Awesome

The development of vim-gita has closed. Users should check lambdalisue/gina.vim which is a new impleomentation of vim-gita by using job features of Vim 8 or Neovim

gita is a git manipulation plugin which allow users to perform daily git operation within Vim's live session.

With gita, users can:

• Manipulate the index of the git repository
  • Stage content changes into the index
  • Unstage content changes from the index
  • Partially stage content changes into the index (like git add -p)
  • Partially unstage content changes from the index (like git reset -p)
  • Solve conflictions by using 1, 2, or 3-way diff
• Edit a commit message and commit the index into HEAD
• Edit, show, diff files in
  • A working tree of the git repository
  • A index of the git repository
  • A specified commit, branch, etc. of the git repository
• List
  • Files in the working tree of the git repository
  • Files in the index of the git repository
  • Files in a specified commit, branch, etc. of the git repository
  • Files contains specified patterns
  • Files changes between commits
• Blame a file content

And lot more.

gita uses a git repository which

• A current file-like buffer belongs
• A current working directory belongs
• An original file of the pseudo file-like buffer belongs

You may notice that this behavior is quite useful when you temporary open a file in a different git repository or in a non file-like buffer such as help or quickfix.

Additionally, gita aggressively uses cache mechanisms to improve its' performance. You would notice huge performance improvement if you are currently using system() to show git repository informations in statusline such as a current branch name or the number of modified files.

Install

Use your favorite Vim plugin manager such as junegunn/vim-plug or Shougo/dein.vim like:

" Plug.vim
Plug 'lambdalisue/vim-gita'

"Plug.vim (lazy)
Plug 'lambdalisue/vim-gita', {'on': ['Gita']}

" dein.vim
call dein#add('lambdalisue/vim-gita')

" dein.vim (lazy)
call dein#add('lambdalisue/vim-gita', {
      \ 'on_cmd': 'Gita',
      \})

Or copy contents of the repository into your runtimepath manually.

Usage

First of all, all commands which gita provides start from :Gita and all commands (including :Gita itself) provide -h/-help option to show a help message of the command.

Additionally, hitting ? in manipulation windows (e.g. gita-status) shows action and mapping helps.

See :help gita-usage for more detail.

Status

To check or modify current statuses of a git repository, use :Gita status command like below.

The status of each modified files are shown a short format. If you are not familiar with short format, see :help gita-usage-status-cheetsheet or a manpage of git-status.

Patch

To partially stage or unstage changes (like git add -p or git reset -p), use :Gita patch command on a corresponding file buffer like below. It opens three vimdiff windows which indicates a contents of

1. HEAD (gita://<refname>:show/HEAD:<filename>)
2. Index (gita://<refname>:show:patch/:<filename>)
3. Working tree (<filename>)

In INDEX window, all changes saved is patched to the index of the repository. See :help gita-usage-patch for more detail.

Conflict

To solve conflicts, use :Gita chaperone command on a conflicted file buffer like below. It opens three buffers which indicate a content of

1. OURS (gita://<refname>:show/:2:<filename>)
2. WORKTREE (<filename>)
3. THEIRS (gita://<refname>:show/:3:<filename>)

See :help gita-usage-chaperone for more detail.
