Previously we used a single-line prompt for a tag annotation. Now we're using the commit message
prompt.
I've had to update other uses of that prompt to allow the summary and description labels to
be passed in
Previously, we would only show the authors based on local commits, but sometimes you want to set a commit author
to that of a commit on another branch. Now, so long as you've viewed the branch's commits, the author will appear
as a suggestion.
Previously we applied a right-align on the first column of _all_ menus, even though we really
only intended for it to be on the first column of the keybindings menu (that you get from pressing
'?')
The true issue was that we were focusing the line in the view before it gets resized in the layout function.
This meant if the view was squashed in accordion mode, the view wouldn't know how to set the cursor/origin to
focus the line.
Now we've got a queue of 'after layout' functions i.e. functions to call at the end of the layout function,
right before views are drawn.
The only caveat is that we can't have an infinite buffer so we're arbitrarily capping it at 1000 and dropping
functions if we exceed that limit. But that really should never happen.
It said "Press tab to toggle focus", which is wrong for people who remapped
their togglePanel key binding to something else. Print the actual key binding
instead.
We have a use-case to rebind 'm' to the merge action in the branches panel. There's three ways to handle this:
1) For all global keybindings, define a per-panel key that invokes it
2) Give a name to all controller actions and allow them to be invoked in custom commands
3) Allow checking for merge conflicts after running a custom command so that users can add their own 'git merge' custom command
that matches the in-built action
Option 1 is hairy, Option 2 though good for users introduces new backwards compatibility issues that I don't want to do
right now, and option 3 is trivially easy to implement so that's what I'm doing.
I've put this under an 'after' key so that we can add more things later. I'm imagining other things like being able to
move the cursor to a newly added item etc.
I considered always running this hook by default but I'd rather not: it's matching on the output text and I'd rather something
like that be explicitly opted-into to avoid cases where we erroneously believe that there are conflicts.
Save has been deprecated for a while, push is the recommended way to save a
stash. Push has been available since 2.13, so we can use it without problems.
I've simplifiied the code because it was too complex for the current requirements, and this fixed the misc/initial_open
test which was occasionally failing due to a race condition around busy tasks
The global counter approach is easy to understand but it's brittle and depends on implicit behaviour that is not very discoverable.
With a global counter, if any goroutine accidentally decrements the counter twice, we'll think lazygit is idle when it's actually busy.
Likewise if a goroutine accidentally increments the counter twice we'll think lazygit is busy when it's actually idle.
With the new approach we have a map of tasks where each task can either be busy or not. We create a new task and add it to the map
when we spawn a worker goroutine (among other things) and we remove it once the task is done.
The task can also be paused and continued for situations where we switch back and forth between running a program and asking for user
input.
In order for this to work with `git push` (and other commands that require credentials) we need to obtain the task from gocui when
we create the worker goroutine, and then pass it along to the commands package to pause/continue the task as required. This is
MUCH more discoverable than the old approach which just decremented and incremented the global counter from within the commands package,
but it's at the cost of expanding some function signatures (arguably a good thing).
Likewise, whenever you want to call WithWaitingStatus or WithLoaderPanel the callback will now have access to the task for pausing/
continuing. We only need to actually make use of this functionality in a couple of places so it's a high price to pay, but I don't
know if I want to introduce a WithWaitingStatusTask and WithLoaderPanelTask function (open to suggestions).
We had a race condition due to refreshing branches in two different places, one which refreshed reflog commits
beforehand. The race condition meant that upon load we wouldn't see recency values (provided by the reflog commits)
against the branches
Turns out we're just running our refresh functions one after the other which isn't ideal but we can fix that separately.
As it stands this wait group isn't doing anything.
I don't know if this is a hack or not: we run a git command and increment the pending action
count to 1 but at some point the command requests a username or password, so we need to prompt
the user to enter that. At that point we don't want to say that there is a pending action,
so we decrement the action count before prompting the user and then re-increment it again afterward.
Given that we panic when the counter goes below zero, it's important that it's not zero
when we run the git command (should be impossible anyway).
I toyed with a different approach using channels and a long-running goroutine that
handles all commands that request credentials but it feels over-engineered compared to this
commit's approach.
The remote branches controller was using its own escape method meaning it didn't go through the flow of cancelling
an active filter. It's now using the same approach as the sub-commits and commit-files contexts: defining a parent
context to return to upon hittin escape.
