v0.65.02026-09-05

A custom command whose `context` names a context that does not exist is now refused at config load with an error, instead of crashing later.

Behavior changed

v0.64.02026-08-04

lazygit migrates these to `git.diffRenderers` and `cycleDiffRenderers` by rewriting the config file and stops with an error if it cannot write it; update a read-only config by hand.

Action requiredInferredAffects: Configs that set `git.paging`, `git.pagers` or the `cyclePagers` keybindings and live in a read-only file (for example managed by Nix or home-manager)

v0.62.12026-05-28

Submitting from the description editor is now `ctrl-enter` (`cmd-enter` on Mac), which not every terminal supports; to keep the old key, set `keybinding.universal.confirmInEditor: [<alt+enter>, <ctrl+s>]`.

Action requiredAffects: Users who submit commits from the commit description editor with alt-enter

v0.60.02026-03-09

In the files and commit files views, `/` now filters the list by full path instead of searching it; actions on a directory apply only to the filtered files.

v0.65.02026-09-05

Filter the keybindings and recent repos menus just by typing.

Details

Typing in the keybindings and recent repos menus filters them; worktrees can be filtered by branch name; the window looks inactive when unfocused. A custom command with an unknown `context` name is now rejected when the config loads.

v0.65.0.

v0.64.02026-08-04

Reorder commits by dragging them with the mouse.

Details

Drag commits or rebase todos to move them, and drag to select a range. `git.pagers` is renamed `git.diffRenderers` with a `type` field (`stdinFilter`, `extDiff`, `rawGit`) and one `command` field; existing configs are rewritten automatically.

Also: The branches list shows a GitHub PR's combined checks state.

v0.63.02026-07-04

Rearrange, hide or regroup lazygit's side panels.

Details

New `gui.sidePanels` option to reorder, hide and regroup panels and tabs, and `gui.shrinkSidePanelsToContent`. direnv environments load when switching repos or worktrees; external changes are picked up by polling; `<alt+shift+c>` edits the config file.

v0.63.0; direnv support works when direnv is installed.

v0.62.12026-05-28

Use git-flow-next with lazygit's git flow menu.

Details

Keybindings accept any modifier combination (`<ctrl+alt+shift+x>`) and several keys each; the documented syntax is now `<ctrl+a>` (the older `<c-a>` still works). git-flow-next and GitHub Enterprise pull requests are supported. Groups v0.62.0 and v0.62.1.

Also: `<alt+up>`/`<alt+down>` move commits; the commit graph uses more widely supported symbols.

See which branches have a GitHub pull request, and whether it is open, closed or merged.

Details

With `gh` installed and logged in, branches with a pull request show a colored PR icon, and `shift-G` opens it. File trees now mix files and folders by default (`gui.fileTreeSortOrder: mixed`).

v0.61.0; the PR icons need `gh auth login`.

v0.60.02026-03-09

Filter the file lists by path as you type, and stage or diff only what the filter shows.

Details

Typing a filter in the files and commit files views now filters by full path instead of searching; staging, diffs and discards apply only to the visible files. Lines can be removed from a custom patch directly.

Resolve every conflict in chosen files as ours, theirs or both from a merge menu, without an external tool.

Details

`M` on a conflicted file now opens a merge options menu (ours, theirs, union, or the external merge tool); a no-ff merge option; several pagers in `git.pagers`, cycled with `|`.

Also: Checkout of the previous branch gives clearer feedback; `gui.skipSwitchWorktreeOnCheckoutWarning`.
