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

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

refreshReflogCommits now does the git fetch on the worker and computes
the new ReflogCommits / FilteredReflogCommits values (still reading the
existing slices for the incremental prepend), then writes them in an
onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged bounce. The freshly-computed reflog is still
returned for the branches load, so recency sorting is unaffected by the
write now landing on the UI thread (see the previous commit).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
BranchLoader.Load reads the reflog commits to sort branches by recency.
Today it reads them straight from Model.ReflogCommits, which works
because in the recency path the reflog refresh writes that field
synchronously just before the branches refresh reads it (same goroutine,
sequential).
An upcoming commit bounces the reflog model write onto the UI thread, at
which point Model.ReflogCommits wouldn't be updated yet when branches
runs — branches would sort by the previous refresh's reflog. To decouple
the branches load from *when* that write lands, pass the reflog commits
to refreshBranches explicitly: refreshReflogCommits now returns the
commits it loaded, and the recency path hands them straight to
refreshBranches. The non-recency path (branches and reflog run
concurrently, as before) keeps passing Model.ReflogCommits.
Pure refactor: behavior is identical, since the value passed is exactly
what Load read from the model before.

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

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

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

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

refreshStashEntries now loads the stash entries on the worker and writes

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

refreshCommitFilesContext now enqueues the Model.CommitFiles write and
CommitFileTreeViewModel.SetTree() call via OnUIThread, instead of running
them directly on the worker goroutine that drives async refreshes. This is
what makes moving SwitchToDiffFilesController's post-refresh work into Then
(previous commit) actually necessary, rather than just future-proofing.
Same repo-switch hazard as the FILES bounce, closed the same way: it
captures the repo generation before the git work and bounces through
onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged, so the write is dropped if the user switched
repos while it was in flight.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
SwitchToDiffFilesController.enter calls SelectPath and Context.Push
right after a (SYNC, by default) COMMIT_FILES refresh. This works today
because the model write currently happens synchronously in the worker
before Refresh's wg.Wait() returns, but an upcoming commit will bounce
that write onto the UI thread instead, at which point wg.Wait() no
longer guarantees it's been applied, and SelectPath would operate on a
stale tree.
Move both calls into Then ahead of that change, for the same reason as
the earlier FILES-scope commit: Then is already queued via OnUIThread,
so this is behavior-preserving on its own.

