Now that we use headers to define `[template-aliases]`, I thought we should explain how they are also equivalent to dotted keys.
Alternatively, we could rewrite them all in the dotted style, but it would look awkward.
I'm going to remove the corresponding config knobs.
As an example of "brackets" short id, I put a simplified version. It's
unlikely that the "rest()" gets empty for hashes of 12-char long.
Supported values are,
- `none` for no author information,
- `full` for both the name and email,
- `name` for just the name,
- `username` for username part of the email,
- (default) `email` (or any other gibberish for that matter) for the full email.
For stock merge-tools, having name -> args indirection makes sense. For
user-specific settings, it's simpler to set command name and arguments
together.
It might be a bit odd that "name with whitespace" can be parsed differently
depending on the existence of merge-tools."name with whitespace".
I keep calling it `underline` by mistake, so that probably means that
it's a more natural name for it. We haven't made a release of it yet,
so I didn't mention it in the changelog.
I didn't update all variables to also use `underline`, because I felt
that `underlined` was usually more natural there, plus crossterm calls
it `Attribute::Underlined`.
Add a new git.auto-local-branch config option. When set to false, a
remote-tracking branch imported from Git will not automatically create a
local branch target. This is implemented by a new GitSettings struct
that passes Git-related settings from UserSettings.
This behavior is particularly useful in a co-located jj and Git repo,
because a Git remote might have branches that are not of everyday
interest to the user, so it does not make sense to export them as local
branches in Git. E.g. https://github.com/gitster/git, the maintainer's
fork of Git, has 379 branches, most of which are topic branches kept
around for historical reasons, and Git developers wouldn't be expected
to have local branches for each remote-tracking branch.
I think of it more as style than a format, so using `style` in the
config key makes sense to me.
I didn't bother making upgrades easy by supporting the old name since
this was just released and only a few developers probably have it set.
Since per-repo config may contain CLI settings, it must be visible to CLI.
Therefore, UserSettings::with_repo() -> RepoSettings isn't used, and its
implementation is nullified by this commit.
#616
After I changed `merge-tools.vimdiff.program` to `vim`, using
`vimdiff` as a diff editor wouldn't work at all.
Out of the box, it's still not a good experience. I included a
recommendation of a plugin to install to make it better.
As dbarnett@ reported on #9, our default of `less`, combined with our
default of enabling color on TTYs, means that we print ANSI codes to
`less` by default. Unless the user has set e.g. `$LESS=R`, `less` is
going to escape those codes, resulting in garbage like this:
```
@ ESC[1;35mbb39c26a29feESC[0m ESC[1;33m(no email configured)ESC[0m ESC[1;36m2022-12-03....
```
I guess most of us didn't notice because we have something like
`$LESS=FRX` set.
This patch changes our default from `less` to `less -FRX`. Those are
the flags we're using for our internal hg distribution at Google, and
that has seemed quite uncontroversial.
I added a pointer from the changelog to the tracking issue while at
it.
It should be more reliable than parsing a command string into array.
Also updated some of the doc example to use array syntax. I don't think
"C:/Program Files" was parsed properly, but might work thanks to Windows
magic.
Teach Ui's writing functions to write to a pager without touching the
process's file descriptors. This is done by introducing UiOutput::Paged,
which spawns a pager that Ui's functions can write to.
The pager program can be chosen via `ui.pager`. (defaults to Defaults to
$PAGER, and 'less' if that is unset (falling back to 'less' also makes
the tests pass).
Currently, commands are paginated if:
- they have "long" output (as defined by jj developers)
- jj is invoked in a terminal
The next commit will allow pagination to be turned off via a CLI option.
More complex pagination toggling (e.g. showing a pager even if the
output doesn't look like a terminal, using a pager for shorter ouput) is
left for a future PR.
Unfortunately, TOML requires quotes around the argument. So, the
usage is `jj --config-toml ui.color=\"always\"` in bash. The plan is
to eventually have a `--config` option with simpler syntax for
simple cases.
As discussed in https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/discussions/688.
