Git limits its tree diff by the pathspec before it looks for renames, so
a directory only ever gets one end of a rename whose other end is outside
it. Nothing is left to pair up, and the file turns into an addition or a
deletion that the commit doesn't contain.
Pass the other end along with the directory. This is bounded by the
number of renames that cross the directory's boundary, so it costs
nothing at all for the vast majority of commits.
Restricting the diff to the files that a filter leaves visible drops the
delete-side entry of a staged rename, so git shows the file as an
addition instead. Its commit files counterpart already passes both paths;
this brings the files panel in line.
Pathspec limiting happens before rename detection in git's tree diff, so
filtering the diff to a directory hides the delete-side entry of a rename
whose other end is outside that directory. Git then has nothing to pair
up, and reports a file moved into the directory as an addition and one
moved out of it as a deletion.
Selecting a directory is supposed to filter the commit's diff down, never
to change it, so both are wrong.
When several files have conflicts, resolving one of them makes it vanish
from the files panel as soon as it is auto-staged, and it only comes back
once the last conflict is resolved and the filter turns off again. By
then it sits among all the other changed files of the merge, so it is
hard to find the ones whose resulting diff you still wanted to check.
So remember which files had conflicts while the conflicted-files filter
is on, and keep showing them once they are resolved. This is the general
solution that 39513d244d called for; that commit only helped for the
case of a single conflicted file.
The consequence is that the selection no longer moves on to the next
conflicted file when one is resolved: it stays on the file you just
resolved, which shows you its diff right away.

Not only is this nicer code (and more idiomatic at least in this code
base), but it also avoids linter warnings about missing preallocations
(lo.Map does preallocate the result array).
When a rebase (or multi-commit cherry-pick or revert) stops with a
conflict, it is often useful to look at the diff of the "<-- CONFLICT"
commit to double-check that the conflict resolution matches the diff of
the original commit. To make that easier, select that commit
automatically.
This doesn't change anything, we just pin down the selection behavior
around conflicts; we are going to change that behavior, and these tests
will make it obvious how when they change in the next commit.
When there is a single conflicting file left to be resolved, lazygit
dismisses the conflicted-files-only filter when the file no longer has
conflict markers. However, the selection moved to the top, which is
annoying because very often it is useful to look at that file's
resulting diff once more to confirm that conflicts were resolved
correctly, and finding it again can be cumbersome when there are many
changed files. So keep it selected.
Of course, this only helps for the last (or only) conflicted files; when
there are multiple, a resolved file disappears from the panel until all
are resolved, which makes it hard to double-check the resulting diffs.
Doing it afterwards is not easy because you'd have to remember which
files were conflicting. This needs a different solution, but for the
special case of only a single conflicting file this is already a big
improvement.
We show this with a worktree icon (which is only shown when nerd fonts
are used, so turn these on), but also we strip the trailing `/` that
"git status" reports, so that it shows as a file rather than a directory
with a bogus file in it.
The reason for adding the test is that we are going to touch the logic
that determines whether an item in the Files panel is a linked worktree,
and this guards against regressing.
Besides the misleading error about submodules, the command crashes when
it runs before the first files refresh has come in: the file tree
doesn't exist yet at that point, and staging all of a tree that isn't
there dereferences a nil root node. That is easy to hit in a big repo,
where `git status` takes a moment while the panel sits there empty.

The stage-all command acts on the whole file tree, and nothing stops it
from doing that when the tree is empty. It ends up in the branch that
explains why a submodule couldn't be staged, which has nothing to do
with what the user did.

Since scrolling the selection into view became opt-in, five places have
had to be fixed by hand after the fact, none of them with a test. Cover
them now: making the scrolling automatic has to keep all five working,
and once it does, the hand-added scroll calls can go.
Two of them assert that the selection is visible rather than on an exact
scroll position, because the panel they look at changes height along the
way (filtering mode switches to half screen), or because what matters is
only that the commit we jumped to can be seen.

