Description
Describe the bug
This issue is a bit niche, but might reveal a general issue of lazygit being confused by certain shell output:
Due to a not yet fully clear issue in macos xcode utils + nixpkgs (NixOS/nixpkgs#376958) and a direnv hook, the shell prompt emits a warning and looks like this:
╭─user@hostname ~/src/fc-nixos ‹fc-25.11-dev●›
╰─$ warning: unhandled Platform key FamilyDisplayName
This is mostly annoying – but also makes lazygit crash at startup, showing that it likely reads and chokes upon that shell ouptut
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
We need a shell environment with Nix where direnv evaluates a current NixOS/nixpkgs repo on macOS 26.1 with the latest current xcode utils.
One example for that:
git clone https://github.com/flyingcircusio/fc-nixos && cd fc-nixos && git checkout 6ccffa2449c74fd93d1a63699e82f1efa2f7bcb4cp .envrc.example .envrc && direnv allow- The shell prompt now contains the additional eval warning as shown above
- Try to run
lazygit
Resulting error:
╭─user@hostname ~/src/fc-nixos ‹fc-25.11-dev●›
╰─$ warning: unhandled Platform key FamilyDisplayName

Expected behavior
Lazygit shall start just fine without being confused by the additional shell output. After a direnv block gets rid of the warning, lazygit starts successfully again.
