What's Changed

Enhancements 🔥

• Preserve pending commit message when closing/re-opening by @AzraelSec in #4191

We've made it so that now the first option is to check out the commit itself, for the sake of everybody's muscle memory.

Fixes 🔧

v0.44.0

What's Changed

Lots of great changes in this release. Thanks to everybody who contributed!

Enhancements 🔥

• Per-repo config files (and reloading of edited config files) by @stefanhaller in #3787
  • In addition to the global config file you can now create repo-specific config files in <repo>/.git/lazygit.yml. Settings in these files override settings in the global config file. In addition, files called .lazygit.yml in any of the parent directories of a repo will also be loaded; this can be useful if you have settings that you want to apply to a group of repositories.
  • We now also automatically apply (most) config changes without the need to restart lazygit
• Easily view diff across range of commits by @stefanhaller in #3869
  • If you select a range of commits, we now show the diff across the range (inclusive). This makes it easy to see the total changes across a number of commits. Likewise, if you press enter when a range of commits are selected, we will show the changed files for the range.

Screen.Recording.2024-09-07.at.12.29.15.pm.mov

• Support hyperlinks from pagers by @stefanhaller in #3825
  • If you're using delta as a pager (which I highly recommend trying), you can now click on line numbers to go to that line in your editor by using the following config:

   git:
     paging:
       colorArg: always
       pager: delta --paging=never --line-numbers --hyperlinks --hyperlinks-file-link-format="lazygit-edit://{path}:{line}"

Screen.Recording.2024-09-07.at.12.30.48.pm.mov

• Switch to Files panel after popping/applying a stash by @stefanhaller in #3888
  • This is a nice quality of life improvement. You generally want to go straight to the files panel after you pop or apply from the stash
• Ask to auto-stage unstaged files when continuing a rebase after resolving conflicts by @stefanhaller in #3879
  • Another quality of life improvement: often you resolve some conflicts, then make another couple changes, then in lazygit you say to continue and you get an error saying there are unstaged changes. Now instead of showing an error, lazygit asks if you want to stage those changes and continue.
• Offer autostash option when creating new branch by @brandondong in #3871
  • Another great quality of life improvement
• Allow using shell aliases in interactive custom commands by @stefanhaller in #3793
• Switch tabs with panel jump keys by @stefanhaller in #3794
  • If you've already been using the number keys (1-5) for jumping to specific side panels, you'll be pleased to know that you can now also use those keys for jumping to tabs within a side panel. E.g. to go to the reflog panel, you can now press 4 to jump to the commits panel, then 4 again to go to the reflog tab.
• Rename "Custom Command" to "Shell Command" by @stefanhaller in #3800
  • There are two ways of invoking a 'custom' command in Lazygit: first by pre-defining a command in your config, and second by pressing ':' and typing in the command directly. We referred to both of these as 'custom commands' which was confusing. We now refer to the second approach as invoking a 'shell command'.
• Improve template placeholders for custom commands by @stefanhaller in #3809
  • Now you can use SelectedCommit to refer to the selected commit regardless of which commits panel you're in (local commits, reflog, etc)
  • Likewise, you can use SelectedPath whether you're in the files panel or the commit-files panel.
• feat(custom command): support multiple contexts within one command by @yam-liu in #3784
  • You can now use a comma-separated list of contexts for which a custom command can be invoked. For example:

   customCommands:
     - description: 'Add empty commit'
       key: 'E'
       context: 'commits,files'

• Improve mouse support for commit message panel by @stefanhaller in #3836
• Make auto-staging resolved conflicts optional by @stefanhaller in #3870
  • If you set git.autoStageResolvedConflicts to false in your config, lazygit will no longer auto-stage files in which you've resolved merge conflicts.
• Allow using </> and ,/. in sticky range select mode in patch explorer by @stefanhaller in #3837
• Add Zed editor support to editorPreset by @susl in #3886

Fixes 🔧

• Allow GPG reword for last commit by @Neko-Box-Coder in #3815
• Don't exit app when GetRepoPaths call fails during startup by @ppoum in #3779
• Fix lack of icon when extension isn't lowercase by @hasecilu in #3810
• Fix redraw bug (stale content) in commits view by @stefanhaller in #3783
• Fix line coloring when using the delta pager by @stefanhaller in #3820
• Fix pressing escape after clicking in diff view by @stefanhaller in #3828
• Fix fast-forward issue caused by a conflicting tag name @Neko-Box-Coder in #3807
• Fix range select -> stage failure when deleted file is already staged by @brandondong in #3631
• Scroll views up if needed to show all their content by @stefanhaller in #3839
• Fix crash when filtering commits by @stefanhaller in #3838
• Fix cancelled autostash resulting in stuck inline status by @brandondong in #3860
• Don't allow opening a menu while the search or filter prompt is open by @stefanhaller in #3878

Maintenance ⚙️

v0.43.0

What's Changed

Thanks to all contributors who helped make this release happen! There's a lot of first-time contributors on this release as well so kudos to you all.

There's quite a few things in this release. I'm going to single out a couple that have changed my workflow.

Base branch stuff

lg-base-branch-demo.mov

Easier rebase onto base branch

(Add command to rebase onto base branch by @stefanhaller in #3615)

When my feature branch gets out of date with the main branch, I like to rebase it onto the main branch. Up until now, that's required:

• Navigating to the main branch
• Pressing 'f' to fast-forward it onto its upstream branch
• Pressing 'r' to rebase the checked-out branch onto the main branch

That takes too long! Now you can just press 'r' followed by 'b' to rebase onto the base branch (which defaults to origin/main).

See the divergence count from the base branch

(Divergence from base branch display by @stefanhaller in #3613)

You can now also configure to see the divergence from a branch and its base branch with the following config:

gui:
    showDivergenceFromBaseBranch: arrowAndNumber # or 'onlyArrow'

This shows the divergence count in blue, next to the yellow count of divergence from the upstream branch. This is admittedly noisy, so it's an opt-in feature. But I think the noise is worth it.

If you set the config value to 'onlyArrow' it's a lot less noisy:

See detailed divergence from base branch

(Add command to show divergence from base branch as a left-right log by @stefanhaller in #3614)

By pressing 'u' then 'b' on a branch you can see the divergence view for that branch compared to its base branch

Improved 'Find commit for fixup' feature

(Improve the "Find base commit for fixup" command by @stefanhaller in #3602)

'Find commit for fixup' is not a very catchy name for this feature but I can't think of anything better at the moment. Nevertheless! The idea is that you often want to know for a given set of changes, which commit ought they be included in? Just press ctrl+f when in the files panel and lazygit will jump the cursor to the appropriate commit to fixup.

With this release, the feature is smarter and more lenient so it's more likely to find you a match. If you haven't tried this out you should really give it a go!

find-commit-demo.mov

Other Enhancements 🔥

• Add Squash merge by @noahfraiture in #3566
  • Now when you press shift+m you get the option to do a regular merge or a squash merge. If you already have muscle memory for regular merge; don't worry: it's the same sequence of keypresses.
• Improve "Find base commit for fixup" command when there are changes for master commits by @stefanhaller in #3645
• Allow setting the similarity threshold for detecting renames by @isti115 in #3025

  • This lets you select a range of commits and update the author / set the co-author on all of them at once.