This is the other place that manages its own scroll position: while a
drag extends the selection to a line below the viewport, the view stays
put, and the drag autoscroller scrolls it one line at a time for as long
as the pointer stays there. Making the scroll automatic would centre the
selection instead, i.e. jump the view rather than scroll it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The one behaviour that made scrolling the selection into view opt-in in
the first place — a background refresh must not yank the view back to a
selection the user scrolled away from — has never been covered by a test.
It's about to become the one case that the automatic scrolling has to
suppress, so cover it first.
Getting there needs two things from the test harness: mouse wheel events,
which are the only way to scroll a list panel without moving the
selection, and a way to trigger a background refresh. The periodic
routine that issues it is turned off in tests, and turning it on would
mean waiting for its timer and hoping it fires while we're looking, so
drive the refresh directly instead.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
We are about to make list panels scroll their selection into view
automatically. Page up and down are one of the few places that manage
the scroll position themselves, keeping the selection at the edge of the
viewport rather than in its middle, and nothing covers that today.
Asserting on it needs an exact scroll position assertion; only
OriginYAtLeast existed so far.

Ask git for the attribute of every conflicted file whenever we load the
file status, so that we recognize the markers it actually wrote. Files
that are set up this way are precisely the ones whose regular content
tends to contain marker-looking lines, so matching a run of at least
seven characters instead is not an option: we'd take the file's own
content for markers and then never consider its conflicts resolved.
One `git check-attr` call covers all conflicted files at once; asking per
file would take seconds when hundreds of files are conflicted, and it
would hurt worst on Windows, where spawning a process is expensive.
Because the lookup rides along with the file status, it costs nothing
when there are no conflicts, and editing .gitattributes during a merge
takes effect on the next refresh.
When a file's conflict markers aren't seven characters long we don't
recognize them at all. Two things go wrong: we consider the file's
conflicts resolved, so we stage it and offer to continue the merge a
moment after stopping at it; and pressing enter on it shows its diff
instead of the merge conflicts view, leaving no way to resolve it in
lazygit.
Running lazygit in a .git dir got you told you were in a bare repo,
which you weren't: the worktree was sitting right there, one directory
up. git's own convention is that a git dir called .git belongs to the
directory holding it — that's how `git worktree list` names the main
worktree — so ask that directory, and if it is a worktree, open the repo
we were really being asked about.
The git dirs that aren't called .git keep the answer they had. A linked
worktree's and a submodule's do have a worktree, but nothing we look at
says where, so we would be guessing; a bare repo's has none to find.

Entering a submodule clears GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE, as it must: they
say where the superproject is. But the stack we push the superproject
onto so that escape brings us back only held its path, and for a repo
opened with --git-dir/--work-tree the path leads nowhere — git can't
find a repo there. Escaping out of a submodule of a dotfile repo failed
with "not a git repository", or, if some unrelated repo happened to lie
above the work tree, quietly switched to that one instead.
Push the environment onto the stack along with the path, taken from the
repo paths rather than from the process env, so that it also covers a
repo we worked the location out for ourselves.

git finds a repo by looking for a .git in the directory a command runs
in. Lazygit runs its commands in the work tree, so that normally works —
but not when the git dir lives somewhere else entirely, which is what
core.worktree and --work-tree are for. Lazygit chdir'd into such a work
tree and then ran commands that couldn't see any repo from there, so
opening a repo with core.worktree set panicked on startup. It only
worked with --git-dir because that leaves GIT_DIR in the environment for
every command to inherit.
Work out at startup whether git can find the repo from its work tree,
and when it can't, put GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE on every command the
repo's builder produces. As with the working directory the builder pins
(527124d0e0), these also go into the process env — subprocesses don't
come through the builder — but the commands don't read them from there,
because the process env belongs to whichever repo we have switched to
since.
Working out whether git can find the repo means asking git, rather than
reading the .git file, whose contents can spell the same directory
differently than git does. The extra query is skipped for a repo whose
git dir is simply its .git directory, which is nearly all of them.

`git worktree list` reports the main worktree as the common git dir with
a trailing "/.git" removed, which equals the working tree only when the
git dir sits inside it. In a submodule, a bare repo, or a repo using
core.worktree it doesn't, so comparing the reported path against the
working tree path matches nothing: no worktree is recognized as current
or as main. Most visibly, inside a submodule lazygit claimed we were in
a linked worktree named after the submodule, and offered to remove that
"worktree".
Comparing git dirs identifies a worktree unambiguously, so use that.
A worktree whose directory is gone has no git dir to compare, and there
we still have nothing better than its path.
The submodule tests were asserting the linked-worktree suffix in the
status view; it is gone now, and the repo name still says which
submodule we're in.