FileTreeViewModel.RWMutex is removed along with the
withFileTreeViewModelMutex wrapper in FilesController that RLocked it:
every writer (the bounce closure, previous commit) and every reader (key
handlers, disabled-reason callbacks) now runs on the UI thread, so the
mutex is redundant.
RefreshingFilesMutex is removed entirely, including its last use in
repos_helper's DispatchSwitchTo. That use predates the bounce and was
never about FilesController's optimistic-rendering concern; it serialized
a repo switch's onNewRepo() against an in-flight FILES refresh for the
repo being switched away from, so that a slow refresh from the old repo
couldn't write into the freshly-reset model for the new one. Bouncing the
write already broke that guarantee on its own terms — the mutex's critical
section never covered the bounced closure's actual execution, only the
(now-removed) code that enqueued it — so by this point it was only still
locked here without protecting anything real; the previous commit's
repo-generation guard is what now actually closes that race, making this
lock fully redundant rather than just relocated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
refreshStateFiles now does its git work on the worker and enqueues a
single OnUIThread closure that writes Model.Submodules, Model.Files, and
the FileTreeViewModel state together, instead of writing them directly
from the worker goroutine. refreshStateSubmoduleConfigs becomes a pure
getter (returns the configs; no model write) so the result can be
threaded into that same bounce.
The STAGING handler wraps RefreshStagingPanel in OnUIThread after
fileWg.Wait() so it sees the post-bounce file model rather than the stale
pre-refresh one — without this it would race the files bounce queued just
above it.
Bouncing the write opens a hazard the old synchronous write didn't have:
if the user switches repos while this refresh is in flight, the queued
closure would fire after resetState has replaced the model with a fresh
one for the new repo, silently overwriting it with the previous repo's
files. Guard against this with a repo generation: resetState bumps a
counter on every switch, refreshStateFiles captures it before its git
work, and onUIThreadUnlessRepoChanged drops the bounce if the generation
has moved on. This one helper is the general mechanism the remaining
scopes' bounces will use too; the same guard covers the rebase-continue
prompt, which reads Model.Files right after.
A generation counter, not a comparison of the *Model pointer: switching
away from and back to a repo reuses that repo's cached state (the same
Model pointer), which a pointer comparison would wrongly accept even
though the in-flight data is stale.
PromptToContinueRebase's Then callback (previous commit) now gets an
explanatory comment, since this is the commit that makes it necessary.
The explicit locking around these writes (RefreshingFilesMutex in
refreshFilesAndSubmodules, FileTreeViewModel.RWMutex around the write in
refreshStateFiles) is left in place for now even though it's becoming
redundant, to keep this commit focused on the bounce itself; it's removed
next.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
PromptToContinueRebase and WithEnsureCommittableFiles both read
Model.Files right after a SYNC FILES refresh. This works today because
the model write currently happens synchronously in the worker before
Refresh's wg.Wait() returns, but an upcoming commit will bounce that
write onto the UI thread instead, at which point wg.Wait() no longer
guarantees it's been applied.
Move both reads into Then ahead of that change. Then is already queued
via OnUIThread (previous commit), so this is a behavior-preserving
refactor on its own: the model is fully written by the time Then runs
either way, whether that write is still synchronous or gets bounced
later.
As part of restructuring WithEnsureCommittableFiles, prepareFilesForCommit
and syncRefresh are inlined into their single call sites.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
This is preparation for upcoming commits that will bounce refresh-scope
model updates (e.g. Model.Files) onto the UI thread by enqueuing the
write via OnUIThread instead of applying it directly on the worker
goroutine. Once that lands, a Then callback that reads the model must
run after that queued write has been processed, not synchronously at
wg.Wait() time — at that point the workers have returned, but a bounce
they queued may not have been processed yet.
Queuing Then via OnUIThread here, ahead of that change, guarantees the
right ordering once it lands: a bounce queued earlier in the same
refresh is already sitting in the channel by the time wg.Wait()
returns, so Then enqueued after it will always be processed after, and
see the post-refresh model.
The signature change to func() error lets Then propagate errors
through gocui's normal error handler (the same path key-handler errors
take).

Operations that show an inline status next to the item they operate on
("Pushing", "Fast-forwarding", "Fetching", …) would sometimes fail to
remove this inline status when done.
Fixes#5534.
Pushing a tag triggers no refresh, so it used to redraw the tags view
by hand to remove the "Pushing" inline status. WithInlineStatus now
always re-renders after clearing the operation, so this is redundant.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Operations that show an inline status ("Pushing", "Fast-forwarding",
"Fetching", …) removed it by relying on the async refresh they trigger
to redraw the view after the item operation had been cleared. That
ordering was never guaranteed: the item operation is cleared on the
worker once the operation's function returns, while the refresh redraws
the item from the UI thread whenever its (asynchronous) git work
happens to finish. If the refresh redrew before the clear, the status
was left on screen with no later redraw to remove it, so the branch (or
tag/remote) stayed stuck showing e.g. "Pushing" indefinitely even though
the operation had completed. This is timing-dependent, which is why it
surfaced as rare, hard-to-reproduce reports and as flaky CI failures.
Fix it by re-rendering in stop() right after clearing the operation,
and by making these refreshes synchronous rather than async. Because a
synchronous refresh has already updated the model and queued its own
redraw by the time stop() runs, and UI-thread callbacks run in order,
the redraw we queue here runs last and draws the up-to-date model with
the status removed. An async refresh couldn't give that guarantee: its
model update might not have landed yet, so the redraw could briefly
flash the pre-operation status.
Pull refreshes through the shared CheckMergeOrRebaseAndSelectHeadCommit,
so that helper becomes synchronous too; its only other caller,
RegularMerge, thereby also refreshes synchronously, which is fine: a
synchronous on-worker refresh is what we want anyway.

