Description

Great tool!

Neogit shows me the list of modifed files in the commit before listing the actual changes which I think is very useful when reviewing code. What do you think?

edit: btw, is there a bug with emojis? It seems the last character in the strings are dropped.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start at the commit-view screen that currently lists the actual changes, then trace how modified files are obtained and rendered. Add a file list before the diff, using the screenshots as the target; done means a commit view shows its modified files before the changes. The emoji note is a separate possible bug and is not scoped by the request.
