- **PR Description**
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.

I didn't enable the `showDivergenceFromBaseBranch` config by default yet
(even though I find it very useful) because I'm worried that people
might find the display too noisy. Drawing the divergence information
right-aligned helps reduce that noise a little bit.

This is very similar to what we did for pressing space in #4386; we
forgot that the "stage all" command has the same issue.
Also, fix two other commands that stage all files under the hood:
- when continuing a rebase after resolving conflicts, we auto-stage all
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

This way we don't have to update the text and all translations every
time we bump the version.
Remove the year from the error text, it's cumbersome to update and I
don't find it very important to have in the message.
Also remove the invitation to file an issue; I don't find it very likely
that we are going to relax the minimum git requirement again.

- **PR Description**
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
Like message, extraField can get very long (when there are thousands of tags on
a single commit), so move it to the end; this allows us to truncate overly long
lines in the output and still get all the essential fields.

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.

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.
