When the useHunkModeInStagingView config is on and you enter the staging view
with hunk selection enabled, it is confusing to see "a: Select hunk" in the

Instead of killing git processes when we no longer need them, close
their ptys or output pipes; this makes them terminate more gracefully,
and it avoids the problem of left-over index.lock files that the next
git command chokes on.
To fix the index.lock problem, only the first two commits of the branch
are needed. I decided to go a bit further and add more commits to make
similar changes to other places in the code; these might be considered
more risky than necessary, and we might decide to drop or revert them if
they cause problems. But it does allow us to remove the kill package
dependency altogether.
Fixes#2050.
As we just did for tasks, close their stdout pipe instead. This makes the called
process terminate more gracefully.
This isn't a change that we *need* to make, it's just a bit nicer.
Now that we close a task's stdout pipe when we are done with it, it should
terminate by itself at that point, so there's no longer a need to kill it. This
way, called processes get a chance to terminate gracefully rather than being
killed with SIGKILL; in particular, this allows git to clean up its index.lock
file if it created one.
- Lazygit creates a temp dir at startup, and is supposed to clean it up
after itself; however, this only worked for the main executable, not
when lazygit was spawned as a helper daemon for interactive rebases, so
we would leak a temp dir every time the user pressed `e` or `ctrl-j` or
other similar commands.
- All these temp dirs were created at top level in `/tmp` and thus
pollute it; now we create them inside a `/tmp/lazygit/` folder. This is
no longer quite as important now that the first bug is fixed, but might
still be useful when lazygit crashes, or when running many instances at
once in different terminal tabs.
Resolves#4781.
This is no longer as important now that we fixed the stale, left-over temp dirs
caused by daemon mode, but it could still be helpful in case lazygit crashes, or
if you have many instances of lazygit running.
The function that called us has just created a temp dir, and scheduled a defer
to remove it again; by calling os.Exit we short-cut this defer, and don't clean
up the temp dir. There is no reason to exit here, the calling function will
return after having called us.
- **PR Description**
Previously we would call git merge-base with the upstream branch to
determine where unpushed commits end and pushed commits start, and also
git merge-base with the main branch(es) to see where the merged commits
start. This worked ok in normal cases, but it had two problems:
- when filtering by path or by author, those merge-base commits would
usually not be part of the commit list, so we would miss the point where
we should switch from unpushed to pushed, or from pushed to merged. The
consequence was that in filtering mode, all commit hashes were always
yellow.
- when main was merged into a feature branch, we would color all commits
from that merge on down in green, even ones that are only part of the
feature branch but not main. (See #3796)
To fix these problems, we switch our approach to one where we call git
rev-list with the branch in question, with negative refspecs for the
upstream branch and the main branches, respectively; this gives us the
complete picture of which commits are pushed/unpushed/merged, so it also
works in the cases described above.
And funnily, even though intuitively it feels more expensive, it
actually performs better than the merge-base calls (for normal usage
scenarios at least), so the commit-loading part of refresh is faster now
in general. We are talking about differences like 300ms before, 140ms
after, in some unscientific measurements I took (depends a lot on repo
sizes, branch length, etc.). An exception are degenerate cases like
feature branches with hundreds of thousands of commits, which are slower
now; but I don't think we need to worry about those too much.

This makes it easier to use the full ref in the git merge-base call, which
avoids ambiguities when there's a tag with the same name as the current branch.
This fixes a hash coloring bug in the local commits panel when there's a tag
with the same name as the checked out branch; in this case all commit hashes
that should be yellow were painted as red.
GetMergeBase is always called with a full ref, so it shouldn't need the
ignoringWarnings hack (which is about ignoring warnings coming from ambiguous
refs).
Also, separate stdout and stderr, which would also have solved the problem. We
no longer really need it now, but it's still cleaner.

