A rewrite of the popular project GitUp that works in Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Hey, I want to try git-down out and got into trouble at starting it. I've never had anything to do with kotlin or gradle. My attempts were simply to $ ./gradlew run for starting it under ubuntu 20.4, but the build fails. Here is the stacktrace:

$ ./gradlew run --stacktrace
> Task :run FAILED
Error: Could not find or load main class MainKt
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: MainKt

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':run'.
> Process 'command '/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

* Try:
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':run'.

For some reason if a file is externally added and put into the index (usually via my IDE prompting to "Add file to git") the scanner will not pick up that this file now exists and the state should be updated...

Currently nothing handles the active branch it seems, it will be stuck on the previous branch and then crash on attempting to stage / unstage changes.

Not entirely sure about this, I saw it happen just now, but could be something else...

Currently, if you close the commit / graph / stash view, you will be sent back to the welcome screen, but it will be sent behind all existing windows where you can't see it. It should instead be set as the current active window.

This was removed because it was just reassigning state on an interval which was more expensive than it needed to be, and caused a ton of jank when using the UI / scrolling around.

We'll need a way to determine if there is a need to refresh before we do it.

When we select a directory, we should default to the last folder that a user was in when they select a project to open. In my and probably many cases, it is common to have a "projects" folder that contains many git repos.

There is a special system level hack for mac that is currently used to allow us to select directories rather than files

System.setProperty("apple.awt.fileDialogForDirectories", "true")

We either need to find a way to generically do this OS agnostic or add the needed hacks for each OS :shrug:

this fixes a bug where the commit count derived state was encountering an exception. Now we will explicitly handle this and return 0 commits.

Fixes #28

this prevents an issue where the stage / unstage file button would get clipped out of frame if the file path is too long. We still need to find a way to do a reverse ellipse, but I feel this is part of another issue.

Fixes #87

We should bring the user to a screen that will allow them to start a new git repository.

Maybe we can allow them to choose files / directories to ignore as well

Sometimes when leaving the editor, temporary files are created / deleted. Because the editor scans for changes on pulling focus, this can lead to the temporary files showing up.

Might be better to have the best of both worlds, we turn on a file watcher while the window has focus and turn it off when it goes in the background
