| 1 | +# Git Operations Implementation Complete |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Summary |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Successfully implemented full Git operations (Stage, Commit, Push/Pull) for both web browsers and Electron app when using "Open Repository" feature. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## What Was Fixed |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### 1. File Reading Error (NotFoundError) |
| 10 | +**Problem**: Files couldn't be opened after selecting them from the file browser. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +**Root Cause**: Mismatch between how files are stored (LightningFS for cloned repos vs File System Access API for opened repos). |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +**Solution**: Implemented fallback logic - try gitManager first, then directory handle. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### 2. Missing Git Operations |
| 17 | +**Problem**: Stage, Commit, Push/Pull were disabled in web mode. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +**Root Cause**: Code had early returns that prevented Git operations in browser. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +**Solution**: Removed restrictions and let gitManager handle both modes (it already supported browser via isomorphic-git). |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## Feature Status - COMPLETE ✅ |

| 84 | +``` |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +### Web Mode Flow |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +1. **Clone Repository**: |
| 89 | + - Clone to LightningFS (in-memory) |
| 90 | + - Sync files to File System Access API (disk) |
| 91 | + - All Git operations work via LightningFS |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +2. **Open Repository**: |
| 94 | + - Scan existing directory via File System Access API |
| 95 | + - Read files from disk on first open |
| 96 | + - Save writes to LightningFS + syncs to disk |
| 97 | + - All Git operations work via LightningFS |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +## Files Modified |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +1. **src/insertSave.ts** |
| 102 | + - Enhanced `readFileFromDirectory()` with better error handling and logging |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +2. **src/App.tsx** |
| 105 | + - `handleFileSelect()` - Fallback logic for file reading |
| 106 | + - `handleGitSave()` - Unified save for both modes |
| 107 | + - `handleSaveStageCommitPush()` - Removed web restrictions |
| 108 | + - `updateGitStatus()` - Enabled for web mode |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +## Testing |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +### Web Browser (https://localhost:3024/) |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +**Test 1: Clone Repository** |
| 115 | +``` |
| 116 | +1. Git → Clone Repository |
| 117 | +2. Enter: https://github.com/user/repo.git |
| 118 | +3. Select directory |
| 119 | +4. Wait for clone |
| 120 | +5. Select file from browser |
| 121 | +6. Edit content |
| 122 | +7. Ctrl+S (Save & Stage) |
| 123 | +8. Git → Commit → Enter message |
| 124 | +9. Git → Push |
| 125 | +``` |
| 126 | +✅ Expected: All operations succeed |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +**Test 2: Open Repository** |
| 129 | +``` |
| 130 | +1. File → Open Repository |
| 131 | +2. Select existing Git repo |
| 132 | +3. Select file |
| 133 | +4. Edit content |
| 134 | +5. Ctrl+S (Save & Stage) |
| 135 | +6. Git → Commit → Enter message |
| 136 | +7. Git → Push |
| 137 | +``` |
| 138 | +✅ Expected: All operations succeed |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +### Electron App (npm run app) |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +**Test 3: Regression Test** |
| 143 | +``` |
| 144 | +1. File → Open Repository |
| 145 | +2. Select repository |
| 146 | +3. Select file |
| 147 | +4. Edit, save, commit, push |
| 148 | +``` |
| 149 | +✅ Expected: No regression, all works |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +## Browser Compatibility |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +| Browser | Support | Notes | |
| 154 | +|---------|---------|-------| |
| 155 | +| Chrome 86+ | ✅ Full | File System Access API supported | |
| 156 | +| Edge 86+ | ✅ Full | File System Access API supported | |
| 157 | +| Opera 72+ | ✅ Full | File System Access API supported | |
| 158 | +| Firefox | ⚠️ Limited | No File System Access API | |
| 159 | +| Safari | ⚠️ Limited | No File System Access API | |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +**Note**: For Firefox/Safari, use the Electron app for full functionality. |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +## Important Notes |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +### LightningFS Persistence |
| 166 | +- LightningFS is in-memory (cleared on page refresh) |
| 167 | +- Files are synced to disk via File System Access API |
| 168 | +- **Always push commits to remote** to preserve Git history |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +### CORS Requirements |
| 171 | +- Repository must support CORS for web mode |
| 172 | +- ✅ GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket support CORS |
| 173 | +- ⚠️ Self-hosted servers may need CORS configuration |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +### HTTPS Requirement |
| 176 | +- File System Access API requires HTTPS or localhost |
| 177 | +- Use `npm run setup-https` to generate certificates |
| 178 | +- See `HTTPS-SETUP-GUIDE.md` for details |
| 179 | + |
