v0.30

Changelog

Features:

• many more places where suggestions are shown as you type in a prompt. For example, when:
  • searching for a file to check its history
  • checking out a branch
  • setting a remote branch to track
  • entering a custom command
• added support for diff3 merge conflict style (thanks @Ryooooooga )
• files in the working tree can now be filtered by staged/unstaged with (thanks @Liberatys )
• gui language can now be set manually with gui.language config key (thanks @Dwarven )
• cherry picked commit colour is now customisable (thanks @samburville )
• you can now define multiple config files to merge into one another, allowing for light/dark theming without having to duplicate other configuration (thanks @mjarkk )
• in the staging panel you can now copy the selected lines to the clipboard (thanks @Hrily )
• jump-to-block keybindings (default 1-5) are now configurable (thanks @samburville )

Bug fixes:

• fixed panic when resolving merge conflicts (thanks @Ryooooooga)
• fixed issues opening files on windows (thanks @Ryooooooga)
• fixed bug where deleting unmerged branches caused issues when not in english (thanks @Ryooooooga)
• fixed crash when removing tracked files (thanks @Ryooooooga)
• better support for different encoding schemes
• patch files are now saved in temp directory to save space (thanks @Ryooooooga)
• fixed various crashes caused by improper quotation in git commands (thanks @Ryooooooga)
• fixed various issues with the commit message editor
• fixed issue where the main panel scrolled back to the top whenever lazygit refreshed
• fixed issue where pressing tab in a confirmation panel would spawn a random panel at the edge of the application
• fixed issue where commits panel would be empty on older git versions (thanks @Ryooooooga)
• As part of an initiative to let the git config drive of lazygit's behaviour, pull logic has been simplified so that now the git config's setting is honoured. Highly recommended: set pull.rebase = interactive and rebase.autoSquash = true so that you can see the commits yet to be rebased when midway through pulling. Note that this means the git.pull.mode lazygit config has been removed
• --follow-tags has been removed from git push, so if you still want that you'll need to set it in your git config with pull.followTags = true

Other Changes:

• file tree view is now shown by default. You can switch to flat view with the backtick key
• if you hide the command log panel from within lazygit, it will stay hidden when you open lazygit again. This spares you from having to hide it manually in your lazygit config.
• improved chinese translation (thanks @btwise and @black-desk )
• updates to polish translation (thanks @HTD )
• lots of new tests added for dealing with remotes (pushing, pulling, fetching, setting upstream, etc)
• fixed some misspellings (thanks @codesoap )

lazygit 0.28 Release notes

Thanks to everybody who filled out the survey at:
- https://forms.gle/AdFEuLy2dikcmK4F7

It's still open so if you want to leave feedback about lazygit please click the link!

Okay what's new in this release?

Command Log Panel

Concerned that you have no idea what git commands lazygit is running under the hood? Even I was starting to wonder myself. Well now there's a command log panel which tells you exactly what's going on. Paradoxically, this makes lazygit a valuable resource for learning how to use git on the command line.

The panel is shrunk to a single row when your terminal pane is small enough so that you have some more space. If there's more room it will be a little larger. You can maximise it by clicking it or pressing '@' and switching to it. You can also hide it for the current session through the menu that comes up when you hit '@'.

If you want to hide it permanently you can add the following to your config (which you can edit by pressing 'o' while the status panel is focused):

gui:
  showCommandLog: false

You can also change the default size of the panel (in its semi-enlarged form) like so:

gui:
  commandLogSize: 10

Random Tip

Some responses to the above survey mentioned features that would be cool to add... which already existed! So we're seeing how we go with a random tip that is shown in the command log panel when lazygit is opened, providing general tips for using lazygit so that the user can get a little more familiar with the app. If you find this annoying, you can disable it like so:

gui:
  showRandomTip: false

Admittedly if the random tip spans several lines and you only have a one-line-high command log, you're gonna need to scroll up. Not too sure how to get around that one.

Ask Question Button

If you're lost and want to ask a question, any question, you can now click the 'Ask Question' button at the bottom right of the app. It will take you to the discussions page of the lazygit repo.

File sorting

We now bubble tracked files to the top when in flat file mode again. So first you'll see files with merge conflicts, then tracked files, then untracked files.

Bug fixes

• when you open a panel for editing text, the cursor now appears at the end, not the start, of the text.
• when using an east-asian character encoding, the rendering of frames is no longer broken

v0.27.4

lazygit 0.27.1-0.27.4 Release notes

Version 0.27 was quite ambitious so a few bugs were introduced. Lesson learnt,
release features gradually! All the newly introduced bugs should now be fixed,
except for #1233 which looks to
be a limitation of the new rendering library, tcell.

You can also now open 'git mergetool' by pressing shift+M in the files panel or
merge panel.

Otherwise, these releases contained minor bug fixes and improvements.

lazygit 0.27 Release Notes

Holy Moly, this is a big one.

There are two big changes here:

1. Tree view for the files panel
2. New rendering library

File tree view

This is off by default, but can be configured via the 'gui.showFileTree' config
key and toggled from within lazygit with the backtick key (the one below tilde).

Hitting enter on directories will toggle whether they are collapsed. Most
keybindings that apply to files also apply to directories e.g. if you hit space
on a directory, it will stage that whole directory.

When not in tree-mode, the merge conflicts are now bubbled up to the top of the
list.

The tree view makes it much easier to deal with tonnes of files, because you can
easily collapse folders you don't care about to focus on the important changes.
It also reduces the amount of horizontal space used meaning there is less chance
of content being truncated by the frame of the panel.

New rendering library

We've switched from the termbox package to tcell, with the help of the contributors
of the awesome-gocui repo. This has many benefits:

• More support for various terminals
• 24 bit colour support (you can now drop the -24-bit-color=never arg if you're using delta)
• Support for more keybindings like... SHIFT-TAB! Which means you can now navigate
  the side panels with tab and shift-tab. (Previously pressing shift+tab would
  crash the program).
• Better support for switching to subprocesses. Most of that benefit

Other stuff:

• No more flickering e.g. when staging a file or when contents are refreshed
• You can now scroll the main panel with your mouse or pgup/pgdown. Before, doing
  so would move the cursor which was weird
• You can now insert a newline to the commit message panel via alt-enter. I've
  changed the default keybinding from to . Let me know if that makes
  you angry
• When you scroll the main view, it will now stop just shy of scrolling too far
• The gui no longer re-initialises when returning from a subprocess or switching
  repos
• By default, 'esc' no longer quits lazygit. Instead you'll need to use ctrl+c
  or 'q'. We use escape for exiting various modes in lazygit (e.g. cherry-picking)
  and it gets annoying when you accidentally hit esc one too many times and end
  up quitting. It's still configurable though
• Faster startup time
• Custom commands now run in your shell so you have more freedom to get freaky with it

Bug fixes:

• No more panicking when attemping to enter an unprintable key (thanks @fsmiamoto!)
• Rewording the topmost commit no longer commits staged files as well
• When returning from a submodule we retain the state of the parent repo so that
  you land back where you were in the submodules tab
• Fixed a bug in search where the cursor would get stuck if the result set shrunk
• Commands now retry if .git/index.lock exists
• Branches are no longer checked out when renamed
• Fixed issue with merge conflicts on windows where the wrong command was invoked
  causing a panic

Code-stuff:

• Lots of refactoring of the code itself. I'm considering a much bigger refactor
  but need to investigate whether the approach is a good idea
• Added a TUI for running/recording integration tests so that that whole workflow
  is easier
• Added over 40 new integration tests, so bugs will be caught sooner. As always,
  if you catch a bug, please raise an issue for it!