A failing setup step called Shell.fail, which panicked. Tests run as
parallel subtests, so that panic aborted the entire test binary: one bad
fixture cost us the results of all ~500 tests, and the failure was
reported as a stack trace rather than against the test that caused it.
Keep panicking to skip the remaining setup steps -- they would only
produce follow-on failures -- but recover in createFixture and return the
message as that test's error. All three clients already propagate an
error from a test, so they report it the way they report any other
failure.
For a long time lazygit has used the term "custom pager" to refer to
what's really a "diff renderer". A pager is a program that allows you to
view output page by page (hence the name), e.g. less; lazygit's custom
diff renderers are not pagers. It used the term only because the feature
is implemented using git's GIT_PAGER env var, but that's an
implementation detail.
Rename the 'git.pagers' config to 'git.diffRenderers', and restructure
its elements while we're at it to make things clearer:
- Add a 'type' field to explicitly specify which type of diff renderer
it is (the two fundamentally different ones are 'stdinFilter' and
'extDiff').
- Add a third type, 'rawGit', which has an 'args' field that makes it
easy to use 'git --color-words' as a custom renderer
- Unify the old 'pager' and 'externalDiffCommand' fields to a single
'command' field for both types
Existing config files are migrated automatically.
While a commit drag is in progress, escape now aborts it: the drag
state and the drop indicator are discarded and the mouse capture is
released, so nothing happens when the button is eventually released.
Otherwise escape keeps its normal meaning.
Reuse the drag autoscroller for commit drags. Scrolling stops once the
insertion point reaches the end of the allowed range in the scroll
direction, so during a rebase the view doesn't keep scrolling once the
last insertion position among the todos has been reached.
Pressing the left button on the current selection now starts a drag
that moves the selected commits, both in the normal commits view and
for todos during an interactive rebase. A press anywhere else falls
through to the usual click handling, so dragging from an unselected
line still creates a range selection, and releasing without having
moved collapses the selection to the pressed commit like a plain click
would.
While dragging, the insertion point follows the pointer: rows below
the dragged block insert after the pointed-at commit, rows above it
insert before it, and during a rebase the destination is limited to
the contiguous block of movable todos around the selection. gocui
moves the view cursor along with the pointer, so each drag event moves
it back to keep the original selection highlighted.
The move happens on release. The model may have been refreshed during
the drag, so the dragged commits are located again by their identity
(hash, subject, todo action); if they no longer form a unique
contiguous block, the drop is ignored rather than guessing.
Give the list views the same edge autoscroll during drag selection
that the staging view already has; the new mouse-release binding stops
the autoscroll when the drag ends.
Dragging with the left button held now extends the selection from the
pressed line, exactly like moving with shift+up/down does. We use the
non-sticky flavor so that the range collapses on the next plain cursor
movement, again matching the keyboard behavior.
The binding is only registered for contexts that support range selection
in the first place; dragging in other lists continues to do nothing.
When the pointer reaches the edge of the view during a drag (or leaves
the view entirely, which mouse capture makes possible), keep scrolling
and extending the selection: slowly on the innermost edge row, faster
on the outermost row, and very fast beyond. Scrolling starts after a
short delay so that a drag merely passing near the edge doesn't scroll.
When the view loses focus mid-drag (e.g. because a popup appeared),
cancel the autoscroll and the mouse capture.
Add press/move/release primitives next to the existing Click. The test
driver remembers the last reported position so a release doesn't have
to repeat the coordinates, and RepeatMouseMove lets a test verify that
a held-button motion event within the same cell has no effect.
I'm not a skilled UI designer, so I suspect there may be even better
options, but it's definitely already better than the raw ASCII "---" we
had before.
Put the line only at the beginning because it looks bad if the line
after the label is misaligned when labels don't have the same width
(e.g. "Remote" vs. "Local" in the divergence view).
This fixes the problem described in the previous commit; we no longer
capture the selection at the start of the refresh. There's no reason to
do that (we don't do it for branches either). It is enough to capture
the selection in the final bounce, before we assign the new model slice.
When clicking in the commits view of lazygit running in an unfocused VS
Code window, VS Code first sends us the focus-in event and then the
mouse-click. The focus-in refresh captures the selection when it starts,
then we handle the mouse click and you briefly see the clicked row
getting selected, but then the selection flashes back to the original
row as the refresh restores it when done.
Moving a todo rewrites the todo file and advances the selection
synchronously, but the commits model is only rebuilt by the refresh. A
second press arriving before that grabs the swapped-with todo from the
stale model at the advanced index and moves it back, so holding the key
to move a todo several slots misbehaved. Use RefreshBlockingInput so the
second press is buffered and replayed once the moved todo list is in
place.

