Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 6c4409b712 Add a test for opening a file of a branch checked out in another worktree
Pressing `o` on a file in the commit files panel has the same problem as
`e` had before the previous commit. If the commit is of a branch that
another worktree has checked out, the file is still opened from the
current worktree. The absolute path in the panel's copy menu points into
the current worktree too.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 51e91fbb85 Open files of a branch's diff from the worktree that has it checked out
If you enter a branch in the branches panel and press `e` on a line of
a commit's diff, or on a file in the commit files panel entered from
there, lazygit opens the file in the current worktree. If another
worktree has the branch checked out, this is the wrong copy of the
file. The current worktree may have it in a different state, or not
have it at all. Clicking a lazygit-edit:// hyperlink of a diff renderer
in such a diff has the same problem.

Open the file from the worktree that has the branch checked out
instead, and carry the line number forward to the file as that worktree
has it.

If no other worktree has the branch checked out, the file is still
opened from the current worktree.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 f9a3dc7be7 Add a test for editing a file of a branch checked out in another worktree
If you enter a branch in the branches panel, and that branch is checked
out in another worktree, pressing `e` on a line of a commit's diff opens
the file in the current worktree. The same happens for `e` on a file in
the commit files panel entered from there. The current worktree may not
have the file at all, as in this test, or have it in a different state
than the branch has it. The line number is carried forward to the
current worktree's version of the file too, and this gives line 0 here.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 f343c8fd50 Add a way to run GetDiff in another worktree
The next commit carries a line of a diff forward to the file as another
worktree has it, and needs to diff against that worktree's working copy
for this.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 64fd7d8686 Route the editing of a diff's files through DiffHelper
Three places open a file of a diff in the editor: `e` and alt-click in
the main view, the lazygit-edit:// hyperlinks of a diff renderer, and
`e` in the commit files panel. The first two also each carry a line of
the diff forward to the file's current line before opening it.

Give them one pair of methods to call. The next commit changes where
these files are opened from, and can then do so in one place.

Stefan Haller 283bd590f3 Allow scrolling the diff view horizontally when gui.wrapLinesInDiffView is off (#6109)
If gui.wrapLinesInDiffView is false, long lines of a diff run off the
right edge of the main view, and there was no way to see the rest of
them. This made it hard to see what has changed in such a line. The old
staging and patch-building views scrolled sideways with `H` and `L`, but
the focused main view that replaced them had no binding for these keys.

Bind them in the focused main view, as in the side panels. Leaving the
view scrolls it back to the left edge, as it did for the staging view.

In addition, when jumping to the next search result, and it is past the
right edge, scroll sideways to show it. This happens both in the new
main view when `gui.wrapLinesInDiffView` is off, but also in side
panels, so it is an improvement over pre-0.66 versions there.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 dd68e5644a Scroll a view sideways to show the search match it goes to
If a view doesn't wrap, a search match can be past its right edge, or
left of it once the view is scrolled sideways. Going to such a match
with /, n or N only scrolls the view vertically, so the match stays out
of sight. This matters most for a diff with gui.wrapLinesInDiffView set
to false, where a change is often at the end of a long line.

Scroll the view sideways if the match isn't on screen. Put the match a
third of the way across the view, so that some of the text before it
shows too. If the view can show the match without scrolling, go back to
the left edge instead. This applies to every view that doesn't wrap,
including the side panels.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 2abe4848f3 Scroll back to the left edge when jumping to another file of a diff
Going to the next or previous file of a diff, or picking one from the
jump-to-file menu or the diffstat, brings that file to the top of the
view. The user goes there to read the file from its start, so scroll the
view back to the left edge as well. Jumps between the hunks of a diff
keep the horizontal scroll position, as moving the selection does.

Nothing scrolls the main view horizontally yet, so this changes nothing
on its own. It prepares for scrolling the focused main view sideways
with H and L.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 6da4f658d7 Don't leave a re-rendered diff scrolled further right than it reaches
The main view keeps its horizontal scroll position when a diff is
rendered again. If the new rendering is narrower, for example because
the only long line in it was just staged, the view can end up scrolled
past the end of every line and look empty. If one line still reaches
into the view, the view shows only a sliver of it, although the whole
diff would fit without scrolling.

Once a render has been read to the end, scroll the view back as far as
it takes to put the end of the widest line at the right edge. A long
diff that is read only in part is checked once the rest of it has been
read.

Nothing scrolls the main view horizontally yet, so this changes nothing
on its own. It prepares for scrolling the focused main view sideways
with H and L.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 4f678b7d0d Keep the horizontal scroll position when a diff is rendered again
Two places that position the main view after a re-render of the same
diff call SetOrigin(0, y), although they only mean to move the view
vertically. One is the restore after a change of the context size, of
whitespace handling or of the diff renderer. The other is the clamp for
content that ends above the scroll position, for example after staging a
large part of the diff. Use SetOriginY in both, so that they keep the
horizontal scroll position.

