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.
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 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.
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.
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.

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.
Until now every keybinding config field was a plain string. That meant a user
couldn't ask for two keys to invoke a command — the config silently accepted
only one form.
Convert every string-typed field across all 13 KeybindingXxxConfig structs to
Keybinding so the union type extends to every command. Defaults wrap their
single-key value in Keybinding{...} so the generated Config.md still renders one
scalar key per binding.
The alt fields keep their separate Binding registrations for now: this commit
does not yet introduce the merge mechanism that folds them into the main field —
that comes in a follow-up. Consumers previously calling opts.GetKeys on a string
field now call opts.GetKeys on the Keybinding, or take .String() / Keys[0] where
a single value is needed.
Adds a Keybinding.String helper for rendering, schema-generator work that
inlines the Keybinding union into each consuming property, and a unit test
covering the user-facing scalar/sequence YAML forms for quit.
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).

This is useful when cancelling out of the commit panel mid-sentence (after
having typed the space for the next word); when entering the commit message
panel again, the space was gone and you had to type it again. Small thing, but
it just seems better to resume the panel in exactly the state that you left it
in. (Which we actually don't do; we don't remember the cursor position, or which
of the subject/description panels was active. That would be a separate
improvement.)
The save path and the load path used to be asymmetric. On save, the textarea
getters applied strings.TrimSpace, which stripped any leading blank lines, a
trailing newline after the cursor, or indentation on the very first line of the
description — all of which are legitimate user content. On load,
SplitCommitMessageAndDescription did TrimSpace on the description as well, and
the preserved message was routed through that same git-format split because
HandleCommitPress passed it as OpenCommitMessagePanel's InitialMessage. The
result: every round-trip through "escape and reopen" silently mutated the
message.
The fix is to treat our own preservation file as its own format, distinct from
git's canonical "summary\n\nbody" format:
- The textarea getters return raw content. strings.TrimSpace moves to the one
place that still needs it: the empty-summary check in HandleCommitConfirm (git
itself strips trailing whitespace and blank lines, so no pre-trim is needed
before -m).
- SplitPreservedCommitMessage / SetPreservedMessageInView split on the single
"\n" our Join uses, without any trimming — truly lossless.
- SplitCommitMessageAndDescription keeps its git-format behavior but replaces
TrimSpace with TrimPrefix("\n"), so it strips only the blank-line separator
and leaves body indentation intact.
- HandleCommitPress now mirrors HandleWIPCommitPress: it no longer passes the
preserved message as InitialMessage. OpenCommitMessagePanel resolves the
preserved content itself, uses it for display via the preservation-format
setter, and stores it as the initial message so the close-time "did the user
change anything?" check still correctly detects a cleared panel.
- GetInitialMessage no longer trims. With raw getters on both sides of the
comparison, trimming here caused spurious non-matches (e.g. for preserved
content with trailing whitespace). The original motivation — matching a
"WIP: " prefix with trailing space — works unchanged.
- UpdateCommitPanelView becomes dead code and is removed; its one remaining
caller (history cycling, always git-format) goes directly through
SetMessageAndDescriptionInView.

Set the sort order's default from the former foldersFirst to mixed, so this is a
change in behavior. I find this useful because it now matches git's order, so if
you look at the diff of a commit, the TOC at the top has the same order as the
file tree you see when entering the commit.
Only mention resetting the patch when there actually is one. This way users have
to read less text in the normal case, and the added note hopefully stands out
more if there is one. Also, separate the note from the previous text by a blank
line.
"Remove" can be confusing when a deleted file is selected; in this cases it
actually "un-removes" it. "Discard" hopefully makes it clearer that we are
talking about the change to a file, and not the file itself.
We move the selection down by the number of commits that were reverted (to keep
the same commits selected). However, this only happens after refreshing, which
has rendered the main view with the wrong commit, so we need to render it again
after moving the selection.
There are many other callers of MoveSelection in LocalCommitsController, but all
of them happen before the refresh. Revert is special because it needs to move
the selection after refreshing, e.g. when reverting the only commit of a branch.
We want to test the order in which the commits are listed in the error message.
For one of the tests the order is already as we want it, but for the other it's
not (we want them to show up in log order). We'll fix this in the next commit.
We move the code to push the branches context into CheckoutRef, this way it
works consistently no matter where we call it from. Previously, checking out
remote branches or tags would switch to the branches view, but checking out a
commit did not.
Note that it now also takes effect for undoing or redoing a checkout, which may
be a bit questionable; but I still think it makes sense for this, too.
Our logic to decide if a file needs to be checked out from the previous commit
or deleted because it didn't exist in the previous commit didn't work for
submodules. We were using `git cat-file -e` to ask whether the file existed, but
this returns an error for submodules, so we were always deleting those instead
of reverting them back to their previous state.
Switch to using `git ls-tree -- file` instead, which works for both files and
submodules.
Similar to what was done in 457cdce61d, and for the same reason.
However, instead of waiting and fixing them one by one as we see them fail, I
decided to go about it more systematically. To do that, I added calls to
`time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)` in all the Shell.Commit* helper functions; this
ensures that all the commits we make get different committer time stamps, making
all these tests fail. With this I'm pretty confident that we're good now.
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).
CheckMergeOrRebase calls Refresh already. However, it does an async refresh by
default, so we must turn this into a sync refresh so that moving the selection
down by one works even for the very first commit in history. Also, we must add
an explicit call to FocusLine so that the view selection is in sync with the
model selection; previously this was taken care of by the PostRefreshUpdate call
that happens as part of a refresh.
The function would return "head/branchname" when there was either a tag or a
remote with the same name.
While fixing this we slightly change the semantic of the function (and of
determineCheckedOutBranchName, which calls it): for a detached head it now
returns an empty string rather than the commit hash. I actually think this is
better.
The icon will appear when there's a tag with the same name as the current branch
(that's what we're testing here), or even when there's a remote with the same
name. I'm not adding a test for this latter case, but this was actually how I
discovered the issue.
It is useful to see if the conflicted commit was a "pick" or an "edit". What's
more, we're about to add support for showing cherry-picks and reverts, and
seeing that a conflicted commit was a revert is important because its diff is
backwards compared to the diff of the conflicting files in the Files panel.
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.
We removed prefilling the skipHook prefix in b102646b20 with the intention of
making it clearer that using the prefix in normal commits and typing `w` to skip
hooks are now two independent features.
It turns out that some people liked it with prefilling the prefix and perceive
it as a regression, so put it back in.
But only if we don't have a preserved message; this is an important use case,
when you try to make a normal commit, the hook fails, and then you want to make
the same commit with skipping the hook, but with the same message that you
already typed.
The test shows a misbehavior: even though the diff shows "-one" and "+three",
meaning that "three" is the state we want to check out, we get "one". The reason
is that the checkout file command doesn't pay attention to range selections, it
only looks at the "moving end" of the range. Had we created the range by
selecting "two" and then pressed shift-up to "three", we would have gotten the
expected result.