Moving a todo up or down rewrites the todo file and advances the
selection synchronously, but the commits model is only rebuilt by the
refresh, which finishes in the background. A second keypress arriving
before that reads the pre-move model at the advanced selection index —
that's the todo the first move swapped with, so the second press moves
that one back instead of moving the selected todo further. Two rapid
presses (e.g. from holding the key down) thus amount to a net no-op.
The two presses also spawn two racing refreshes whose model updates can
land in either order, so the todo list can even end up disagreeing with
the todo file. That's why the test continues the rebase and asserts the
resulting commit order instead of the displayed list: the rebase replays
the file, which is deterministic.
The test documents this currently broken behavior; the fix comes next.

A refresh from the UI thread returns immediately and applies its model
and view updates as queued UI-thread callbacks. A key pressed before
those have run is handled against the stale, pre-refresh state. For most
keys that's harmless, but some handlers turn that state into git
commands: pressing space twice in quick succession in the staging panel
builds the second patch from the already-applied diff and fails with
'patch does not apply', because the refresh after the first press is
what moves the selection to the next stageable hunk.
Notably, this is not just a regression of the recent change that made
UI-thread refreshes non-blocking; the window was merely much narrower
before. A blocking refresh parked the UI thread while the scopes'
bounces were queued, and the event loop drains pending keyboard input
with priority over queued user events, so a key pressed during the
blocked window still beat the queued state updates. The guarantee that
the next keypress sees post-refresh state had already ended when the
scopes' state updates moved from worker-side mutex-guarded writes to
UI-thread bounces.
Fix it with the input-blocking mechanism we already use for commit
surgery, exposed as a new RefreshBlockingInput entry point: it begins
blocking events synchronously in the calling handler, and ends the
block from a callback that the finishing step queues behind the
refresh's own updates. Keys pressed while the refresh is in flight are
buffered and replayed, in order, against the fully refreshed state;
since a replayed key's handler re-enters this same path, a burst of
keypresses applies sequentially, each one seeing the previous one's
refresh. Unlike the old blocking refreshes, this doesn't freeze the UI
thread: rendering, spinners, resizing, and mouse scrolling keep working
while input is withheld.
Blocking input is opt-in per call site rather than the default for all
UI-thread refreshes, because most refreshes (the focus-in and startup
refreshes, say) don't produce state that the next keypress depends on,
and blocking on them would delay typing for no reason. It should also be
limited to quick, narrow-scoped refreshes: a full refresh, or any scope
that pulls in COMMITS, can take very long in large repos and should
usually not hold up input.
The staging panel's stage/discard/edit-hunk refreshes use it now.
Pressing space twice in quick succession in the staging panel is supposed
to stage two hunks: the refresh triggered by the first press rebuilds the
panel's diff and moves the selection to the next stageable hunk, and the
second press stages that.
Since we made UI-thread refreshes non-blocking, the second press is
handled as soon as it arrives, while that refresh is still in flight. It
then reads the stale pre-refresh diff, builds the first hunk's patch
again, and git apply fails with 'patch does not apply' because those
lines are already in the index.
The test documents this currently broken behavior; the fix comes next.

The test driver waits for lazygit to become idle after every keypress, so
tests could never exercise what happens when a key arrives while the
previous key's processing is still in flight — for example while the
refresh triggered by the previous key hasn't updated the model yet. Real
users type faster than that all the time.
PressRapidly injects all its keys back to back and waits for idle only
once at the end, so the second and later keys are queued before the first
one's processing has finished. The next commit uses this to demonstrate a
bug in exactly that scenario.

To spot slow or anomalous tests across CI runs, record each test's run
duration when LAZYGIT_TEST_TIMING is set (to a file path);
run_integration_tests.sh prints them at the end, sorted by slowest
first. CI sets it for all integration jobs.
The harness appends to a file rather than writing to stdout/stderr
because `go test` captures those and only surfaces them with -v, which
would drown the signal in every test's verbose logs.