Given that we now persist search/filter states even after a side context loses focus, we need to make it really
clear to the user that the context is currently being searched/filtered
This is a pickle: initially I wanted it so that a filter would cancel automatically if the current context lost focus.
But there are situations where you want to retain the focus, e.g. when a popup appears, or when you view the commits
of a branch. The issue is that when you view the commits of a branch, the branches context is removed from the context
stack. Even if this were not the case, you could imagine going branches -> sub-commits -> files -> sub-commits, where
in that case branches would definitely be off the stack upon navigating to the files context.
So because I'm too lazy to find a proper solution to this problem, I'm just making it so that filters in side contexts
are retained unless explicitly cancelled.
There's another edge case this commit handles which is that if I'm in the sub-commits context via the branches context
and start a search, then navigate to the reflog context and hit enter to get to the sub-commits context again, I need
to cancel the search before I switch. Likewise with the commit files context.
For consistency with the previous commit.
Note that this menu entry is used both for unstaged and for staged changes, and
for staged changes it is not quite accurate, as we are not discarding changes in
that case (just unstaging them). Not sure it's worth fixing this; it's still
better than "Delete", anyway.
The title was saying "Unstage lines", which was just wrong. The text said
"Delete lines", which can be seen as a bit misleading; we are only discarding
the changes to the selected lines, not deleting the lines themselves.
For consistency, rename the config variable skipUnstageLineWarning accordingly.
When stopping in a rebase because of a conflict, it is nice to see the commit
that git is trying to apply. Create a fake todo entry labelled "conflict" for
this, and show the "<-- YOU ARE HERE ---" string for that one (in red) instead
of for the real current head.
We don't actually use it to do map lookups; we still iterate over it in the same
way as before. However, using a map makes it easier to patch elements; see the
next commit.
We use CommitFilesController also for the files of commits that we show
elsewhere, e.g. for branch commits, tags, or stashes. It doesn't make sense to
discard changes from those (for stashes it might be possible to implement it
somehow, but that would be a new feature), so we disallow it unless we are in
the local commits panel.
Discarding changes to an entire directory doesn't quite work correctly in all
cases; for example, if the current commit added files to the directory (but the
directory existed before) then those files won't be removed.
It might be possible to fix the command so that these cases always work for
directories, but I don't think it's worth the effort (you can always use a
custom patch for that), so let's display an error for now.
I don't know why we were setting the initial context to CurrentSideContext
and not just CurrentContext in the first place. If there is no current context
in either case it'll default to the files context. So the only issue is if
we anticipated that some random context would be focused and we didn't want to
activate that. But I can't think of any situation where that would happen.
The root commit is special in that it has no parents. So we need to add a pipe that's headed for a commit
that doesn't actually exist i.e. the mythical empty tree commit. We're using the actual hash of that
pseudo-commit, but it's not being read anywhere.
The menuFromCommand option is a little complicated, so I'm adding an easy way to just use the command output directly,
where each line becomes a suggestion, as-is.
Now that we support suggestions in the input prompt, there's less of a need for menuFromCommand, but it probably still
serves some purpose.
In future I want to support this filter/valueFormat/labelFormat thing for suggestions too. I would like to think a little more
about the interface though: is using a regex like we currently do really the simplest approach?
We have not been good at consistent casing so far. Now we use 'Sentence case' everywhere. EVERYWHERE.
Also Removing 'Lc' prefix from i18n field names: the 'Lc' stood for lowercase but now that everything
is in 'Sentence case' there's no need for the distinction.
I've got a couple lower case things I've kept: namely, things that show up in parentheses.
Go really doesn't like us doing anything inheritance-y: it does not support open recursion meaning
it's really hard to re-use code. As such, here we're falling back to conditional logic.
This fixes an issue where our ListContextTrait was calling FocusLine which was intended to be
overridden by ViewportListContextTrait, but the subclassed function wasn't being called. I'm
not actually sure how this went wrong given that it was working fine in the past, but at any rate,
the new code is easy to follow.
By constructing an arg vector manually, we no longer need to quote arguments
Mandate that args must be passed when building a command
Now you need to provide an args array when building a command.
There are a handful of places where we need to deal with a string,
such as with user-defined custom commands, and for those we now require
that at the callsite they use str.ToArgv to do that. I don't want
to provide a method out of the box for it because I want to discourage its
use.
