13', then the local 'other_branch_name'
branch will NOT track the remote 'fix_crash_13' branch.
No content changes yet, because nobody has edited anything in Crowdin so far.
However, this changes a few `\u003` to `<` (pretty sure that was an artefact of
how we manually generated the json files in #3649), and it removes all the
translations that are identical to the English version, which I guess is a good
thing (but doesn't make a difference in practice).
I was looking for empty strings in en.json, that's how I found this one. It
resulted in an empty log entry when adding a co-author to an existing commit.
It seems that the embed.FS always uses foreward slashes, even on
Windows.
This not only affected generating the cheatsheets, but also loading a
translation file in production.
The default shortcut to open git difftool (ctrl+t) is not available on
the "Local Branches" window. It is available when selecting a commit
from a local branch, a remote branch, or a tag from the "Local Branches"
window.
This is inconsistent since branches or tags are also commits, the
shortcut should also work on them directly.
This commit remedies this inconsistency by allowing the use of the
shortcut directly on a branch or a tag. The shortcut works both in the
"standard" mode and the "diffing" mode.
This reverts commit 3af545daf7, reversing
changes made to 629b7ba1b8.
We changed our mind about this and want to provide different options for
achieving the same thing, but with more flexibility.
The highlight is normally turned off in HandleFocusLost, but that's not called
when using ReplaceContext (and changing this would be a lot of work, it seems),
so turn it off manually here for now.
Probably not the most import feature in the world, but when resizing the
terminal window while multiple popup panels were open at the same time, we would
only resize the topmost one.
The main reason for changing this is because it makes the next commit easier to
implement.
This is how we do it for confirmation with suggestions too, so be consistent. It
will make things easier later in this branch if we only have one context per
"panel" on the stack, even if the panel consists of two views.
Concretely this means:
- only push the message context onto the stack when opening the panel (this
requires making the description view visible manually; we do the same for
suggestions)
- when switching between message and description, use ReplaceContext rather than
PushContext
We forgot to handle the "suggestions" and "commitDescription" view names.
Instead of listing all the names of views that can appear in popups though,
let's use the context kind for this, which feels more robust.
This is a change in behavior: previously, clicking outside of the search or
filter prompt would close the prompt, now it no longer does (because search has
a persistent popup kind, but it wasn't listed in the list of view names before).
We write a hacky, one-off script to do that. We need this script only once, so
we don't bother polishing it much. We'll re-purpose it later in the branch to
convert the English translation set to JSON; that is an operation that we need
to do regularly in the future.
An inactive selection is one where the view is part of the context stack, but
not the active view. For example, the files view when you enter the staging
panel, or any view when you open a panel.
Remove the old mechanism of clearing the highlight in Layout.
This fixes a problem with a wrong highlight showing up in the staging panel when
entering a file with only staged changes.
Reproduction recipe:
1. stage all changes in a file by pressing space on it in the files panel
2. enter the staged changes panel by pressing enter
3. unstage one of the changes
This makes the unstaged changes panel visible, but keeps the focus in the staged
changes panel. However, the highlight in the unstaged changes view becomes
visible, as if it were focused.
To explain why this happens, you need to know how the selection highlighting of
a view is turned on or off. It is turned on when it gains the focus, i.e. when
ActivateFocus is called on it, which in turn happens when PushContext is called.
It is turned off in Layout when gocui sees that the current view is no longer
the same as last time, in which case it calls onViewFocusLost on the previous
current view.
This mechanism only works reliably when there is at most one PushContext call
per event handler. If there is more than one, then the first one gets its
highlight turned on, then the second one, but since gocui has never seen the
first one as the active view in Layout, it doesn't get the highlight turned off
again even though it should.
And this happens in the above scenario. When pressing enter on a file with only
staged changes, we first push the staging context (in
FilesController.EnterFile), and then later we push the stagingSecondary context
when we realize we only have staged changes. This leaves the highlight of the
staging context on.
runewidth.StringWidth is an expensive call, even if the input string is pure
ASCII. Improve this by providing a wrapper that short-circuits the call to len
if the input is ASCII.
Benchmark results show that for non-ASCII strings it makes no noticable
difference, but for ASCII strings it provides a more than 200x speedup.

In d5b4f7bb3e and 58a83b0862 we introduced a combined mechanism for rerendering
views when either their width changes (needed for the branches view which
truncates long branch names), or the screen mode (needed for those views that
display more information in half or full screen mode, e.g. the commits view).
This was a bad idea, because it unnecessarily rerenders too many views when just
their width changes, which causes a noticable lag. This is a problem, for
example, when selecting a file in the files panel that has only unstaged
changes, and then going to one that has both staged and unstaged changes; this
splits the main view, causing the side panels to become a bit narrower, and
rerendering all those views took almost 500ms on my machine. Another similar
example is entering or leaving staging mode.
Fix this by being more specific about which views need rerendering under what
conditions; this improves the time it takes to rerender in the above scenarios
from 450-500s down to about 20ms.
This reintroduces the code that was removed in 58a83b0862, but in a slightly
different way.
The rendering of remote branches is in no way dependent on the width of the view
(or the screen mode). Unlike in the local branches view, we don't truncate long
branch names here (because there's no more information after them).
This is an error introduced in d5b4f7bb3e.
For checkboxes it probably doesn't really make sense to use them yet, because
we'd have to find a way how you can toggle them without closing the dialog; but
we already provide rendering for them to lay the ground.
But radio buttons can be used already, because for those it is ok to close the
dialog when choosing a different option (as long as there is only one grounp of
radio buttons in the panel, that is).
Strike it through if not applicable. This will hopefully help with confusion
about the meaning of "all" in the "Discard all changes" entry; some people
misunderstand this to mean all changes in the working copy. Seeing the "Discard
unstaged changes" item next to it hopefully makes it clearer that "all" is meant
in contrast to that.
Several custom patch commands on parts of an added file would fail with the
confusing error message "error: new file XXX depends on old contents". These
were dropping the custom patch from the original commit, moving the patch to a
new commit, moving it to a later commit, or moving it to the index.
We fix this by converting the patch header from an added file to a diff against
an empty file. We do this not just for the purpose of applying the patch, but
also for rendering it and copying it to the clip board. I'm not sure it matters
much in these cases, but it does feel more correct for a filtered patch to be
presented this way.
We're going to add another argument in the next commit, and that's getting a bit
much, especially when most of the arguments are bool and you only see true and
false at the call sites without knowing what they mean.
This currently works (albeit with a bit of manual work, as the user needs to
resolve conflicts), and we add this test just to make sure that we don't break
it with the following change.
This currently works, we add it as a regression test to make sure we don't break
it. It is an interesting test because it turns the deletion of the file in the
moved-from commit into a modification.
This is important when using a pager that draws a horizontal line across the
entire width of the view; when changing from a file or directory that has only
unstaged (or only staged) changes to one that has both, the main view is split
in half, but the PTY task would be run on the view in its old state, so the
horizonal line would be too long and wrap around.
All PTYs were created with the size of the main view, on the assumption that
main and secondary always have the same size. That's not true though; in
horizontal split mode, the width of the two views can differ by one because of
rounding, and when using a pager that draws a horizontal line across the width
of the view, this is visible and looks very ugly.
When switching to a repo that was open before, the context tree is reused, so
before adding keybinding functions to those contexts again, we need to clear the
old ones.
