[Feat] Allow users to abort running commands #699
Description
Allow users to cancel running commands to avoid waiting until the error message is displayed.
Example
I tried to push a commit and I didn't have connectivity with the remote, so I had to wait until Sourcegit return an error

It's not safe to cancel a running git command directly. You can use
git config --global http.timeout <SECONDS>to reduce the waiting time of network connection.aikawayataro commentedon Nov 14, 2024
I think it is safe to send
SIGTERMto gracefully stop git as it installs a handler for this. The problem is there's no dotnet API for such thing dotnet/runtime#109432albertodlc commentedon Nov 14, 2024
GitExtension allow this behavior. And it is based on dotnet (I think) so maybe we can replicate their approach.

Their approach is Windows-only
It is possible to use p/invoke and call whatever we need for the corresponding OS but that's cumbersome

I also intended to propose this feature. I've experienced significant delays cloning GitHub repositories in SourgeGit, with no option to cancel except by forcefully terminating the SourgeGit processes. Although the cloning issue can be problematic in itself, a dedicated cancel button would be a valuable addition.
