This bundles the keyName and a rune, so that we don't have to pass these around
separately everywhere. This should make it easier to swap out the rune for a
string when we upgrade to tcell v3.
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.
If the repo has multiple remotes, but only one of them is on Github (the others
might for example point to a self-hosted Critic server or something like that),
lazygit would still present a menu to choose the remote for pull requests, but
it would contain only that single entry. That's pointless, pick it automatically
without prompting.
We add some tests while we're at it; these wouldn't have caught the problem,
because they only test getGithubBaseRemote which already takes the filtered
github remotes. It's still better than not having any tests; the real issue
could only have been caught with an integration test, which we don't bother
adding.
If we used to have a base remote (e.g. because there was only one), but now we
don't (e.g. because the user has added a second one, and we don't know yet which
one is the base), stop showing the cached PRs. This is especially important in
the case that the user cancels the prompt, in which case we don't have a base
remote for the rest of the session, but would keep showing the (potentially
stale) cached PRs forever.
This is useful when cancelling out of the commit panel mid-sentence (after
having typed the space for the next word); when entering the commit message
panel again, the space was gone and you had to type it again. Small thing, but
it just seems better to resume the panel in exactly the state that you left it
in. (Which we actually don't do; we don't remember the cursor position, or which
of the subject/description panels was active. That would be a separate
improvement.)
The save path and the load path used to be asymmetric. On save, the textarea
getters applied strings.TrimSpace, which stripped any leading blank lines, a
trailing newline after the cursor, or indentation on the very first line of the
description — all of which are legitimate user content. On load,
SplitCommitMessageAndDescription did TrimSpace on the description as well, and
the preserved message was routed through that same git-format split because
HandleCommitPress passed it as OpenCommitMessagePanel's InitialMessage. The
result: every round-trip through "escape and reopen" silently mutated the
message.
The fix is to treat our own preservation file as its own format, distinct from
git's canonical "summary\n\nbody" format:
- The textarea getters return raw content. strings.TrimSpace moves to the one
place that still needs it: the empty-summary check in HandleCommitConfirm (git
itself strips trailing whitespace and blank lines, so no pre-trim is needed
before -m).
- SplitPreservedCommitMessage / SetPreservedMessageInView split on the single
"\n" our Join uses, without any trimming — truly lossless.
- SplitCommitMessageAndDescription keeps its git-format behavior but replaces
TrimSpace with TrimPrefix("\n"), so it strips only the blank-line separator
and leaves body indentation intact.
- HandleCommitPress now mirrors HandleWIPCommitPress: it no longer passes the
preserved message as InitialMessage. OpenCommitMessagePanel resolves the
preserved content itself, uses it for display via the preservation-format
setter, and stores it as the initial message so the close-time "did the user
change anything?" check still correctly detects a cleared panel.
- GetInitialMessage no longer trims. With raw getters on both sides of the
comparison, trimming here caused spurious non-matches (e.g. for preserved
content with trailing whitespace). The original motivation — matching a
"WIP: " prefix with trailing space — works unchanged.
- UpdateCommitPanelView becomes dead code and is removed; its one remaining
caller (history cycling, always git-format) goes directly through
SetMessageAndDescriptionInView.

