Makes sense, I'll test this out soon!
Maybe a more descriptive name in the config file would be nice?

[general]
always_show_help.enabled = false
always_show_help.enabled = false
confirm_quit.enabled = false
confirm_quit.enabled = false
collapsed = []

collapsed_sections = [] ? collapsed_on_startup = [] ?

I didn't quite get your comment here, you duplicated some keys and kept collapsed.

What the hell did I copy paste x)

Yes, just changing the name of it was my idea. Perhaps 'collapsed_sections' is good enough :)

Done.

An issue I've thought of is that there's no real scheme for ids of items in gitu.
Some are just a copy of the text they contain, some are defined as snake case (like "untracked").

These were put in just in order to have a (hopefully) unique reference to an item that would remain between reloads of data. (so that collapsed sections will remain collapsed on a reload).

Perhaps only these defined sections on the status screen should be configurable?
Section in gitu could be a delta, a hunk etc.

Currently the sections seen on the status screen are also not consistent:

#[test]
fn collapsed_sections_config() {
    let mut ctx = TestContext::setup_clone();
    ctx.config().general.collapsed_sections = vec![
        // TODO Are we doing snake_case or not?
        "untracked".into(),
        "Recent commits".into(),
        "branch_status".into(),
        // TODO rebase / revert/ merge conlict?
    ];
    fs::write(ctx.dir.child("untracked_file.txt"), "").unwrap();

    snapshot!(ctx, "");
}

It would be nice if it's documented in the default config too, exactly which ones can configured as collapsed.

Does that make sense?

Yes that's why I thought. I think IDs should be snake case, but for the config part, it shouldn't matter. We can take the user text and make it snake_case.

Yeah, well, we can never know what users want, and if we go through the route of unique snake_case IDs, then theoretically it would even be less specific code since we don't have to manage exceptions?

I added in the docs the one you included in the tests since they definitely make the most sense ATM.

And since we're at collapsed sections, I noticed that when I press g to refresh the screen and get modifications, the delta for files are open by default, and I think it should be closed by default because in most scenarios, this is what you want.

Seems fine to start with these.
The deltas showing per default is a bug from before I think? Could be done in another issue and PR.
