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.
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).
With the recently added external change detection, it happens more often
now that we refresh the commits list because an agent made a commit in
the background. In this case, if we keep the selection index the same,
it now points at a different commit, making the main view show a
different commit too, which is confusing and annoying. To fix this,
track the selected commit and range anchor by hash before reloading,
then restore those rows if both hashes still exist. This also allows us
to get rid of some bespoke code that did this for the specific cases of
reverting a commit or cherry-picking commits, because those are now
handled by the generic mechanism.
After a successful paste DidPaste is true, hiding the "X commits copied"
indicator but leaving the buffer populated. From the user's perspective
this looks like a clean slate, so a new shift+C should start fresh. It is
important to reset DidPaste first, before populating the buffer with the new
commits, because otherwise each loop iteration would overwrite the previous one
since Add() rebuilds the set via SelectedHashSet() which returns empty while
DidPaste is set.
After a successful paste, the "X commits copied" indicator hides and
DidPaste is set, but the buffer is not cleared. If the user then
range-selects multiple commits and presses shift+C, every Add() call
rebuilds the set via SelectedHashSet(), which returns empty while
DidPaste is true; each iteration of the copy loop therefore overwrites
the previous one and only the last commit in the range survives.
The commit graph used '⏣' (U+23E3 BENZENE RING WITH CIRCLE) for merge
commits and '◯' (U+25EF LARGE CIRCLE) for regular commits. Both have
very poor coverage in popular monospace fonts:
- '⏣' lives in the Misc Technical block and is essentially absent from
every common monospace font (Source Code Pro, JetBrains Mono, Fira
Code, Cascadia Code, Hack, Iosevka, Menlo, Consolas, Monaco, IBM
Plex Mono, Ubuntu Mono, Noto Sans Mono, Inconsolata). It is always
drawn from a system fallback font.
- '◯' is the late-addition LARGE CIRCLE codepoint. It is present in
some fonts (Cascadia, Fira Code, Hack, Iosevka, Menlo, Noto Sans
Mono) but missing from many others, including Source Code Pro and
most Nerd Font derivatives based on it.
This is why the graph renders inconsistently across platforms even
when the same monospace font is configured: each OS picks a different
fallback font (Apple Symbols on macOS, Segoe UI Symbol on Windows,
Noto/DejaVu/Symbola on Linux), and the substituted glyphs differ in
shape, weight, and advance width. '◯' is also East Asian Ambiguous
width, so some terminals render it wider than one cell, exaggerating
the misalignment.
Replace the symbols with codepoints from the foundational 1991
Geometric Shapes block, which has far broader font coverage:
- Merge: '◎' U+25CE BULLSEYE -- concentric circles, the visually
closest cousin to the previous benzene-ring glyph.
- Commit: '○' U+25CB WHITE CIRCLE -- the same hollow-circle silhouette
as before, just a more universally available codepoint.
The new symbols are present in the font directly in significantly
more cases; and when fallback is still required, they are universally
well-drawn (unlike '⏣', which many fallback fonts also lack).

I can't do my usual "add the tests first, with EXPECTED/ACTUAL sections that
document the bug" method here, because the tests would hang without the bug
being fixed.
We need two different tests here: one where a cherry-picked commit simply
becomes empty "by itself", because the change is already present on the
destination branch (this was only a problem with git versions older than 2.45),
and the other where the cherry-pick stops with conflicts, and the user resolves
them such that no changes are left, and then continues the cherry-pick. This
would still fail even with git 2.45 or later. The fix is the same for both cases
though.
The tests show that the selection behavior after skipping an empty cherry-picked
commit is not ideal, but since that's only a minor cosmetic problem we don't
bother fixing it here.
At the same time, we change the defaults for both of them to "date" (they were
"recency" and "alphabetical", respectively, before). This is the reason we need
to touch so many integration tests. For some of them I decided to adapt the test
assertions to the changed sort order; for others, I added a SetupConfig step to
set the order back to "recency" so that I don't have to change what the test
does (e.g. how many SelectNextItem() calls are needed to get to a certain
branch).
Keep the same commit selected, by moving the selection down by the number of
cherry-picked commits. We also do this when reverting commits, and it is
possible now that we use a sync waiting status.
We also need to turn the refresh that happens as part of CheckMergeOrRebase into
a sync one, so that the commits list is up to date and the new selection isn't
clamped.
We are about to change the selection behavior when cherry-picking, and it's good
to have tests that document in what way it changes in the next commit.
This is very old; I can only guess that this was added at a time where today's
list column handling wasn't in place yet, so the space was needed to separate
columns. This now causes a gap of two spaces between the rebase todo column and
the author column, which I'm sure wasn't intended. Funny that I never noticed.
We do this because
- it's closer to what you would do on the command line
- it simplifies the code a bit
- it will allow us to support cherry-picking merge commits.
When you are in the middle of a rebase, and you cherry-pick a commit which
conflicts, it helps to be clear on whether you are prompted to continue the
cherry-pick or the rebase.
After pasting commits once, we hide the cherry-picking status (as if it had been
reset), and no longer paint the copied commits with blue hashes; however, we
still allow pasting them again. This can be useful e.g. to backport a bugfix to
multiple major version release branches.
It can be tedious after each cherry-pick opearation to clear the
selection by pressing escape in order for lazygit to stop displaying
info about copied commits. Also, it seems to be a rare case to
cherry-pick commits to more than one destination.
The simplest solution to address this issue is to clear the selection
upon paste.
The only exception is a merge conflict. Initially, I wanted to clear
selected commits in this scenario too. During a discussion we found out
that it may be convenient to have the copied commits still around.
Aborting the rebase and pasting the commits in the middle of a branch
can be a valid use case.
This requires us to change the 'v' keybinding for paste to something else,
now that 'v' is used globally for toggling range select. So I'm using
'shift+v' and I'm likewise changing 'c' to 'shift+c' for copying, so
that they're consistent.
We will need to clearly communicate this change in keybindings.
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.
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.
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