For some reason we were invoking a command through a shell when amending a
commit, and I don't believe we needed to do that as there was nothing user-
supplied about the command. So I've switched to using a regular command out-
side the shell there
If a given menu item has an associated keybinding of 'enter', hitting enter won't actually execute
that item unless your cursor is on it. This creates confusion, and so we're going to use a strikethrough
style to communicate that the keybinding is reserved for something else.
The reason for this is that now our labels for navigation keybindings are larger so they
take up more realestate. It's not the kind of thing a user needs to be told anyway,
anybody is going to try out hjkl and the arrow keys when a TUI opens up.
We could map from <up> to the single character up unicode rune but given you can rebind this stuff
I'd rather keep it simple
The option doesn't have any affect in these views, so we don't need to toggle it
here. But the problem was the HandleFocus call at the end: this would activate
the wrong view, so we need to avoid it here.
Show an error if the user tries to turn the option on, to let them know that it
doesn't work here.
It's not possible to reliably stage things into a custom patch when "ignore
whitespace" is on, so always treat it as off here (like we do in the staging
panel).
It looks like this is a regression that was introduced in 8edad826ca.
Our refresh code may try to push a context. It does this in two places:
1) when all merge conflicts are resolved, we push a 'continue merge?' confirmation context
2) when all conflicts of a given file are resolved and we're in the merge conflicts context,
we push the files context.
Sometimes we push the confirmation context and then push the files context over it, so the user
never sees the confirmation context.
This commit fixes the race condition by adding a check to ensure that we're still in the
merge conflicts panel before we try escaping from it
I don't see a reason why this restriction to have the selection be always
visible was necessary. Removing it has two benefits:
1. Scrolling a list view doesn't change the selection. A common scenario: you
look at one of the commits of your current branch; you want to see the how
many'th commit this is, but the beginning of the branch is scrolled off the
bottom of the commits panel. You scroll down to find the beginning of your
branch, but this changes the selection and shows a different commit now - not
what you want.
2. It is possible to scroll a panel that is not the current one without changing
the focus to it. That's how windows in other GUIs usually behave.
We now refresh the staging panel when doing an unscoped refresh, so that if we commit from the staging panel we escape
back to the files panel if need be. But that causes flickering when doing an unscoped refresh from other contexts,
because the refreshStagingPanel function assumes that the staging panel has focus. So we're adding a guard at the top
of that function to early exit if we don't have focus.
When cycling history, we want to make it so that upon returning to the original prompt, you get your text back.
Importantly, we don't want to use the existing preservedMessage field for that because that's only for preserving
a NEW commit message, and we don't want the history stuff of the commit reword flow to overwrite that.
When we use the one panel for the entire commit message, its tricky to have a keybinding both for adding a newline and submitting.
By having two panels: one for the summary line and one for the description, we allow for 'enter' to submit the message when done from the summary panel,
and 'enter' to add a newline when done from the description panel. Alt-enter, for those who can use that key combo, also works for submitting the message
from the description panel. For those who can't use that key combo, and don't want to remap the keybinding, they can hit tab to go back to the summary panel
and then 'enter' to submit the message.
We have some awkwardness in that both contexts (i.e. panels) need to appear and disappear in tandem and we don't have a great way of handling that concept,
so we just push both contexts one after the other, and likewise remove both contexts when we escape.
This begins a big refactor of moving more code out of the Gui struct into contexts, controllers, and helpers. We also move some code into structs in the
gui package purely for the sake of better encapsulation

This broke with 40f6767cfc77; the symptom is that starting lazygit with a git
arg (e.g. "lazygit log") wouldn't activate the requested panel correctly. While
it would show in the expanded view, it didn't have a green frame, and keyboard
events would go to the files panel.
This fixes two problems with the "amend commit with staged changes" command:
1. Amending to a fixup commit didn't work (this would create a commmit with the
title "fixup! fixup! original title" and keep that at the top of the branch)
2. Unrelated fixup commits would be squashed too.
The added integration test verifies that both of these problems are fixed.
We already show "merge" todo entries when starting an interactive rebase with
--rebase-merges outside of lazygit. Changing the type of a merge entry to "pick"
or "edit" doesn't make sense and shouldn't be allowed. Earlier in this branch we
have started to show "update-ref" entries, these can't be changed either (they
can be moved, though).
You might argue that it should be possible to change them to "drop", but in the
case of "update-ref" this doesn't make sense either, because "drop" needs a Sha
and we don't have one here. Also, you would then be able to later change it back
to "pick", so we would have to remember that this isn't allowed for this
particular drop entry; that's messy, so just disallow all editing.