This is very similar to what we did for pressing space in #4386; we

files, but in this case we never want to include untracked files,
regardless of the filter
- likewise, pressing ctrl-f to find a base commit for fixup stages all
files for convenience, but again, this should only stage files that are
already tracked

In #4663 we added information in the tags panel about the selected tag
(whether it's annotated etc). Unfortunately this introduced a
performance regression in repositories with many tags, so revert this
and implement the feature in a slightly different way to avoid the
performance hit.
Fixes#4770.
It seems that `git for-each-ref` is a lot slower than `git tag --list` when
there are thousands of tags, so revert back to the previous method, now that we
no longer use the IsAnnotated field.
This reverts commit b12b1040c3.
Storing it in the Tag struct makes loading tags a lot slower when there is a
very large number of tags; so determine it on the fly instead. On my machine,
the additional call takes under 5ms, so it seems we can afford it.
These should have been added when we started rendering this information in
e5b09f34e0; apparently I was too lazy back then. Adding them now to guard
against breaking it in the next commit.
I'm adding these to the CRUD tests, it doesn't seem worth adding separate tests
just for these assertions.
- **PR Description**
Fixes an index out of bounds panic that occurs when lazygit starts up in
repositories with a large number of tags on a single commit.
When a commit has thousands of tags, the git log output can become
malformed or truncated, causing the `extractCommitFromLine` function to
receive fewer than the expected 8 null-separated fields. This results in
an index out of bounds panic when trying to access `split[5]` and
beyond.
Closes#4765
- **PR Description**
Rewording or dropping commits was disabled when filtering commits by
path or author. This used to be necessary a long time ago for technical
reasons, but these reasons went away with the merge of #2552, so enable
them now.
Technically we could enable a few more, but I chose not to because some
might be surprising or confusing in filtering mode. For example,
creating a fixup commit would work (shift-F), but the newly created
commit might not show up if it doesn't match the filter. Similarly,
pressing `f` to fixup a commit into its parent would work, but that
parent commit might not be visible, so users might expect to be fixing
up into the next visible commit.
Fixes#2554.

Show the `[0]` keybinding in the title of the main view, to make it more
discoverable.
Also, move it to the "global" section of the keybindings menu.
And several minor fixes and cleanups, see individual commits for
details.
Fixes#4738.
We show it only if the "showPanelJumps" config is on, although the
focus-main-view command is not technically part of the panel jump keys; but it
looks similar.
I left this out originally because it's not needed for the status "dashboard"
view (except on really tiny screens); however, it *is* useful after pressing `a`
to show the all branches log, and even more so for people who use the
"statusPanelView: allBranchesLog" config. And it doesn't really hurt for the
dashboard view either, so just enable it always rather than making a distinction
which view we are showing.
This is not a behavior change, we already include these in the menu, but that's
because of a bug that we will fix in the next commit.
I find it useful to see these commands, especially for rarely-used custom
commands that you don't want to waste a keybinding on.

When entering staging (or patch building) for an added or deleted file,
it doesn't make sense to use hunk mode, because pressing space would
stage/unstage the entire file, and if the user wanted to do that, they
would have pressed space in the Files panel. So always use line mode for
added/deleted files by default, even if the useHunkModeInStagingView
user config is on.