When lazygit exits but leaves behind a subprocess that inherited its
stderr pipe and has detached from the pty, cmd.Wait() blocks in
awaitGoroutines waiting for that pipe to reach EOF -- which never
happens while the straggler is alive. With no WaitDelay set, that wait
is unbounded, so a single leaked process hangs the whole test binary
until the 10-minute global timeout fires and panics. Worse, the timeout
discards whatever lazygit wrote to stderr before exiting (a panic, a
-race report), which is exactly the output needed to diagnose the
failure.
This surfaces under -race, where lazygit runs slow enough to widen the
window for a spawned command to still be alive when lazygit quits, and
it's a blocker for enabling the race detector on CI.
Bound the wait with cmd.WaitDelay so Wait force-closes the pipe and
returns ErrWaitDelay instead of hanging, surface the captured stderr as
the error (falling back to the wait error when nothing was printed), and
kill the child's process group on failure so a straggler can't linger
into a later test or pile up across a run.

Now that we solved all known concurrency issues and our tests should be
100% deterministic, reduce MaxAttempts to 1 so that tests fail
immediately. We don't want to paper over existing flakiness any more.
With gui.sidePanels, a panel's gocui window is named after its first
tab, so when branches is grouped behind, say, worktrees, there is no
window called "branches" at all. The transient contexts
(remoteBranches, subCommits, commitFiles) initially point at the
windows "branches" and "commits", and layout() showed their views
whenever the window-to-view map named them as their window's current
view — without checking that the window exists in the layout. Since
the map is seeded from the contexts themselves, a window that no
panel owns keeps naming a transient view as its current view, and
that view had just been parked at full screen size (the fallback for
views in unlaid-out windows), so it covered every side panel below it
in z-order.
Only show a transient view if its window actually received dimensions
in this layout.
Fixes#5823.

Some tests assert that a specific commit subject does or doesn't occur
in the main view; interactive_rebase/outside_rebase_range_select.go is
an example for this, it asserts `t.Views().Main().Content(
DoesNotContain("commit 06"))`. The problem with this kind of assertion
and our test commit naming scheme is that the diff view begins with a
"commit <hash>" line, and when that hash happens to start with "06" the
assertion matched it and failed spuriously. This was usually masked by
our MaxAttempts=2 that we currently use for integration tests (it's
quite unlikely that the commit gets a hash beginning with "06" twice in
a row). However, we want to get to a state where we can set MaxAttempts
to 1, so make this more robust by changing our naming scheme.
When loading the files of a commit we passed --no-renames, so a rename
showed up as a separate delete and add rather than a single R entry.
That made it impossible to work with a rename that also modifies the
file: the modifications were spread across a full deletion and a full
addition instead of appearing as the handful of lines that actually
changed. The staging view already shows renames and lets you stage
their hunks, so there was no good reason for the patch builder to
differ; the flag was only there because the commit-file parser couldn't
cope with the rename record format.
Switch the commit-file loader and the per-file diff to --find-renames,
teach the parser about the rename record (a status followed by two
paths), and carry the previous path through the patch builder so the
diff for a rename is loaded with both paths, which is what makes git
emit the rename in the first place.
A whole-file selection keeps the rename in the header, so the rename
moves or is discarded together with the file's contents. A partial
selection instead strips the rename metadata and points the header at
the new path, so applying the patch only changes the contents and
leaves the rename in place; the blob index line is kept so that a 3-way
apply can still fall back to a blob merge.
Discarding a renamed file from a commit now discards both the new and
the old path, so the new file is removed and the old one is restored.
Changing the rename similarity threshold refreshes the commit files
panel too, not just the files panel, so that a rename can turn into a
delete and add or back. It is disabled while building a patch, however,
because the patch builder caches each file's diff by path and would
desync if a rename changed into a delete and add underneath it.
Finally, copying a file's diff from the commit files panel now passes
both paths for a rename, so the copied diff shows the rename instead of
a new-file add.

Pressing `d` on a worktree only ever removed the worktree, leaving its branch
behind even though deleting it too is often what you want. Turn the confirmation
into a menu: "Remove worktree", "Remove worktree and delete branch", and "Remove
worktree and delete local and remote branch". The branch-deleting items come
after the plain removal (they do more harm if picked by accident); both are
greyed out for a detached-HEAD worktree, and the local-and-remote one is also
greyed when the branch has no upstream. The plain menu pick is the confirmation,
so the standalone "remove worktree?" prompt is gone (and its now-dead
translation string with it); the dirty-worktree force prompt and the
unmerged-branch warning still appear when relevant.
