When somebody else rebases a stack and force-pushes it, pulling the
topmost branch leaves the branches below it diverged. They can be
updated with `f`, but pushing the stack offers to push the branches
below along with the current one, and pulling should be symmetric.
When pulling, find the branches stacked below the current one that can
be updated without losing anything. These are those that are behind
their upstream branches, and those that diverged from them only because
they were rewritten. If there are any, show a menu that lists them and
offers to update them in addition to pulling the current branch, or to
pull only the current branch. The current branch is pulled as before.
The decision is based on the last fetch, not on a new one, so that the
menu appears right away. If the remote has changed since then, a branch
might not be offered although it could be updated; it then shows as
diverged after the pull, and pulling again offers it. The update itself
fetches the upstream branches and checks them again, so it never loses
commits.
Branches that are checked out in another worktree are not offered,
since updating them would change the files there.
The branches below are updated before the current branch is pulled. If
one of them pointed into the commits that a rebasing pull rebases, the
pull would move it when rebase.updateRefs is set, and updating it
afterwards would fail. If updating them fails, the current branch isn't
pulled.

Pushing a stack and fast-forwarding a range of branches each show their
operation on all the branches involved, with their own copy of the same
code. Pulling a stack will need it too, so move it to BranchesHelper.

After rebasing a stack of branches, every branch of the stack has to be
force-pushed, and so far the only way to do that in lazygit was to check
out each branch in turn and push it. For a stack of a dozen branches
that is a lot of work for a routine task.
When the current branch is pushed and there are branches below it in the
stack that have commits to push, show a menu that offers to push them
along with it. The menu lists the branches and how far each of them has
diverged from its remote branch, so that the user can see what is about
to happen. It doesn't show where each branch goes; the branches panel
doesn't show that for a normal push either. Pushing only the current
branch is the second entry. If any of the branches has diverged from its
remote branch, a single confirmation covers force-pushing all of them.
A branch is offered if its tip is a commit of the current branch that
isn't merged yet, it has an upstream that is stored locally, that
upstream is not gone, and it is ahead of its push destination. Branches
without an upstream are left out because a branch that was never pushed
can't be told apart from one that is meant to stay local. A branch that
is only behind is left out because pushing it would move the remote
branch back to an older commit; the lease doesn't catch that when the
remote-tracking branch is up to date.
Each branch is pushed to where `git push` would push it if it were
checked out, using the destination git reports in the %(push) field.
This honors push.default, remote.pushDefault and
branch.<name>.pushRemote without lazygit having to interpret them.
Branches going to the same remote are pushed in one command, with
--force-with-lease when the user confirmed force-pushing; the lease
checks each ref against its remote-tracking branch, so a coworker's
unseen push is still rejected. The current branch joins that command
when its remote-tracking branch is stored locally. Otherwise it needs a
plain push first, for example with --set-upstream, and that option
would apply to every refspec of a combined command; so in that case it
is pushed on its own as before, and the other branches follow in a
second command.
Pushing the current branch on its own still runs a bare `git push`, so
users who rely on push.default or remote.<name>.push for it see no
change. The push is non-atomic, as git defaults to; if one branch's
lease fails, the others still go through and the error names the one to
look at.

Pushing the current branch has three cases: it has an upstream, it has
none but push.default is "current", or the user is prompted for one.
Each case ends in a push, and the first one also checks whether a force
push is needed. Let the three cases call a common callback instead, and
put the check and the push there. This makes it possible to run the same
three cases with a different callback, so that the branches stacked
below the current one can be pushed along with it.
The check returns false for a branch without an upstream, so the other
two cases behave as before.

PushOpts can only describe a push of the current branch. It takes the
branch's name and the upstream to push it to, and builds a single
refspec from them. Pushing several branches in one command needs one
refspec per branch, so let callers pass the refspecs themselves. The
sync controller, the only caller so far, builds the same single refspec
that PushCmdObj built before.

With sync vs async now derived from the calling thread, the Mode field
and its SYNC/ASYNC constants no longer carry any information: Refresh is
always async, RefreshFromWorker always sync. Drop the field, the type,
and the Mode argument at every call site, and reduce the debug log's
mode name to a plain sync/async derived from calledFromWorker.

A commits refresh does its git work on a worker and then reads the model,
the contexts, and the modes for that work directly from there:
LocalCommits.GetSelectionRangeAndMode/GetLimitCommits/GetShowWholeGitGraph,
Model.Commits/MainBranches/HashPool, the filtering path/author. Those are
owned by the UI thread, which is concurrently running the cursor and render
code, so the reads race it — the dominant, confirmed source of the
commits-scope flakes (the startup ClampSelection vs GetSelectionRangeAndMode
race, for one).
Gather them into an immutable capturedCommitState on the UI thread, before
the git work is dispatched, and have refreshCommitsWithLimit compute from
that snapshot. UI-thread callers capture inline; worker callers can't (a
SYNC/BLOCK_UI refresh parks the UI thread at wg.Wait, so hopping from a
scope sub-worker would deadlock), so the capture is lifted out of the scope
worker into the refresh orchestration, and worker callers announce
themselves with a new RefreshFromWorker entry point that hops the capture to
the UI thread and blocks for it (OnUIThreadAndWait). BLOCK_UI runs the whole
refresh on the UI thread regardless of the caller, so it captures inline
too.
Every refresh issued from a worker that reaches the commits (or branches,
which pulls in commits) scope is converted: the fast-forward, branch/tag
delete, worktree remove/detach, push, reword-via-rebase, author edits,
custom-command, hard-reset-with-autostash, reset-to-ref, fetch-and-checkout,
gpg-stream, post-fetch, and external-change-poller refreshes, plus the
branch checkout and move-commits-to-new-branch refreshes.