Nothing scrolls the main view horizontally yet, so this changes nothing
on its own. It prepares for scrolling the focused main view sideways
with H and L.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 abc16e904c Keep horizontally scrolled content out of the inclusion gutter
If a view that shows the inclusion gutter is scrolled horizontally, its
content is drawn over the gutter. The marker of a marked line is
overwritten, and the content starts the gutter's width too far to the
left. The draw loop skips the cells scrolled past the left edge only
until x reaches 0, but the content area starts at the gutter's width.

Nothing scrolls such a view horizontally yet. A later commit lets the
focused main view scroll sideways, and the gutter shows there while
building a custom patch.

Stefan Haller 99f92d00ef Fix search match highlighting when a custom patch is active (#6107)
Search matches beside the inclusion gutter were highlighted in the wrong
place, and hovering over or clicking a hyperlink there acted on the
wrong cell. The draw loop starts the content after the gutter, but the
code that maps a view column back to a column of the content only added
the horizontal origin and ignores the gutter.

Add a helper that does both, and use it for search highlights, hover and
clicks.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 42f7bf66a6 Remove the unused View.Line and View.Word
Nothing in lazygit calls View.Line or View.Word; they came with the
original gocui code and have never been used. They are also the only
callers of realPosition. That function ignores the inclusion gutter when
it maps a view position to the buffer. On top of that, Word uses the
returned column as an index into the line's cells, and this goes wrong
for wide characters.

Remove them, together with realPosition and the indexFunc helper. This
leaves contentX as the only code that maps a column of the view to a
column of the content.

columns to the left of where they are. Hovering over a hyperlink
underlines the wrong columns, and a click acts on the cell two columns

Stefan Haller 8771f1fc5d Fix double-width characters in the last column drawing over the view's frame (#6106)
A double-width character that starts in the last column of a view is
drawn over the view's frame. One that is scrolled halfway out to the
left is skipped, and the column it reaches into isn't drawn at all. The
draw loop clips cells against the edges of the view as if every cell
were one column wide.

A terminal can't show half of a double-width character. So draw a blank
in the column that is on screen, in the character's colors, and let the
selection highlight cover that column like any other.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 bab90de2fd Add tests for double-width characters at the edges of a view
If a double-width character starts in the last column of a view that
doesn't wrap, its second half is drawn over the view's frame. If one is
scrolled halfway out to the left, the column it still reaches into isn't
drawn at all. This column then has neither the selection highlight nor
the line's background. Both happen in every view that doesn't wrap: the
side panels, and the main view with gui.wrapLinesInDiffView set to
false.

Stefan Haller 7fc43006c0 Show errors for unresolvable diff lines (#6100)
If lazygit can't work out what diff lines it is supposed to act on when
staging a hunk (for example because of bugs like the one in #6099, or
maybe because of a misbehaving OSC-1717 diff renderer), it used to do
nothing and silently ignore the error. Now it shows an error popup to
the user in such a case, so that they can report the bug more easily.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 2a3883f502 Show an error if the commit to discard lines from can't be found
Discarding lines from a commit's diff rewrites the commit with a
rebase. For this we look up the commit among the commits of the
current branch. If it isn't there, pressing the key does nothing. The
disabled reason only allows discarding in a diff of the commits panel,
so this shouldn't happen. If it does, the user should see it.

Show an error that names the commit instead.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 56e234e94c Show an error if the selected diff lines can't be found in the diff
When we stage, discard or edit lines of the working tree's diff, we
read the file's diff again and look for the selected lines in it. If
none of them are there, nothing happens. The same goes for adding
lines of a commit's diff to a custom patch, or taking lines out of
it. This can happen if the file changed since its diff was shown, or
if we read the line numbers out of the diff on screen wrongly.

Show an error that names the file instead. As with a file that can't
be found, don't act on any file if the lines of one are missing.

Unlike the file check, this one happens after a new custom patch has
been started. If the error leaves that patch without any lines, reset
it, as we do when the last line is taken out of a patch.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 15ac3c28c9 Show an error if the file of the selected diff lines can't be found
If the path in the diff header of a selected line doesn't name a file
of the files panel, staging or discarding the line does nothing. The
command log shows "Apply patch", but nothing else happens, so the user
has nothing to go on when reporting it. Adding a line of a commit's
diff to a custom patch fails in the same silent way if the path
doesn't name a file of that diff. A diff renderer that names files
differently can cause this, and so can a bug in how we read the path,
like the one we had with diff.mnemonicPrefix.