Some operations used to freeze lazygit while they ran, with no sign that
anything was happening — the UI would just lock up until they finished.
This affected:
- Merging a branch (including squash merges)
- Rebasing a branch interactively onto another ref
- Setting a commit to "edit"
- Resetting to a commit, branch, or tag
- Continuing, skipping, or aborting a merge or rebase
Many of these were usually fast under normal conditions (e.g. a hard
reset when the head doesn't change, or a "rebase --continue" when
there's only a handful of commits left), but in some cases they could
take long (e.g. a hard reset to some distant commit where lots of files
changed). Now each of these shows a spinner while it works and keeps the
UI responsive, matching how similar operations already behave.
Resetting to a commit/branch/tag from the reset menu ran inline on the UI
thread with no spinner; a hard reset to a distant commit can take a while
and blocks the UI meanwhile. Run it on a worker with a waiting status. The
undo/redo callers of ResetToRef already wrap it this way.

Setting a single commit to "edit" ran the interactive rebase inline on the

The interactive-rebase item in the rebase-onto-ref menu ran inline on the UI

The regular and squash merges from the merge menu ran inline on the UI

Continuing, skipping, or aborting a merge/rebase from the options menu ran
the git command inline on the UI thread, freezing the UI with no spinner
while it worked (a continue can replay many commits). Run the
non-subprocess path on a worker with a waiting status instead, matching how
the other merge/rebase entry points already behave.
The auto-skip recursion in CheckMergeOrRebaseWithRefreshOptions must not
start its own worker: it already runs on the caller's thread (the worker of
the enclosing waiting status, or the UI thread for the synchronous callers).
Route it through genericMergeCommandImpl with the waiting status suppressed
so its behavior is unchanged.

When showing the files of a commit, we used to display renamed files as
a pair of added and deleted files, rather than a single `R` entry. This
is inconvenient when just browsing the commit's files because you can't
see if the rename also has modifications; but it becomes a real problem
when trying to work with the renamed file in a custom patch if it also
had modifications; there was no way to discard them, for example.
The Files panel already shows renamed files as `R` and allows you to
stage/unstage/discard hunks in them, so there's no reason why the patch
building panel shouldn't allow the same; and this PR adds this.
To drop just the modifications of a rename, add the individual hunks to
the custom patch (the side panel shows a `◐` icon); reverting the patch
then only drops the modifications but not the rename. To also drop the
rename, add the entire `R` file to the custom patch from the side panel
(it gets a `●` icon).
When loading the files of a commit we passed --no-renames, so a rename
showed up as a separate delete and add rather than a single R entry.
That made it impossible to work with a rename that also modifies the
file: the modifications were spread across a full deletion and a full
addition instead of appearing as the handful of lines that actually
changed. The staging view already shows renames and lets you stage
their hunks, so there was no good reason for the patch builder to
differ; the flag was only there because the commit-file parser couldn't
cope with the rename record format.
Switch the commit-file loader and the per-file diff to --find-renames,
teach the parser about the rename record (a status followed by two
paths), and carry the previous path through the patch builder so the
diff for a rename is loaded with both paths, which is what makes git
emit the rename in the first place.
A whole-file selection keeps the rename in the header, so the rename
moves or is discarded together with the file's contents. A partial
selection instead strips the rename metadata and points the header at
the new path, so applying the patch only changes the contents and
leaves the rename in place; the blob index line is kept so that a 3-way
apply can still fall back to a blob merge.
Discarding a renamed file from a commit now discards both the new and
the old path, so the new file is removed and the old one is restored.
Changing the rename similarity threshold refreshes the commit files
panel too, not just the files panel, so that a rename can turn into a
delete and add or back. It is disabled while building a patch, however,
because the patch builder caches each file's diff by path and would
desync if a rename changed into a delete and add underneath it.
Finally, copying a file's diff from the commit files panel now passes
both paths for a rename, so the copied diff shows the rename instead of
a new-file add.