Operations that show an inline status ("Pushing", "Fast-forwarding",
"Fetching", …) removed it by relying on the async refresh they trigger
to redraw the view after the item operation had been cleared. That
ordering was never guaranteed: the item operation is cleared on the
worker once the operation's function returns, while the refresh redraws
the item from the UI thread whenever its (asynchronous) git work
happens to finish. If the refresh redrew before the clear, the status
was left on screen with no later redraw to remove it, so the branch (or
tag/remote) stayed stuck showing e.g. "Pushing" indefinitely even though
the operation had completed. This is timing-dependent, which is why it
surfaced as rare, hard-to-reproduce reports and as flaky CI failures.
Fix it by re-rendering in stop() right after clearing the operation,
and by making these refreshes synchronous rather than async. Because a
synchronous refresh has already updated the model and queued its own
redraw by the time stop() runs, and UI-thread callbacks run in order,
the redraw we queue here runs last and draws the up-to-date model with
the status removed. An async refresh couldn't give that guarantee: its
model update might not have landed yet, so the redraw could briefly
flash the pre-operation status.
Pull refreshes through the shared CheckMergeOrRebaseAndSelectHeadCommit,
so that helper becomes synchronous too; its only other caller,
RegularMerge, thereby also refreshes synchronously, which is fine: a
synchronous on-worker refresh is what we want anyway.

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.
I copied all files except dot files (.github and .gitignore), the _examples
folder, and go.mod/go.sum.
At some point we may want to copy the files back to the gocui repo when other
clients (e.g. lazydocker) want to use the newer versions of them.
Refresh is one of those functions that shouldn't require error handling (similar
to triggering a redraw of the UI, see
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues/3887).
As far as I see, the only reason why Refresh can currently return an error is
that the Then function returns one. The actual refresh errors, e.g. from the git
calls that are made to fetch data, are already logged and swallowed. Most of the
Then functions do only UI stuff such as selecting a list item, and always return
nil; there's only one that can return an error (updating the rebase todo file in
LocalCommitsController.startInteractiveRebaseWithEdit); it's not a critical
error if this fails, it is only used for setting rebase todo items to "edit"
when you start an interactive rebase by pressing 'e' on a range selection of
commits. We simply log this error instead of returning it.
I took the set of enabled checks from revive's recommended configuration [1],
and removed some that I didn't like. There might be other useful checks in
revive that we might want to enable, but this is a nice improvement already.
The bulk of the changes here are removing unnecessary else statements after
returns, but there are a few others too.

When pushing a branch that didn't have an upstream yet, we use the command line
git push --set-upstream origin HEAD:branch-name
The HEAD: part of this is too unspecific; when checking out a different branch
while the push is still running, then git will set the upstream branch on the
newly checked out branch, not the branch that was being pushed. This might be
considered a bug in git; you might expect that it resolves HEAD at the beginning
of the operation, and uses the result at the end.
But we can easily work around this by explicitly supplying the real branch name
instead of HEAD.
This might seem controversial; in many cases the client code gets longer,
because it needs an extra line for an explicit `return nil`. I still prefer
this, because it makes it clearer which calls can return errors.
This broke with 81b497d186 (#3387). In that PR I claimed that we never want to
ask for force-pushing if the server rejected the update, on the assumption that
this can only happen because the remote tracking branch is not up to date, and
users should just fetch in this case. However, I didn't realize it's even
possible to have a branch whose upstream branch is not stored locally; in this
case we can't tell ahead of time whether a force push is going to be necessary,
so we _have_ to rely on the server response to find out. But we only want to do
that in this specific case, so this is not quite an exact revert of 81b497d186.
To determine whether we need to ask for force pushing, we need to query the push
branch rather than the upstream branch, in case they are not the same.
Lazygit has two ways to decide whether it needs to ask the user to force-push:
1. if it knows ahead of time that the push will fail because the branch has
diverged, by looking at the incoming/outgoing information that it shows as ↑3↓7.
2. by examining the error that comes back when the push has failed.
The second situation should happen only rarely, because lazygit fetches every
minute by default, so the ↑3↓7 information is usually up to date. It might not
be if the user turned off auto-fetch (or increased the auto-fetch interval).
However, in this case it's almost always harmful to prompt the user to
force-push, because we know that the reason for diverging is that something was
pushed to the remote, and we would wipe it out by force-pushing. In such a
situation, the more likely user action is to pull the remote changes and then
push normally again.
So just remove the second prompt, and replace it by a better error message when
we detect that updates were rejected remotely.
A little bit of history archeology reveals that the second prompt was added at a
time where we didn't have the first one yet, so at that time it made sense to
have it; but when the first prompt was added, we should have removed the second.
This adds a bunch of tooltips to keybindings and updates some keybinding descriptions (i.e. labels).
It's in preparation for displaying more keybindings on-screen (in the bottom right of the screen),
and so due in part to laziness it shortens some descriptions so that we don't need to manage both
a short and long description (for on-screen vs in-menu). Nonetheless I've added a ShortDescription
field for when we do want to have both a short and long description.
You'll notice that some keybindings I deemed unworthy of the options view have longer descriptions,
because I could get away with it.
When pulling/pushing/fast-forwarding a branch, show this state in the branches
list for that branch for as long as the operation takes, to make it easier to
see when it's done (without having to stare at the status bar in the lower
left).
This will hopefully help with making these operations feel more predictable, now
that we no longer show a loader panel for them.
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 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.