- **PR Description**
When filtering by file path for a file that was renamed at some point,
we show all commits even before the rename, which is great; however when
you selected a commit before the rename, the diff was empty. The commit
for the rename itself would show the file as added rather than renamed.
This PR fixes that; along the way, we fix the filtered reflog display,
which is supposed to filter by path like the commits view does, but this
didn't work.
Fixes#4510.
When shift-selecting a range of commits across a file rename in
filtering-by-path mode, the diff currently shows an added file rather than a
renamed file. Add a test that demonstrates this, we'll fix this in the next
commit.
When filtering for a file path we use the --follow option for "git log", so it
will follow renames of the file, which is great. However, if you then selected
one of the commits before a rename, you didn't see a diff, because we would pass
the original filter path to the "git show" call.
To fix this, call git log with the --name-status option when filtering by path,
so that each commit reports which file paths are touched in this commit;
remember these in the commit object, so that we can pass them to the "git show"
call later.
Be careful not to store too many such paths unnecessarily. When filtering by
folder rather than file, all these paths will necessarily be inside the original
filter path, so detect this and don't store them in this case.
There is some unfortunate code duplication between loading commits and loading
reflog commits, which I am too lazy to clean up right now.
These are very similar in that they call RunAndProcessLines on a git log command
and then process lines to create commits. Extract this into a common helper
function. At the moment this doesn't gain us much, but in the next commit we
will extend this helper function considerably with filter path logic, which
would otherwise have to be duplicated in both places.
It is good practice to use a -- argument even if no further arguments follow.
Doesn't really make a difference for this particular command though, I think.
I don't know why this function argument was added, but I don't like unnecessary
indirections, so I'm removing it as SubCommitsHelper has access to everything it
needs to do it itself.
Recycle reflog commits only for the non-filtered ones.
If we're not filtering, FilteredReflogCommits and ReflogCommits are the same. If
we then enter filtering and get reflog entries again, and pass a
lastReflogCommit, we'd recycle the previous FilteredReflogCommits, which are
unfiltered, so that's no good. Work around this by simply never using the
recycle mechanism when getting the filtered reflog commits.
We could do better by remembering what the last filter path or author was, and
only suppressing the recycling when it changed; but that's more complexity than
I want to add, so hopefully this is good enough.
Using the filtered one is probably not a good idea. It didn't do much harm
because the split of ReflogCommits and FilteredReflogCommits doesn't really work
right now (FilteredReflogCommits is always the same as ReflogCommits, even in
filtering mode), but we'll fix this in the next commit.
I can only guess what happened here: in aa750c0819, this code to manually load
the reflog commits was added, to make sorting branches by recency work when the
reflog is filtered by path. At that time we didn't have separate ReflogCommits
and FilteredReflogCommits models yet. Then, FilteredReflogCommits was introduced
(in 8822c409e2), probably for the very purpose of being able to get rid of this
again; but then it was forgotton to actually get rid of it.
The funny thing is that the introduction of FilteredReflogCommits happened in
the very next commit, 15 minutes later.
The test shows that selecting a commit before the rename shows an empty diff,
and selecting the rename itself shows an added file rather than a rename.
This broke with the introduction of the age in the stashes list in bc330b8ff3
(which was included in 0.41, so 12 minor versions ago).
This makes it work again when filtering by file, but it still doesn't work when
filtering by folder (and never has). We'll fix that next.
This was not a good idea, and it seems it has never been tested: the --name-only
and -z options don't work well together. Specifically, -z seems to simply cancel
--name-only.
This is not enough to make it work, we'll need more fixes in the next commit.
This reverts commit 50044dd5e0.
The test shows that it doesn't work, the list is empty both when filtering by
file and by folder.
I could have added test cases for these to the unit tests in
stash_loader_test.go instead, but I don't find tests that need to mock git's
output very valuable, so I opted for an integration test even though it takes
much longer to run.
Since filtering switches to half-screen mode in the local commits panel, most
people probably didn't notice, but we do also filter those other views. So when
leaving half-screen mode (but not filtering), you could switch to sub-commits or
stashes, and those would show the filtered view only after the next refresh
(e.g. after a background fetch). It's worse when leaving filtering, because this
goes back to normal screen mode, and you would often see an empty stashes panel
after that (until the next background fetch), which is quite confusing.
I also find it questionable to always switch focus to the commits panel when
entering filtering. If it is initiated from subcommits, reflog, or stashes,
maybe we want to stay there. I'm not changing this now since I'm unsure how much
people rely on the current behavior.
When exiting filtering mode while the focus is not in the local commits panel,
the call to HandleFocus would render the selection in the commits panel as if
the panel had the focus.
The call to HandleFocus was introduced recently in 4981419ba9 in an attempt to
rerender the main view correctly, but it should only have been called when local
commits is the focused context. But instead, we can use PostRefreshUpdate, which
handles this distinction.

