The per-platform getCmdHandlerPty split existed because the Unix side
had creack/pty and the Windows side had nothing — so it fell back to a
non-pty handler. Now that oscommands.StartPty provides a pty on both
platforms, the two files collapse into one cross-platform
implementation and the stub is gone.
cmdHandler grows a 'wait' field because the pty path on Windows spawns
via CreateProcess and never runs exec.Cmd.Start — so cmd.Wait wouldn't
work there. Non-pty handlers set wait = cmd.Wait; pty handlers set it
to the wait closure StartPty returns.

Commit d94f2f05 dropped the GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0 env var that we used
to set on every git command, and re-added lock suppression only as a
--no-optional-locks flag on the background files refresh. The intent
was sound — a foreground `git status` should persist git's refreshed
stat-cache — but the change was too broad: it stopped suppressing
optional locks for every other command too.
The one that bites is the main-view diff. When a folder containing
submodules is selected, we render `git diff --submodule -- <dir>`, and
`--submodule` makes git run `git status` inside each submodule to
describe its "modified" state. That status now grabs the submodule's
index.lock. It runs as a PTY task on its own goroutine, so it races
any submodule-mutating action the user triggers — e.g. resetting a
submodule runs `git -C <submodule> stash`, which then fails with
"index.lock: File exists". This is what made submodule/reset_folder
flaky. `git status` is in fact the only command that takes the
optional lock, but the env var also covered its use inside `git diff
--submodule`, inside PTY-run commands, and inside git's own submodule
child processes — none of which a per-command flag reaches cleanly.
Invert the polarity to match how it worked before d94f2f05: the git
command builder disables optional locks on every command by default,
and the single command that benefits from taking the lock — the
foreground files refresh — opts back in. This restores the original
contention avoidance (including against the user's terminal git) while
keeping d94f2f05's stat-cache-persistence win for the foreground
refresh.

I copied all files except dot files (.github and .gitignore), the _examples
folder, and go.mod/go.sum.
At some point we may want to copy the files back to the gocui repo when other
clients (e.g. lazydocker) want to use the newer versions of them.
However, show it when there was an error. This is important for the case that a
fork that you have as a remote was deleted, in which case the command log is the
only way to get notified about that.
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.
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.
From the go 1.19 release notes:
Command and LookPath no longer allow results from a PATH search to be found relative to the current directory. This removes a common source of security problems but may also break existing programs that depend on using, say, exec.Command("prog") to run a binary named prog (or, on Windows, prog.exe) in the current directory. See the os/exec package documentation for information about how best to update such programs.
I don't know why we're getting index.lock errors but they're impossile to stop
anyway given that other processes can be calling git commands. So we're retrying
a few times before re-raising. To do this we need to clone the command and the current
implementation for that is best-effort.
I do worry about the maintainability of that but we'll see how it goes.
Also, I thought you'd need to clone the task (if it exists) but now I think not;
as long as you don't call done twice on it you should be fine, and you shouldn't
be done'ing a task as part of running a command: that should happen higher up.
The global counter approach is easy to understand but it's brittle and depends on implicit behaviour that is not very discoverable.
With a global counter, if any goroutine accidentally decrements the counter twice, we'll think lazygit is idle when it's actually busy.
Likewise if a goroutine accidentally increments the counter twice we'll think lazygit is busy when it's actually idle.
With the new approach we have a map of tasks where each task can either be busy or not. We create a new task and add it to the map
when we spawn a worker goroutine (among other things) and we remove it once the task is done.
The task can also be paused and continued for situations where we switch back and forth between running a program and asking for user
input.
In order for this to work with `git push` (and other commands that require credentials) we need to obtain the task from gocui when
we create the worker goroutine, and then pass it along to the commands package to pause/continue the task as required. This is
MUCH more discoverable than the old approach which just decremented and incremented the global counter from within the commands package,
but it's at the cost of expanding some function signatures (arguably a good thing).
Likewise, whenever you want to call WithWaitingStatus or WithLoaderPanel the callback will now have access to the task for pausing/
continuing. We only need to actually make use of this functionality in a couple of places so it's a high price to pay, but I don't
know if I want to introduce a WithWaitingStatusTask and WithLoaderPanelTask function (open to suggestions).
By constructing an arg vector manually, we no longer need to quote arguments
Mandate that args must be passed when building a command
Now you need to provide an args array when building a command.
There are a handful of places where we need to deal with a string,
such as with user-defined custom commands, and for those we now require
that at the callsite they use str.ToArgv to do that. I don't want
to provide a method out of the box for it because I want to discourage its
use.
For some reason we were invoking a command through a shell when amending a
commit, and I don't believe we needed to do that as there was nothing user-
supplied about the command. So I've switched to using a regular command out-
side the shell there
