Reading a change in lazygit and saying something about it on GitHub
means finding the line again in the browser: open the pull request, find
the commit, find the file, scroll to the line. The line is already under
the cursor here.
Bind G in the focused main view, the key the commits panel opens the
pull request with, to open it at the line the selection is on. The URL
names the commits whose diff is on screen, so that the line numbers of
the diff are the ones the page shows, the file by the SHA-256 of its
repo-relative path, and the line by the side of the diff it is on: R for
the new version of the file, L for the old one, where a deleted line is.
GitHub documents none of that; the form was read off the URLs its own
pages carry.
One commit is named by its hash. A range of them is named by the commit
the range starts after and the commit it ends at, the form the chooser
above a pull request's files uses. The commit a range starts after is
the parent of its oldest commit; where the range starts where the pull
request itself does, that parent is none of the pull request's own
commits, and the keyword BASE stands for it.
Which branch's pull request that is depends on the panel beneath. The
commits panel lists the commits of the checked-out branch, the
sub-commits panel those of the branch drilled into, and the commit files
panel shows the files of a commit from either. In a stack of branches,
each with a pull request of its own, those lists include the commits of
the branches below, and each of those commits is in the pull request of
its own branch. So the command looks upwards from the commit for the
nearest head of a branch with a pull request, and takes the listed
branch if it finds none. Panels showing a diff that no pull request has
a view of don't answer, and the command isn't offered over their diffs
at all.
Neither is it offered over a diff that is not the commit's own, where
the line numbers on screen are not the ones the page shows: a diff
against another ref in diffing mode, and the custom patch, whose lines
sit at the numbers the patch gives them.
A pull request holds only the commits of its branch that are pushed, and
its pages say they can't find any other commit. So the command refuses
where a commit of the diff is not one of the pull request's. Amend a
commit in the middle of the branch, and the diffs of the commits below
it still open; the ones above it sit on hashes the remote doesn't have.
A commit from before the branch, in a main branch already, is refused
too, and so is a range of commits that reaches across the head of a
branch in a stack, since its commits are in two pull requests. Whether a
commit is pushed is known only for the upstream of the listed branch.
For a branch lower in a stack, that is right as long as the branches of
the stack are pushed together.
Only GitHub pull requests are known, since that is where the pull
request data comes from. The whole path can't be exercised headlessly:
no pull request reaches the model without a GitHub token, so the test
covers where the command is offered and the three reasons it refuses.
The URL is unit-tested instead, both the anchor of a line and the way
the commits are named, and so is the choice of a branch in a stack.

The commit files context works out the two ends to diff from the ref (or
range of refs) it was entered for. The panels that hold those refs
themselves — commits, sub-commits, stash, reflog — are about to need the
same two ends, to hand out the diff behind what they render into the
focused main view. Pull the derivation out of the context so they can ask
for it rather than each spelling out the parent-of-from rule again.

The focused main view is about to show a selection, but only where there
are diff lines to act on: a branch's commit log or the status dashboard
has nothing to select. Rather than have the main view guess from the
rendered content, let the side panels say so, since each of them knows
what it renders.
The classification is finer than a yes/no because acting on a selection
means different things per panel — staging into the working tree for the
files panel, taking lines into a custom patch for the commit panels — and
those actions want the same one answer as this. Only whether a panel
shows a diff at all is read for now.

Change working tree files and commit files panels to use filtering
(reducing the list) instead of search (highlighting matches). This
matches the behavior of other filterable views.
The text filter matches against the full file path, not just the
filename, which is more useful for navigating large directory trees.
When toggling a directory for a custom patch while a text filter is
active, only the visible filtered files in the directory are affected,
consistent with how staging a directory in the files panel works.

We will need a user config in the file tree in the next commit, and passing the
entire common is the easiest way to do that while ensuring hot-reloading when
users change the config while lazygit is running.
There are two ways to jump to the editor on a specific line: pressing `e` in the
staging or patch building panels, or clicking on a hyperlink in a delta diff. In
both cases, this works perfectly in the unstaged changes view, but in other
views (either staged changes, or an older commit) it can often jump to the wrong
line; this happens when there are further changes to the file being viewed in
later commits or in unstaged changes.
This commit fixes this so that you end up on the right line in these cases.
We make the name of the GetSelectedRefRangeForDiffFiles very specific on purpose
to make it clear that this is only for switching to diff files, so the
implementations can make assumptions about that (unlike GetSelectedRef, which is
used for different purposes and needs to stay more generic).
Right now it doesn't do very much yet, but it's still worth it even in this
state, I'd say. The function is going to become a bit longer in the next commit,
though.
We want to add an additional method to ISearchableContext later in this branch,
and this will make sure that we don't forget to implement it in any concrete
context.
ListContextTrait.OnSearchSelect was introduced in 138be04e65, but it was never
called. I can only guess that a planned refactoring wasn't finished here.
Something dumb that we're currently doing is expecting list items
to define an ID method which returns a string. We use that when copying
items to clipboard with ctrl+o and when getting a ref name for diffing.
This commit gets us a little deeper into that hole by explicitly requiring
list items to implement that method so that we can easily use the new
helper functions in list_controller_trait.go.
In future we need to just remove the whole ID thing entirely but I'm too
lazy to do that right now.

Show unstaged file names in default colour
Previously, we had the following rules:
* file names were in red when unstaged or partially staged
* directory names were in red if unstaged, yellow if partially staged,
and
green if fully staged
Red text on a black background can be hard to read, so instead I'm
changing it
so that unstaged files have their names in the default text colour.
I'm also making it so that partially staged files are in yellow, just
like how
partially staged directories are yellow (same deal with the commit files
view
when adding to a custom patch).
So the new rules are:
* unstaged files/directories use the default colour
* partially staged files/directories are in yellow
* fully staged files/directories are in green
I've also done a refactor on the code clean up some dead code from when
the file tree
outline was drawn with box characters, and I've made it so that the
indentation in
each line is handled inside the function that draws the line rather than
in the recursive
parent function. This makes it easier to experiment with things like
showing the file
status characters on the left edge of the view (admittedly after
experimenting with it,
I decided I didn't like it). Apologies for having a refactor and a
functional change
in the one commit but by the time I was done, I couldn't be bothered
going back and
retroactively splitting it into two halves.

The only time we should call SetSelectedLineIdx is when we are happy for a
select range to be retained which means things like moving the selected line
index to top top/bottom or up/down a page as the user navigates.
But in every other case we should now call SetSelection because that will
set the selected index and cancel the range which is almost always what we
want.
We've been sometimes using lo and sometimes using my slices package, and we need to pick one
for consistency. Lo is more extensive and better maintained so we're going with that.
My slices package was a superset of go's own slices package so in some places I've just used
the official one (the methods were just wrappers anyway).
I've also moved the remaining methods into the utils package.
This begins a big refactor of moving more code out of the Gui struct into contexts, controllers, and helpers. We also move some code into structs in the
gui package purely for the sake of better encapsulation
