Editing config file from lazygit requires a restart for changes to take effect

[peppy]

Describe the bug
Lazygit allows you to edit its configuration by pressing the 'e' hotkey from pane 1. After editing, my expectation would be that the new configuration is loaded, but it does not seem to be.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to pane 1
2. Press 'e'
3. Edit the configuration (add a new custom command)
4. Save and return to lazygit

Expected behavior
The new command will work immediately, without a restart.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS (latest non-beta)
• Lazygit Version 0.24.2

Makes sense, I suspect that wouldn't be too hard to implement. I'll see if I find some time soon to work on this but in the meantime I'll chuck a 'good-first-issue' label on it

@peppy are you able to give #1170 a go?

[peppy]

works as expected 💯

I'm sorry, how can I make it work?

@jesseduffield And what is the meaning of "returning to gui" in the title #1170, there is only tui for lazygit.

[peppy]

At some point I believe this did regress. I noticed that changes don't seem to stick anymore.

[c02y]

You may need to reopen it.

In testing right now (on main) changing commitAuthorShortLength was instant (as soon as I switched based to lazygit).

This was implemented in #3787.