We'll want to call just the preservation step when the app is quitting
with the commit message panel open: at that point the view-hiding and
context-popping in CloseCommitMessagePanel are pointless (the app is
about to exit), and some of the focus-lost side effects could be
surprising during teardown.
There's no reason for this; when opening the panel next time, it will be
populated again. Also, it doesn't make sense to do this only when not preserving
the message.
When no base repository is configured using gh, we have several heuristics for
choosing a likely base repo before prompting the user. One of these was that if
the origin remote exists, we'd choose that. This may be the right choice in some
cases, but in many others it's not; for example, in the common scenario of a
forking setup where the upstream repo's remote is called after its owner, and
the fork remote is called origin, we would choose origin as the base repo, which
results in not showing any PRs. Don't do that, and instead prompt the user for
the base repo in this case.
This makes it easier to recover them if they were deleted accidentally.
We only do this for local branches for now, we don't bother for remote branches;
it would be trickier there, because the branch on the server might not actually
point to the same hash as our local remote tracking branch does.
For esthetic reasons, checking out a branch (or other ref) blocks the UI until
the refresh is done, so it's important that the refresh doesn't do unnecessary
work. Refreshing pull requests is unnecessary (but costly, when waiting for it)
when a branch is checked out that already existed locally. However, it is
required when checking out a remote branch for the first time, so that the PR
icon appears immediately when there is one.
When you rebase a branch and there are conflicts, lazygit asks you to continue
the rebase when it detects that all conflicts have been resolved. However, it is
common to make additional changes beyond just fixing the conflicts (e.g. to fix
build failures), and when doing that while the "Continue the rebase?" prompt is
showing, lazygit detects that too and asks you if you want to stage those newly
modified files too. This is all well and good (and can be disabled for those who
don't like it); however, lazygit would treat out-of-date submodules as unstaged
changes and would offer to stage those as well, and this is pretty bad and
almost never what you want. Fix this by excluding submodules from that second
check.
Previously, when showing subcommits of a branch or tag, scrolling down, and then
going out and entering subcommits again, it would select the first commit but
keep the previous scroll position, so that the selection was not visible. Always
scroll to the top to fix this.
I got confused when I investigated the bug that was fixed in the previous
commit, so hopefully these will be helpful for the next person reading this
code.
The symptom of the bug was that confirmation panels with wrapped text were one
character too wide, which could sometimes result in them being one line too
heigh. One concrete example is the "Discard file changes" confirmation that
appears when pressing `d` in the commit files panel.
I got very confused when investigating this bug, and the reason is that
getPopupPanelDimensionsAux took two parameters panelWidth and panelHeight, but
the second was actually contentHeight. Rename it to contentHeight, and change
the first one to also be the content width rather than the panel width. This is
easier for clients, and less confusing.
Without this check, the selection was being reset to 0 whenever
ReApplyFilter was called for the current filter context, even when
the user wasn't actively typing in the search prompt (e.g. when the
model updates in the background). This was causing unexpected cursor
jumps.

When opening a filter prompt, reset PrevSearchIndex to -1 to avoid
stale search state from a previous search/filter session.

This avoids a naming collision with GetFilter from the
IFilterableContext interface, which will be implemented by
FileTreeViewModel in the next commit.

On very large screens they would get ridiculously wide.
The limits we chose here are a little arbitrary:
- 80 for confirmations and prompts
- 90 for menus
- auto-wrap width plus 25 for the commit message editor (or 100 if auto-wrap is
off)
It is possible to scroll the selection out of view using the mouse wheel; after
doing this, it would sometimes scroll into view by itself again, for example
when a background fetch occurred. In the files panel this would even happen
every 10s with every regular files refresh.
Fix this by adding a scrollIntoView parameter to HandleFocus, which is false by
default, and is only set to true from controllers that change the selection.
We want to do this whenever we switch branches; it wasn't done consistently
though. There are many different ways to switch branches, and only some of these
would reset the selection of all three panels (branches, commits, and reflog).
The confirmation used to make sense back when the Open MergeTool command was its
own top-level command; however, that command was changed in 703f053a7e to open a
menu instead, and Open MergeTool is now just a submenu entry in that menu, so it
no longer needs a confirmation.
We move the code to push the branches context into CheckoutRef, this way it
works consistently no matter where we call it from. Previously, checking out
remote branches or tags would switch to the branches view, but checking out a
commit did not.
Note that it now also takes effect for undoing or redoing a checkout, which may
be a bit questionable; but I still think it makes sense for this, too.
This doesn't really solve a pressing problem, because I guess it's unlikely that
users add spaces at the beginning or end of what they type into a prompt; but it
could happen, and in this case we almost always want to strip it. Just adding
this here for completeness while I was working on this code.
The only exception is the input prompt of custom commands, because who knows
what users want to use that input for in their custom command.
Most of our prompts don't (shouldn't) allow empty input, but most callers didn't
check, and would run into cryptic errors when the user pressed enter at an empty
prompt (e.g. when creating a new branch). Now we simply don't allow hitting
enter in this case, and show an error toast instead.
This behavior is opt-out, because there are a few cases where empty input is
supported (e.g. creating a stash).
Previously it was used both for the Confirm handler and the Cancel handler, as
well as for the Confirm handler of confirmation popups (not prompts). There was
no other way to do it given how wrappedConfirmationFunction was shared between
all these; but now there is. The logic is really only needed for the Confirm
handler of prompts.
This doesn't fix anything, it just makes things clearer.
And call this new helper function from both wrappedConfirmationFunction and
wrappedPromptConfirmationFunction; this gives us more flexibility to do
different things in each of those.
