Lazygit very slow on osx sonoma and small repo

Open diego898 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug lazygit is very slow to give diffs and slows down terminal even after exit for a few seconds

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. launch lazygit
  2. scroll down some unstages changes
  3. observe "loading..."

Expected behavior Previously, on ubuntu it was lightning fast

Version info:

➜  ~ lazygit --version
commit=, build date=, build source=homebrew, version=0.44.1, os=darwin, arch=arm64, git version=2.47.0
➜  ~ git --version
git version 2.47.0
➜  ~ which git
/opt/homebrew/bin/git

Additional context Ive also tried this using just the git that ships with mac (2.39) instead of homebrew - same issue Also on bash using native terminal app - same issue

Am I reading this log correctly that some git operations took 9s? 18s? etc?

There was a similar issue recently that was solved by updating delta.

Does this happen if you don't use delta as your pager?

mark2185 avatar Oct 10 '24 16:10 mark2185

when I use delta it works slowly for me too

kryshac avatar Nov 20 '24 00:11 kryshac

I had the same issue except I'm using difft for paging.

git:
  paging:
    externalDiffCommand: difft --color=always

After removing this config, lazygit works as expected.

Just wanted to chime in to say that it's not specific to delta.

For both delta and difft, you need to tell them whether you want dark mode or light mode (using --dark for delta, or --background dark for difft). Without that, they will try to auto-detect this by sending terminal control sequences to lazygit, which isn't prepared to answer these. They will wait a while to see if they get an answer though, hence the slowdown.
