We do this for two reasons:
- when popping up a credentials prompt, it looks distracting if the waiting
status keeps spinning while the user is typing the password
- the task that updates the waiting status periodically would keep the program
busy, so integration tests would wait forever for the program to become idle
again
This can be useful when you know that a cherry-picked commit would conflict at
the tip of your branch, but doesn't at the beginning of the branch (or
somewhere in the middle). In that case you want to be able to edit the commit
before where you want to insert the cherry-picked commits, and then paste to
insert them into the todo list at that point.
This is useful to disable items that are not applicable right now because of
some condition (e.g. the "delete branch" menu item when the currently
checked-out branch is selected).
When a DisabledReason is set on a menu item, we
- show it in a tooltip (below the regular tooltip of the item, if it has one)
- strike through the item's key, if it has one
- show an error message with the DisabledReason if the user tries to invoke the
command
This prevents commands like "go test ./..." from looking into it, and it
prevents VS Code's Problems panel from showing errors about the go files in that
folder.
I often find it more convenient to start a lazygit process in a terminal window
and then attach to it, rather than have VS Code launch one for me.
Note that this doesn't work with "go run main.go". It does work with "make run",
however.
Make sure there's only one lazygit process running, otherwise VS Code will open
a chooser with all the running processes to pick one from, but it's pretty much
impossible to tell which is which.
As far as I can tell, there's not much of a difference in behavior between the
two. The advantage of doing it this way is that you can attach a debugger to the
running lazygit process; see next commit.
Add co-author to commits
Add addCoAuthor command for commits
- Implement the `addCoAuthor` command to add co-authors to commits.
- Utilize suggestions helpers to populate author names from the suggestions list.
- Added command to gui at `LocalCommitsController`.
This commit introduces the `addCoAuthor` command, which allows users to easily add co-authors to their commits. The co-author names are populated from the suggestions list, minimizing the chances of user input errors. The co-authors are added using the Co-authored-by metadata format recognized by GitHub and GitLab.
This should already have been done when adding the "View divergence from
upstream" command, but now we're going to add yet another item to the menu that
is unrelated to setting or unsetting the upstream.
So far this hasn't been necessary because all defaults were zero values. We're
about to add the first non-zero value though, and it's important that it is
initialized correctly for users who have a state.yml that doesn't have it yet.
