fugitive (via vim) Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• GitUI

  I agree, navigating blame history is incredibly useful, if only to save you from asking the wrong person about a particular change. Vim's Fugitive[1] can do this and also in Textmate to. So I would hope that most editor git plugins can. 1. https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Is it too late to learn emacs as a vim lifer?

  You'll want to invest the time in learning Magit, which will change your life once you get the hang of it (and I was a heavy user of Fugitive in Vim previously!), and it's unlikely you'll find a better integration with GDB anywhere else on the planet than with Emacs, though I can't say that empirically. You just need to take the plunge and start learning it, then cut over and take the hit in productivity one day... Source: 7 months ago

• webify.nvim - Open the current file in the remote's web interface (github or gitlab) or yank its URL

  For an option that works on Vim, if you already use tpope's vim-fugitive, there's vim-rhubarb (for GitHub) and fugitive-gitlab.vim (for GitLab). Source: 10 months ago

• Vim users who work without any plugins, how does your vimrc look like?

  I replace vim-fugitive with :! git. Source: 11 months ago

• Switching from Emacs. My experience

  The only thing I truly miss from Emacs is [Magit](https://magit.vc/) since I still consider it the best git wrapper available. It is just too good. Unfortunately [Neogit](https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) is not quite there yet although I hope it makes it at some point. I didn't like [Fugitive]https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive), but I ended up finding a good enough workaround by using... Source: 11 months ago

• I like Tabasco.

  I do think VSCode is a great tool and I recommend it frequently to people, but I still want to set the record straight here. Yes, vim is obviously limited in the sense that as a CLI app it doesn't draw it's own PDF or HTML windows, that's fair. But it can remote control your favorite PDF viewer or browser for roughly the same functionality. I'm currently writing my thesis using vimtex and it's quite smooth. And... Source: 12 months ago

• How Can I Configure Vim Plugins on Neovim?

  But how do I do that for a vim package like vim fugitive. Source: about 1 year ago

• Github Permalink direct from Xcode?

  I'm using the vim-fugitive NeoVim plugin to get GitHub permalinks. Just select a portion of text, then use the command :GBrowse. Source: about 1 year ago

• Some plugin for tracking and visualizing of changes across multiple buffers? Or switches between buffers?

  Yes, I can use mark for this, also with some plugin for saving them in a list, but my current approach - change something in a line - and I will see that line in my git diff through fugitive in :G, but better to see all changes/undo across multiple buffers... Source: about 1 year ago

• Introducing: Advanced Git Search (Telescope extension)

  Yes, vim-fugitive is used for this. Check out the “:GBrowse” command. Source: about 1 year ago

• As someone who has done something similar in the past, I don't feel bad about laughing. 🤣 (Also this guy got the advice he needed.)

  I have definitely done the thing where I write notes in a temporary buffer in Neovim to be later used for the amendment. Using Screen definitely makes switching to a different terminal window quite a bit easier though. My Emacs friends tell me that this is why they swear by Magit. I should be able to do something similar with Fugitive, which I do use, but I guess now that I'm thinking about it, it's never bugged... Source: about 1 year ago

• What "new-to-you" tool did you recently start using that just changed your workflow for the better?

  Https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive Https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter Since your already on neovim these plugins are excellent for git integration within vim! You may just prefer lazygit but having a tight integration in editor is definitely really nice for my personal workflow. Your approach is more unix-y where you have a tool for each job though!

• Show HN: CodeLink: create links to blocks of code in your IDE

  If you use the vim fugitive plugin[1], The `:Gbrowse` command will open your browser to github on the correct file/commit. It also works on visually selected ranges, automatically linking to the range in github [1] https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How to do a git merge?

  I highly recommend fugitive by tpope as u/SunnyNickname said. For me, it's probably one of my top 5 plugins I couldn't live without. As for the git merge, you can see it in action at http://vimcasts.org/episodes/fugitive-vim-resolving-merge-conflicts-with-vimdiff/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Is it still possible to live in a terminal?

  >> Using the git CLI is much better for version control than the Jetbrains GUI wrapper > For some things. But for reviewing activity in git, and tracking changes across time, doing it in the terminal is unproductive and sucks. (e.g.: 10 levels deep of git blame) Magit[1] in Emacs is quite okay. It doesn’t feel duct-taped. I haven’t used fugitive[2] in Vim but that’s a thing that exists too. [1] https://magit.vc/... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Suggestion on how to set up neovim as a diff/merge tool for git with dir-diff in mind

  Personally I've found fugitive's :Git mergetool command very useful. Source: over 1 year ago

• Gitui: Terminal UI for Git

  I haven't, but I don't use emacs. Crash course: `mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/git/start` `git clone https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive ~/.vim/pack/git/start/vim-fugitive` Open a file under version control and `:Git blame` The commit shas, author, and date appear in a window to the left. `Ctrl+w Ctrl+w` to switch windows. Both windows scroll up and down together. Pressing `o` on a commit sha opens the full commit log... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Git workflow

  I think the current terrain of neovim Lua-based git plugins is still very immature and flowing. If you want stable and boring I would stay with https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive (see the overview article of the fugitive vimcasts series). Source: over 1 year ago