Show an error that names the path instead, and do nothing else. If a
selection spans several files, don't act on the files we did find,
because that would do only part of what the user asked for. Do the
same for opening a line of a diff in its pull request.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 a29c70f1f3 Build the patches of all selected files before applying any of them
When staging, discarding or taking lines out of a custom patch spans
several files, we read the diff of a file and apply its patch before
we look at the next file. The next commits report an error if the
selected lines of a file can't be found. Without this change, the
files before it would already be acted on by then.

So find the lines in every file first, and only then apply anything.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 e5eb4086c5 Don't ignore a git error when listing the files of a commit's diff
If git fails to list the files of the diff that a custom patch is
built from, we carry on as if the diff had no files. Then we don't
know which files were renamed, added or deleted, and build the patch
from the wrong lines or without the file's creation or deletion.

Return the error instead, so that the user sees it.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 6be2bd9031 Resolve the files of the selected diff lines before acting on them
The focused diff actions look up the file of a selected line in
different places. In the files panel, staging and discarding do it
per file while applying the patches, and editing a hunk does it for
the first line. For a commit's diff, adding lines to a custom patch or
discarding them from the commit does it only after the confirmation
prompt and after a new patch has been started. The next commits
report a line whose file can't be found as an error. For that, the
lookup has to happen once, before we log an action, ask for
confirmation or start a patch.

So let diffLineSelection group the selected lines by their file, in
the order the diff shows the files, and do the same for a commit's
diff in selectionByFile. A line whose file can't be found is still
skipped, as before.

Stefan Haller 47e7a133a5 Fix staging diff hunks when the diff.mnemonic git config is true (#6099)
This fixes a regression in v0.66.0: when the `diff.mnemonicPrefix` git
config is true, staging or unstaging a diff hunk didn't work. It printed
"Apply patch" in the commands log, but would otherwise do nothing.

Fixes #6096.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 243ede84d7 Fix staging lines in the main view when diff.mnemonicPrefix is set
If diff.mnemonicPrefix is set, pressing space on a line in the focused
main view does nothing. The command log shows "Apply patch", but the
line is not staged. Other commands that read a path out of the working
tree's diff go wrong as well, such as jumping to a file. Building a
custom patch from a commit's diff still works, because git uses
mnemonic prefixes only when one side of the diff is the index or the
working tree.

With this config, the paths in the working tree's diff start with i/
and w/ instead of a/ and b/. We only strip a/ and b/, so the path we
read out of the diff header is not a file of the files panel, and we
skip the line without a message.

Users who set the config want to see these prefixes, so keep them.
Strip the first component of the path instead, whatever it is. `git
apply` does the same by default, and ParseableDiffPrefixes makes sure
there is such a component.

A section without +++ and --- lines needs more than that, because we
find the new path on its "diff --git" line by searching for " b/".
Take the path from the "rename to" or "copy to" line instead where
there is one. Otherwise the two paths on the "diff --git" line are the
same. Split the line where the two halves match after stripping their
prefixes, like `git apply` does.

If diff.srcPrefix and diff.dstPrefix are set (git 2.45 and later),
pressing space on a line in the focused main view does nothing. These
configs change the diff of a commit too, so the other commands that
read a path out of a diff go wrong as well.

The configs replace the a/ and b/ in front of the paths of a diff with
any string. We only know how to strip a/ and b/, so the paths we read
out of the diff header don't name a file.

We can't tell from the diff where such a prefix ends, so override the
two configs along with diff.noprefix.

If diff.noprefix is set, pressing space on a line of a file under a

We read the path of a file out of the diff header and strip the a/ or
b/ in front of it. Most diff commands override diff.noprefix so that
this prefix is there, but the diff of the working tree and the diff of
a stash entry don't. With the config set, we strip the file's own
directory instead.

Use ParseableDiffPrefixes for these two commands too.

The demo videos were rendered as animated gifs, which is less than

Convert them to videos instead so that users see a playhead and the
usual player controls. Leave a bit of room at the bottom for those
controls; different browsers render those differently, so it's a bit of
a best effort solution.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 ff8d74971f Add a font with the branch drawing symbols for the demo recordings
The terminal that vhs records is xterm.js running in a browser, and the
xterm.js that ttyd bundles doesn't draw the branch drawing symbols
itself. So they have to come from a font, and SauceCodePro NF doesn't
have them, nor does any font that macOS comes with. The detailed commit
graph shows up as garbage.

Newer versions of xterm.js do draw the symbols, but only in the WebGL
renderer. vhs forces the canvas renderer, and xterm.js has removed that
since, so moving to a newer xterm.js would mean patching both ttyd and
vhs.

