GFiles

[anstadnik]

Hi, is it possible to add the same functionality to the GFiles command?

Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with vimscript nor the FZF codebase. The implementation of GFiles can be found here.

I honestly don't know. It doesn't seem like that code has any obvious hooks to add to the command.

Hi, I've managed to implement it as following:

function! s:get_git_root()
  let root = split(system('git rev-parse --show-toplevel'), '\n')[0]
  return v:shell_error ? '' : root
endfunction

command! -bang SortedGFiles
	\ call fzf#run(fzf#wrap('sortedgfiles',
	\{'source': 'git ls-files | uniq | proximity-sort ' . @%
	\'dir': s:get_git_root(),
	\'options': '--tiebreak=index'},
	\<bang>0))

This kinda works, but when I use that function not from the root repo, it does not work, because the relative path differs compared to the path to files which are passed to the function.
Example:
The path of the reference file might be apps/potato, but paths of files that are passed to the program can be something like path/to/apps/banana.
I would appreciate if you can give me a hint about how can I fix that issue, or, if not, you can close this issue as the initial problem was fixed.

Hmm, I think maybe you can use git ls-files --full-name to work around this. In particular, you can get the root-relative path to a file using:

$ git ls-files --full-name apps/potato
path/to/apps/potato

Thank you, that works perfectly :)
