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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