In many cases some of the side panels show a lot of empty space; for
example the branches panel when there is only a `main` branch. This gets
worse when `expandFocusedSidePanel` is on (accordion mode), in which
case the almost-empty panel gets even bigger when focused and steals
valuable space from the other panels that do have something to show.
This PR adds a new `gui.shrinkSidePanelsToContent` option which causes
side panels to never show more than their content (plus one blank line,
so it's clear there's nothing more below). This means that panel heights
are now dynamic and may change as their content changes; for example,
when the working tree is clean the Files panel shows only two blank
lines, but as you start changing file, it gets taller to show them.
The option is off by default because it takes some getting used to. It
is also independent of the `expandFocusedSidePanel` option; that one
just makes the effect even more pronounced.
Accordion mode expands the focused side panel, but when that panel has
little content (an empty Files panel, a Branches panel with only master)
it just fills the extra height with blank space. The same waste happens
for any panel that gets more height than it has content to show.
When this option is enabled, each side panel is sized to its own content
(plus a blank line, so it's clear there's nothing more below) rather than
to an equal share of the height. The height a small panel gives up flows
to the panels that have more content than fits; those grow up to their
content and then scroll, weighted toward the focused panel in accordion
mode so the two features compose. Only when every panel fits with room to
spare is the leftover shared out equally, regardless of focus: enlarging
the focused panel there would reveal no more content and would only make
the panels jump around as the focus moves.
The option is independent of expandFocusedSidePanel and off by default.
The status panel, and the stash panel when unfocused, keep their fixed
one-line height as before.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The height thresholds that decide between the proportional layout and
the squashed layout (and, within the squashed layout, between 3-row and
1-row unfocused panels) were hard-coded constants tuned for the fixed
set of five side panels. Now that the panels are configurable, a layout
with fewer panels has less to fit, yet was still forced into the
squashed layout at the same height as five panels would be.
Scale the thresholds down in proportion to the panel count so a smaller
layout keeps using the proportional layout at smaller heights. Only ever
scale down: raising the thresholds for more panels would make them
squash sooner, which works against the reason someone adds panels in the
first place (they want to see them).

A handful of default keybindings differ by platform (e.g. word-wise
cursor movement in text inputs uses alt on macOS but ctrl elsewhere).
Lazygit chooses these based on the OS it runs on, but that's the wrong
signal when the OS isn't where the user is actually typing: someone
running lazygit in a Linux container that they access over ssh from a
Mac gets the Linux bindings, when they'd rather have the Mac ones.
Remapping each binding by hand via config is tedious, so add a single
LAZYGIT_KEYBINDING_PLATFORM override.

This PR improves three rough edges around deleting worktrees and the
branches checked out in them:
- **Deleting a branch that's checked out in another worktree now
actually deletes the branch.** The menu used to offer to remove or
detach the worktree but then stop there, leaving behind the very branch
you asked to delete. Both actions now delete the branch afterwards, and
the labels say so ("Remove worktree and delete branch" / "Detach
worktree and delete branch"). The old "Switch to worktree" entry is
dropped — it's not a useful option in the context of deleting a branch.
- **A branch's local branch, remote branch, and worktree can be deleted
in one step.** Picking "Delete local and remote branch" for a single
branch that's checked out in another worktree used to fail with a
confusing "select them one by one" error (which only makes sense for a
multi-selection). It now goes through the same worktree menu, with
labels that make clear the remote is deleted too.
- **Pressing `d` on a worktree can delete its branch.** The plain
confirmation becomes a menu: "Remove worktree", "Remove worktree and
delete branch", and "Remove worktree and delete local and remote
branch".
Throughout, the explicit menu choice acts as the confirmation, so the
separate "Are you sure you want to remove worktree?" prompt is gone; the
dirty-worktree force prompt and the not-fully-merged warning still show
up when relevant.
Closes#5205.
Pressing `d` on a worktree only ever removed the worktree, leaving its branch
behind even though deleting it too is often what you want. Turn the confirmation
into a menu: "Remove worktree", "Remove worktree and delete branch", and "Remove
worktree and delete local and remote branch". The branch-deleting items come
after the plain removal (they do more harm if picked by accident); both are
greyed out for a detached-HEAD worktree, and the local-and-remote one is also
greyed when the branch has no upstream. The plain menu pick is the confirmation,
so the standalone "remove worktree?" prompt is gone (and its now-dead
translation string with it); the dirty-worktree force prompt and the
unmerged-branch warning still appear when relevant.

Picking "Delete local and remote branch" for a single branch that's checked
out in another worktree used to fail with "Some of the selected branches are
checked out by other worktrees. Select them one by one to delete them." That
message only makes sense for a multi-selection; for a single branch there's no
reason we can't remove the worktree and delete both the local and remote branch
in one go. Route that case through the same worktree menu as the local-only
delete, with labels that spell out that the remote goes too. The multi-select
error stays for actual multi-selections.

