Neogit

A work-in-progress Magit clone for Neovim that is geared toward the Vim philosophy.

Installation

NOTE: We depend on plenary.nvim, so to use this plugin, you will additionally need to require nvim-lua/plenary.nvim using your plugin manager of choice, before requiring this plugin.

Plugin Manager	Command
Packer	`use { 'TimUntersberger/neogit', requires = 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim' }`
Vim-plug	`Plug 'TimUntersberger/neogit'`
NeoBundle	`NeoBundle 'TimUntersberger/neogit'`
Vundle	`Bundle 'TimUntersberger/neogit'`
Pathogen	`git clone https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit.git ~/.vim/bundle/neogit`
Dein	`call dein#add('TimUntersberger/neogit')`

You also use in the built-in package manager:

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/pack/plugins/start/neogit

Now you have to add the following lines to your init.lua

local neogit = require('neogit')

neogit.setup {}

Usage

You can either open neogit by using the Neogit command

:Neogit " uses tab
:Neogit kind=<kind> " override kind
:Neogit cwd=<cwd> " override cwd
:Neogit commit" open commit popup

or using the lua api:

local neogit = require('neogit')

-- open using defaults
neogit.open()

-- open commit popup
neogit.open({ "commit" })

-- open with split kind
neogit.open({ kind = "split" })

-- open home directory
neogit.open({ cwd = "~" })

The create function takes 1 optional argument that can be one of the following values:

tab (default)
replace
floating (This currently doesn't work with popups. Very unstable)
split
split_above
vsplit

Configuration

You can configure neogit by running the neogit.setup function.

local neogit = require("neogit")

neogit.setup {
  disable_signs = false,
  disable_hint = false,
  disable_context_highlighting = false,
  disable_commit_confirmation = false,
  -- Neogit refreshes its internal state after specific events, which can be expensive depending on the repository size. 
  -- Disabling `auto_refresh` will make it so you have to manually refresh the status after you open it.
  auto_refresh = true,
  disable_builtin_notifications = false,
  use_magit_keybindings = false,
  commit_popup = {
      kind = "split",
  },
  -- Change the default way of opening neogit
  kind = "tab",
  -- customize displayed signs
  signs = {
    -- { CLOSED, OPENED }
    section = { ">", "v" },
    item = { ">", "v" },
    hunk = { "", "" },
  },
  integrations = {
    -- Neogit only provides inline diffs. If you want a more traditional way to look at diffs, you can use `sindrets/diffview.nvim`.
    -- The diffview integration enables the diff popup, which is a wrapper around `sindrets/diffview.nvim`.
    --
    -- Requires you to have `sindrets/diffview.nvim` installed.
    -- use { 
    --   'TimUntersberger/neogit', 
    --   requires = { 
    --     'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim',
    --     'sindrets/diffview.nvim' 
    --   }
    -- }
    --
    diffview = false  
  },
  -- Setting any section to `false` will make the section not render at all
  sections = {
    untracked = {
      folded = false
    },
    unstaged = {
      folded = false
    },
    staged = {
      folded = false
    },
    stashes = {
      folded = true
    },
    unpulled = {
      folded = true
    },
    unmerged = {
      folded = false
    },
    recent = {
      folded = true
    },
  },
  -- override/add mappings
  mappings = {
    -- modify status buffer mappings
    status = {
      -- Adds a mapping with "B" as key that does the "BranchPopup" command
      ["B"] = "BranchPopup",
      -- Removes the default mapping of "s"
      ["s"] = "",
    }
  }
}

Right now, only the status buffer supports custom mappings.

List of status commands:

Close
Depth1 (Set foldlevel to 1)
Depth2 (Set foldlevel to 2)
Depth3 (Set foldlevel to 3)
Depth4 (Set foldlevel to 4)

Notification Highlighting

Neogit defines three highlight groups for the notifications:

hi NeogitNotificationInfo guifg=#80ff95
hi NeogitNotificationWarning guifg=#fff454
hi NeogitNotificationError guifg=#c44323

You can override them to fit your colorscheme in your vim configuration.

Contextual Highlighting

The colors for contextual highlighting are defined with these highlight groups:

hi def NeogitDiffAddHighlight guibg=#404040 guifg=#859900
hi def NeogitDiffDeleteHighlight guibg=#404040 guifg=#dc322f
hi def NeogitDiffContextHighlight guibg=#333333 guifg=#b2b2b2
hi def NeogitHunkHeader guifg=#cccccc guibg=#404040
hi def NeogitHunkHeaderHighlight guifg=#cccccc guibg=#4d4d4d

You can override them to fit your colorscheme by creating a syntax/NeogitStatus.vim in your vim configuration and adding your custom highlights there.

Disabling Contextual Highlighting

Set disable_context_highlighting = true in your call to setup to disable context highlighting altogether.

Disabling Hint

Set disable_hint = true in your call to setup to hide hints on top of the panel.

Disabling Commit Confirmation

Set disable_commit_confirmation = true in your call to setup to disable the "Are you sure you want to commit?" prompt after saving the commit message buffer.

Disabling Insert On Commit

Set disable_insert_on_commit = true in your call to setup to disable automatically changing to insert mode when opening the commit message buffer. (Disabled is the default)

Events

Neogit emits a NeogitStatusRefreshed event whenever the status gets reloaded.

You can listen to the event using the following code:

autocmd User NeogitStatusRefreshed echom "Hello World!"

Further information can be found under :h autocmd.

Magit-style Keybindings

Neogit uses 'p' for pulling instead of 'F'.

Set use_magit_keybindings = true in your call to setup to use magit-style keybindings.

Todo

Note: This file is no longer being updated.

The todo file does not represent ALL of the missing features. This file just shows the features which I noticed were missing and I have to implement.

Testing

Assure that you have plenary.nvim installed as a plugin for your neovim instance. Afterwards, run make test to run the unit test suite.

Plenary uses it's own port of busted and a bundled luassert, so consult their code and the respective busted and luassert docs for what methods are available.