The Flog Symbols font has the symbols, but it draws its lines for a
smaller cell than the one xterm.js uses at our font settings. As a
fallback font, it leaves a gap at the edges of every cell, and each line
of the graph comes out dashed.

Add a copy of the font that fits the cells of the recordings. xterm.js
clips each character to its row, so the vertical strokes reach well
past the top and bottom of the cell and end exactly at the row's edges.
It doesn't clip a character to its cell horizontally, so the horizontal
strokes reach only a little way into the neighbouring cells. Any
further, and they would show past the start of a bend in the next cell.

Give the font a bold face with the same outlines. lazygit draws the
lines of the selected commit in bold, and without a bold face the
browser makes the symbols bold itself by thickening them. That leaves
gaps where they meet.

Add the script that made the font, and list the font after
SauceCodePro NF in demo/settings.tape so that the browser takes the
symbols from it.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 5a56c609c2 Add a script for re-recording every demo a page embeds
Changing demo/settings.tape, or anything about how lazygit looks, dates
every recording at once, and re-recording them one at a time means
running the recorder fifteen times and pasting fifteen new URLs.
Attachment URLs say nothing about where they came from, so there is also
nothing to tell you which demo a video in the README is of.

Name the demo in a comment above each video. GitHub drops the comment
when it renders the page, so it costs the reader nothing, and it gives
us a way back from a page to the demo that produced it. Then walk those
comments, re-record each demo and rewrite the URL below it.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 d24bb08384 Record demos with vhs and publish them to GitHub's attachment store
The demo gifs in the README start on their own, loop without telling the
reader where a run begins, and give no way to pause, seek or replay. A
video with the browser's own controls fixes all three, but GitHub plays
a video in a README only when it is served from its own attachment
store. If you commit one to the assets branch and link it the way we
link the images, GitHub drops the whole <video> element when it renders
the page.

Replace terminalizer with vhs. vhs records the demo straight to mp4
rather than going through a gif, and it takes the terminal size, font
and colours from demo/settings.tape. Then upload the result from the
endpoint that GitHub's own drag-and-drop upload posts to, and print the
tag to paste into the page.

Uploading alone is not enough. An attachment is readable only by people
who are signed in to GitHub until a posted comment in the repository
refers to it, and a README on a branch does not count. So post each
recording to a collecting issue and wait until the video can be fetched
without a token. Miss that step and the video plays for whoever recorded
it and 404s for every other reader.

Two things about the frame. Pad the bottom, because the browser draws
its playback controls over the video and they are tall enough to cover
the line where the demos put their captions. And cut the end: vhs
records until the marker reaches the screen, by which time lazygit has
exited and the shell has painted its prompt back over the demo. A
browser holds the last frame of a video once it has played to the end,
so leaving those frames in would end every demo on a terminal prompt
and leave it there.

Pass --no-upload while you are still working on how a demo looks. That
writes the video to demo/output and stops, so trying out a colour or a
font costs nothing but the recording itself.

The recording is sharper and smaller than the gif it replaces, at
1866x1230 and 25 fps against 1140x828 and about 5 fps. It also costs the
reader nothing until they press play, whereas the gifs are fetched every
time the README is opened.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 0026f853c7 Give the tests a visible inactive border colour
The integration test config asks for `black` inactive borders. In a
recording that comes out as a mid grey, because the recording theme
remaps the terminal's black to #7a7a7a. In an ordinary terminal it is
real black, so when you watch a test with `just e2e-cli` the inactive
frames all but disappear against the background.

Name the grey directly instead (but a little bit brighter than the #7a
we had before), so that the frames look the same either way.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 212142ff74 Confirm the nuke prompt in the nuke_working_tree demo
The recording of this demo stops with the confirmation popup still on
screen. The explosion animation and the emptied Files panel that the demo
exists to show never happen at all. Nuking the working tree has asked for
confirmation since 238fdd573c, and the demo only selects the menu item, so
the nuke never runs. The demo asserted nothing about the outcome, so it
stayed green all the while.

Answer the confirmation, and assert that the Files panel ends up empty.
That assertion also holds the recording open until the animation has
played out and the panel has been refreshed.

Stefan Haller 115e3fb389 Update demos and readme for new staging-in-main-view functionality
We don't bother rendering the updated or new demos yet, because we are
about to change them to a different format.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 f3e8d88019 Run demos at the size they are recorded at
How a demo behaves depends on how much of a list fits on the screen, and
`just e2e` ran demos on a 150x100 screen while we record them at 120x35.
So a demo could pass the test suite and still fail partway through a
recording, and there was no way to find out short of recording it.

Give a demo the recording size when it doesn't ask for a size of its
own.
