Show latest few commits first

[lyctw]

Hi,

I wonder if lazygit can render the latest few commits when it is used with a huge git commit history so it can be more responsive.

Thanks in advance.

That's what it currently does, but the number is 300. I guess we could make that configurable until we improve the performance...

In the meantime, could you try changing this to e.g. " -50"? If you just want to build and run, I've made said change here (on the branch feature-50-last-commits)

Thanks @mark2185

I've built your change but still not improved on printing the latest commits in that window.

How long does it take for the initial load? What if you set the limit to 15?

We have seen many performance improvements in the last few years, and this is super stale. We can create a new issue if somebody is having a particular reproducible problem with latest code.
