DAGIT DEVLOG 4

Yoo!
I’ve made soo many updates and the resizing /clipping issues are still eating my brain like bugs

Progress overview

Decreased the sizes of reference being displayed also truncated lines in the gitlog so that the vertical clipping stops
I completely styled the UI using lipgloss and it looks soo much better now
Added highlighting to the head of the repo that pops a little more
Refactored the old way of refreshing the data
Refactored the code to increase readability

The git logs were looking odd because when the commit messages were long , the log that should only take the space of one line was now also taking space in the second line. So we fixed it using truncateMessages() function
As we are pushig to multiple tags . The reference also gets long and causes a clipping issue again. So we again simply dosent let the refs be that long[But the current implementation can cause the line to break suddenly that may not look good all the time]-

// Stop 'refs' being too long
if lipgloss.Width(refs) > 30 {
	refs = refs[:27] + "..."
}

And as dagit is a live visualizer, I removed the old way of refreshing the data[clicking [r] to refresh]. Now what we do is use tea.Tick and the time library to refresh the data every 1 second.

We are currently refreshing data every second that can put a lot more load on the system when used inside a big repository, So in infuture I’m gonna work to give the user a way to choose the tick Rate

Scrollbar for gitlog and also visualizer
A tick rate selector
File status panel that can be toggled with the visualizer
A way to search for different repo’s in the user’s computer and jumping between them(something like the nvim feature of finding files) –im not really sure of this