When you delete a local branch that's checked out in another worktree, the
menu offered to remove or detach the worktree but then stopped there, leaving
the branch you asked to delete still around. Now both actions delete the branch
afterwards, and the labels say so ("Remove worktree and delete branch" /
"Detach worktree and delete branch") to avoid surprises.
Also drop the "Switch to worktree" item: switching abandons the delete the user
asked for, and it's already reachable by checking out the branch or via the
worktrees panel. And drop the now-redundant "remove worktree?" confirmation:
the explicit menu pick is the confirmation (the dirty-worktree force prompt and
the unmerged-branch warning still appear when relevant).

Split the actual worktree removal out of the confirmation in Remove into a
non-confirming helper, and give both Remove and Detach an optional `then`
continuation that runs after a successful removal in place of the default
refresh. Upcoming flows need to delete the worktree's branch once the worktree
is out of the way; threading a continuation through (rather than the caller
firing branch deletion independently) keeps it ordered after the git command
that actually frees the branch. No behavior change yet.

Creating a worktree in lazygit used to be more awkward than it needed to
be:
- The first thing you were asked was whether you wanted a "normal" or
"detached" worktree — a distinction that's confusing to face up front,
and meaningless when you're creating a worktree from a commit, tag or
stash (both choices did the same thing there).
- You then had to type the new worktree's path by hand. That's easy to
get wrong (a mistyped `.worktrees`, for instance), it wasn't clear
whether you were meant to enter the parent folder or the full path, and
it was ambiguous what a relative path would resolve against — especially
when you were already inside another worktree.
- If you picked a branch that was already checked out in another
worktree, lazygit still asked you for a path and only told you it
wouldn't work afterwards.
- There was no quick way to create a new branch and a worktree for it
(sharing the same name) in one step.
This PR reworks the whole flow:
- **No more up-front mode menu.** Pressing `w` on a branch, commit, tag,
stash or remote branch opens a menu whose options are tailored to what
you selected, and each option spells out exactly what it will do — e.g.
"New worktree for 'main'", or "New detached worktree at 'v1.2.0'".
- **You never type a path from scratch.** Lazygit offers ready-made
locations — the folders your existing worktrees already live in, plus an
optional configured default — and shows each as a full path before
anything happens. The folder name is filled in for you from the branch
(or the name you choose). You can still pick "Other…" to type a custom
path.
- **Create a branch and its worktree in one step**, with a single name
used for both. Slashes are preserved, so `feature/foo` gives you a
`feature/foo` branch and a matching nested folder.
- **Branches already checked out elsewhere are caught up front:** the
relevant option is greyed out with an explanation of why, instead of
letting you do the work and then failing.
- **The worktrees panel's `n` is now a single branch picker.** Start
typing, or pick from the list: choosing an existing branch checks it out
in a new worktree, choosing a remote branch creates a local tracking
branch for it, and typing a new name creates a new branch off your
current one — each then simply asks where to put the worktree. Branches
that are already checked out are left out of the suggestions.
There's also a new `worktree.defaultPath` setting to tell lazygit where
to create worktrees by default — useful before you have any existing
worktrees for it to take its cue from. Starting that path with `~/` is
supported (your home dir); this is also supported in the "Other…" path
prompt mentioned above.
Fixes#3230Fixes#4708Fixes#5664
Lazygit runs git directly rather than through a shell, so a literal "~"
reaches `git worktree add` unexpanded and git creates a directory named
"~" instead of using the home directory.
Expand the tilde ourselves, both for paths typed into the "Other"
location prompt and for the worktree.defaultPath config value.

The command was renamed from "View worktree options" to "New worktree",
but its keybinding config key was still 'worktrees.viewWorktreeOptions'.
That name no longer matches the command, and the 'worktrees' section made
little sense: it held a single binding that isn't even used in the
worktrees panel (that panel uses universal.new), only in the branches,
remotes, tags, commits, and stash panels. Other keybinding sections are
named after the panel they're local to; this one wasn't local to any.
Move it to universal.newWorktree, which describes the action and drops the
spurious section, and migrate existing configs automatically.
