New root folder showing up after upgrading from 44.1 -> 50

Hi I recently updated my linux distro to the newest stable release and with that came a bump in lazygit. On the new version there is now an extra root directory. Is there any way to get rid of it?

44.1

50

Ah, that clears things up, thanks.

To elaborate on why I dislike this feature. I very rarely need an overview of the entire tree, and when I do, I find myself turning to the cli and don't see that changing. My major issue with the root node is that it makes things indented one extra level and that just always looks off to me while I use it. Also I don't like being able to collapse the whole working tree. I would love a config option to disable this, but until then I'm pinning to 48

Ok, no, we don't want that. That's a shame, you are missing out on a ton of useful changes and fixes since then.

Here's the config: #4593

Thanks so much, I'll try installing that branch later today.
