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.

Change the tests so that they run in a linked worktree; this uncovers the bug
that copying a file's absolute path uses the main repo path rather than the
worktree's path.
When building multi-step custom command forms, some prompts are only
relevant depending on earlier answers. Without conditional logic,
users must dismiss irrelevant prompts manually.
Prompts now accept a `condition` field with a template expression
evaluated against prior form values. Skipped prompts default to
an empty string.
The template expression is a string pre- and suffixed with double curly
braces - {{}}.
Form keys can be reused, a guard ensures that skipped prompts do not
reset already set form keys with an empty string. This allows the
conditional flow to remind a user to set a key that was left empty
because additional conditions want that key to be set. This removes the
need to have additional if checks in the command that uses the form
keys.
Set the sort order's default from the former foldersFirst to mixed, so this is a
change in behavior. I find this useful because it now matches git's order, so if
you look at the diff of a commit, the TOC at the top has the same order as the
file tree you see when entering the commit.
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 it would iterate over all changed files and call git checkout or git
reset for each one, which can take forever if there are hundreds or thousands of
files. Now it batches these into a single command if possible (taking care of
still passing the individual path names to the git call rather than just the
directory, which is necessary for making it work correctly when filtering --
this was actually broken for the "Discard unstaged changes" command, which is
fixed here).
When discarding a directory, we only want to discard those files that are
visible in the current filter view. The tests show that this already works
correctly for discarding all changes, but it doesn't for discarding only
unstaged changes: in this case, untracked files are handled correctly, but
changes to tracked files are discarded without respecting the filter.
This fixes the problem; a consequence of this change is that given the following
scenario:
@@ -1,3 +1,3 @@
1
-2
+2b
3
staging only the line `+2b` will put it *before* the unchanged `2` line, rather
than after it as you might expect (the changed unit tests demonstrate this).
Since this should be a pretty uncommon scenario, I guess it is an ok compromise.
As you can see in the changed tests, while the behavior of what gets staged is
fixed now, it doesn't always correctly select the next line to stage. We'll
address this in the next commit.
This is a pretty special case (see comment in the test for details). It is
working correctly, but I almost broke it during development, so it's good to
cover it with a test.
Given a block of consecutive changed lines, trying to stage only some of them
doesn't work correctly in all cases:
- if the staged lines are the last lines in the block of changes, it already
works
- when staging some changes in the middle of the block, it doesn't work as
desired, but we also don't try to fix this case in this branch, because it's
harder to do, and not as common as the other two
- staging the first lines of the block doesn't work as desired, and we will fix
that in this branch.
When a branch is checked out by another worktree, show the worktree
name in the label, e.g. "(worktree cosmos2)" instead of just
"(worktree)", so you can immediately see which worktree holds it.
This commit implements the ability to cycle backward through different
all branches log visualization modes, complementing the existing forward
cycling functionality. Users can now press 'A' (Shift+a) to cycle in
reverse through the available log graph views, improving navigation
efficiency when they overshoot their desired view.
Changes:
- Added RotateAllBranchesLogIdxBackward() method to BranchCommands for
backward rotation through log command candidates
- Introduced AllBranchesLogGraphReverse keybinding configuration with
default key 'A' (uppercase)
- Implemented switchToOrRotateAllBranchesLogsBackward() handler in
StatusController that mirrors forward cycling logic
- Added English translation for "Show/cycle all branch logs (reverse)"
The implementation uses modulo arithmetic with proper handling of
negative indices to ensure seamless backward cycling through the
available log visualization options.
When .git/info directory does not exist (can happen with bare clones
or manual deletion), the Exclude function failed with 'no such file
or directory'. Added os.MkdirAll to create the directory before
opening the exclude file.
Added integration test exclude_without_info_dir that removes .git/info
before attempting to exclude a file.
The worktrees tab now displays the checked-out branch (or detached HEAD
state) for each worktree, making it much easier to see which worktree
holds which branch.
This is useful when you need to "unlock" a branch that's occupied by
another worktree: you can now clearly see which worktrees are on a
branch vs detached, without having to select each one individually.
Also rename the "(main)" label to "(main worktree)" to avoid confusion
with the common "main" branch name, and move it after the branch column.
Change working tree files and commit files panels to use filtering
(reducing the list) instead of search (highlighting matches). This
matches the behavior of other filterable views.
The text filter matches against the full file path, not just the
filename, which is more useful for navigating large directory trees.
When toggling a directory for a custom patch while a text filter is
active, only the visible filtered files in the directory are affected,
consistent with how staging a directory in the files panel works.

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.

I always press 'd' in the patch building view, expecting that I can do
exactly what I can do in the staging view, to find out I need to go
space -> ctrl+p -> d and I think it's time to honour the muscle memory
and support this convenience keybinding.
Only mention resetting the patch when there actually is one. This way users have
to read less text in the normal case, and the added note hopefully stands out
more if there is one. Also, separate the note from the previous text by a blank
line.
"Remove" can be confusing when a deleted file is selected; in this cases it
actually "un-removes" it. "Discard" hopefully makes it clearer that we are
talking about the change to a file, and not the file itself.
Paths added to ignore/exclude files need to be prefixed with a forward
slash to point to a specific file in the directory tree.
Without that prefix a file at root called `file` (added to `.gitignore`
as `file`) would match with `./file` and `./src/file`.
I've optimised for muscle memory backwards compatibility here:
- Outside interactive rebase: press 'f' then instead of a confirmation
panel, a menu appears where you can choose to keep the selected commit's
message
- Inside interactive rebase: press 'f' then press 'c' to see the menu
for keeping the message, where if you press 'c' again it will retain the
current message. so 'fcc' is the chord to press.
We're also now showing the -C flag (which is what enables the behaviour)
against the todo.
I've picked the 'c' keybinding because 'C' was taken and it corresponds
to the flag. Previously that showed a warning about a change in
keybinding for cherry picking but it's been ages since we've made that
change so I'm happy to retire it.
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 move the selection down by the number of commits that were reverted (to keep
the same commits selected). However, this only happens after refreshing, which
has rendered the main view with the wrong commit, so we need to render it again
after moving the selection.
There are many other callers of MoveSelection in LocalCommitsController, but all
of them happen before the refresh. Revert is special because it needs to move
the selection after refreshing, e.g. when reverting the only commit of a branch.
This is not really super important because we are very unlikely to assign a key
such as esc or up/down to a menu item. However, users might do this in a custom
commands menu, and in that case it is important that the builtin keys still
work; or they might remap those builtin commands to other keys, in which case
they might conflict with single-letter keys in normal menus.
The test shows two problems: a <down> keybinding is not removed from a menu item
(the 'y' binding is removed though, which is correct), and keybindings such as
'j' and 'H' don't work. We will fix both of these separately in the following
commits.
We want to test the order in which the commits are listed in the error message.
For one of the tests the order is already as we want it, but for the other it's
not (we want them to show up in log order). We'll fix this in the next commit.
It is a bit generic, it seems that users sometimes set it for other reasons, and
then they are confused why they don't see anything. Use a more specific name
instead.
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.
