Git plugins

Vim fugitive(git)

  1. Gstatus -> Press - to add/reset a file’s changes, or = to expand an inline diff and operate on individual hunks
  2. Gcommit % to commit the current file, editing the commit message inside the currently running Vim.
  3. Gblame -> Press enter on a line to edit the commit where the line changed, or o to open it in a split. When you’re done, use :Gedit in the historic buffer to go back to the work tree version.
  4. Gmove does a git mv on a file and simultaneously renames the buffer. :Gdelete does a git rm on a file and simultaneously deletes the buffer.
  5. Use Ggrep to search the work tree (or any arbitrary commit) with git grep, skipping over that which is not tracked in the repository. Glog loads all previous revisions of a file into the quickfix list so you can iterate over them and watch the file evolve!
  6. Use :Gbrowse to open the current file on the web front-end of your favorite hosting provider, with optional line range (try it in visual mode!). Plugins are available for popular providers such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitee. -> TODO setup further plugins