It used to work on the assumption that rebasing commits in lazygit's model
correspond one-to-one to lines in the git-rebase-todo file, which isn't
necessarily true (e.g. when users use "git rebase --edit-todo" at the custom
command prompt and add a "break" between lines).
This is useful when working with stacked branches, because you can now move
"pick" entries across an update-ref command and you can tell exactly which
branch the commit will end up in.
It's also useful to spot situations where the --update-refs option didn't work
as desired. For example, if you duplicate a branch and want to rebase only one
of the branches but not the other (maybe for testing); if you have
rebase.updateRefs=true in your git config, then rebasing one branch will move
the other branch along. To solve this we'll have to introduce a way to delete
the update-ref entry (maybe by hitting backspace?); this is out of scope for
this PR, so for now users will have to type "git rebase --edit-todo" into the
custom command prompt to sort this out.
We will also have to prevent users from trying to turn update-ref commands into
other commands like "pick" or "drop"; we'll do this later in this branch.
The main reason for doing this (besides the reasons given for Status in the
previous commit) is that it allows us to easily convert from TodoCommand to
Action and back. This will be needed later in the branch. Fortunately,
TodoCommand is one-based, so this allows us to add an ActionNone constant with
the value 0.
This is unrelated to the changes in this PR, but since we are doing the same
thing for the commit.Action field in the next commit, it makes sense to do it
for Status too for consistency. Modelling this as an enum feels more natural
than modelling it as a string, since there's a finite set of possible values.
And it saves a little bit of memory (not very much, since none of the strings
were heap-allocated, but still).
We print this to the terminal after lazygit quits rather than showing it in a
panel at startup, so as to not annoy people too much. Hopefully it will still be
prominent enough this way.
The "open" command is supposed to behave in the same way as double-clicking a
file in the Finder/Explorer. The concept of jumping to a specific line in the
file doesn't make sense for this; use "edit" instead.
Previously we would have tried to do the rebase, resulting in a long and
somewhat cryptic error message from git; now we check ourselves and show a less
intimidating message.
We refresh the view after reading just enough to fill it, so that we see the
initial content as quickly as possible, but then we continue reading enough
lines so that we can tell how long the scrollbar needs to be, and then we
refresh again. This can result in slight flicker of the scrollbar when it is
first drawn with a bigger size and then jumps to a smaller size; however, that's
a good tradeoff for a solution that provides both good speed and accuracy.
All callers in this file now use reverseOnGenerate=false and
keepOriginalHeader=true, so hard-code that in the call to ModifiedPatchForLines
and get rid of the parameters.
There's no reason to have two different ways of applying patches for whole-file
patches and partial patches; use --reverse for both. Not only does this simplify
the code a bit, but it fixes an actual problem: when reverseOnGenerate and
keepOriginalHeader are both true, the generated patch header is broken (the two
blobs in the line `index 6d1959b..6dc5f84 100644` are swapped). Git fails to do
a proper three-way merge in that case, as it expects the first of the two blobs
to be the common ancestor.
It would be possible to fix this by extending ModifiedPatchForLines to swap the
two blobs in this case; but this would prevent us from concatenating all patches
and apply them in one go, which we are going to do later in the branch.
We are going to add one more flag in the next commit.
Note that we are not using the struct inside patch_manager.go; we keep passing
the individual flags there. The reason for this will become more obvious later
in this branch.
This is the working tree state at the time the model commits were loaded. This
avoids a visual glitch with the "You Are Here" label appearing at times when it
is not supposed to.
Instead, derive it from context at display time (if we're rebasing, it's the
first non-todo commit). This fixes the problem that unfolding the current
commit's files in the local commits panel would show junk in the frame's title.
Along the way we make sure to only display the "<--- YOU ARE HERE" string in the
local commits panel; previously it would show for the top commit of a branch or
tag if mid-rebase.
It's not so much the total number of commits that matters here, it's just
whether we are on the first one. (This includes the other condition.)
This allows us to get rid of the condition in rebase.go.
Instead of rebasing from the commit below the current one and then setting the
current one to "edit", we rebase from the current one and insert a "break" after
it. In most cases the behavior is exactly the same as before, except that the
new method also works if the current commit is a merge commit. This is useful if
you want to create a new commit at the very beginning of your branch (by editing
the last commit before your branch).