Instead of requiring the user to install the right version of the tool
in their .bin folder, create a shim that automatically runs the right
version of the tool. This has several benefits:
- it works out of the box with no setup required (the tool will be
automatically downloaded and compiled the first time it is used)
- no work needed for developers when we bump the golangci-lint version
- it works in working copies that are used in different environments
(e.g. locally on a Mac, or inside a dev container)

This is a small PR that extends the logic added in
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/pull/4704
There were many reports of users accidentally resetting the working tree
using the reset commands and a nice change was added by @stefanhaller to
prompt for confirmation on those actions but the "Nuke working tree"
option was not covered by the PR.
I believe this one is actually one of the most important options to
prompt because it's by default the first one on the list. I myself
triggered it once when trying to discard a single file while unknowingly
having caps-lock enabled as I thought I was confirming the single file
discard option.
## **PR Description**
I added a new feature to checkout to the last branch.
I think it would be convenient to be able to checkout to the last branch
with just one key stroke(`-`) in some cases, such as when switching
between multiple branches during code review.
Off course, I know that you can same thing by entering `"-"` to the text
input of "Checkout by name" or using custom command but I think `git
checkout -` is occasional use case. So I feel this feature can be a part
of default features.
Another advantage of this feature is that you can checkout to the last
branch regardless of cursor position.
Being able to switch branches without worrying about cursor position
reduces stress I think.
We forgot to convert the model indices to view indices in searchModelCommits.
This needs to be done for search results to be highlighted correctly in the
"divergence from upstream" view, which adds "--- Remote/Local ---" entries, and
during a rebase, where we have "--- Pending rebase todos ---" and "--- Commits
---" which offset view indices from model indices.
I have seen cases where during a rebase (two nonModelItems) all entries in
viewIndicesByModelIndex beyond the second nonModelItem were off by 4 rather than
2 as I would expect. The only explanation I have for this is that the function
was called concurrently.
Improve this by working on a local variable and only assign to self at the end;
this is not a real fix for the concurrency issue of course, but it makes it much
less likely to be a problem in practice.
- **PR Description**
In prompts with a suggestions panel (e.g. the "Execute shell command"
window, or the "Filter by path" panel), you can now
- scroll the list of suggestions with the mouse wheel even when the
focus is in the edit field
- click in the suggestions list or in the edit field to switch focus
between them
- double-click a suggestion to trigger it
This doesn't change behavior, just makes the code a little bit easier to
understand: the outermost condition is "do we show a popup and is the mouse
event for some other view than the focused one". Only if that's true do we need
to define the isCommitMessageView function, and check whether both views belong
to the commit message editor.
- **PR Description**
Previously, any click on an already selected line in a list view was
treated as a double click, and triggered the same action as pressing
either enter or space, depending on the view. Improve this by doing
proper double-click detection based on how much time has passed between
clicks.
Fixes#2526.
Previously a click was detected as a double-click whenever the click was on the
already selected line, regardless of how long ago the last click was (or even
when it wasn't selected by clicking at all). Now that gocui supports proper
double-click detection, we can do better.
The rationale for this is the same as in the previous commit; however, for these
functions we only allow a single controller to set them, because they are event
handlers and it doesn't make sense for multiple controllers to handle them.
Trying to do this would previously have the second one silently overwrite the
first one's.
We don't currently have this in lazygit, but I ran into the situation once
during development, and it can lead to bugs that are hard to diagnose.
Instead of holding a list of functions, we could also have added a panic in case
the function was set already; this would have been good enough for the current
state, and enough to catch mistakes early in the future. However, I decided to
allow multiple controllers to attach these functions, because I can't see a
reason not to.
These are never called on the context, they only exist to satisfy the
HasKeybindings interface. But that's wrong, HasKeybindings has nothing to do
with focus handling or rendering the main view. Remove them from that interface
and add them to IController instead.
Similar to what was done in 457cdce61d, and for the same reason.
However, instead of waiting and fixing them one by one as we see them fail, I
decided to go about it more systematically. To do that, I added calls to
`time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)` in all the Shell.Commit* helper functions; this
ensures that all the commits we make get different committer time stamps, making
all these tests fail. With this I'm pretty confident that we're good now.
