How to fold a directory

[jiangyinzuo]

Topic
I have a large untracked directory and I want to fold it. What should I do? Is this feature already supported？

My lazygit version is commit=d1a8b05401ccda1e52215203139a252eb3be3b79, build date=2022-11-14T09:22:31Z, build source=binaryRelease, version=0.36.0, os=linux, arch=amd64, git version=2.39.2

My thoughts
If this feature is already supported, then it's better to add an item after toggle file tree view to the menu

Just press Enter when the directory is highlighted.

Also I'd suggest adding .cache to the ignorefile by pressing i on it, a menu will pop up.

It works. Thanks for your help!

Can I collapse a folder when I'm inside it? just like backspace in nvim-tree.

[mark2185]

@crhf unfortunately that's not currently possible, but it might be a worthy addition.

Although, I don't see any information about a parent for the currently selected Node which would come in handy to know which folder to fold.

@jesseduffield thoughts? Aside from adding a Parent member, I don't have any other ideas. Searching upwards for the first Directory is undesirable IMO.

[jesseduffield]

We should allow folding a directory from within. I'm happy for the code to just search for the directory from the top level, it wouldn't be expensive to do.

Did this ever get added or is there a feature request tracking it? Thanks!
