fugitive-gitlab.vim

fugitive.vim is undoubtedly the best Git wrapper of all time.

This plugin allows you to use it with https://gitlab.com or your own private GitLab instance.

Enables :GBrowse from fugitive.vim to open GitLab URLs
In commit messages, GitLab issues and users can be omni-completed (<C-X><C-O>, see :help compl-omni).

Installation

Install it as you would install fugitive.vim (you will also need fugitive.vim installed)

To use private GitLab instances, add the following to your .vimrc

let g:fugitive_gitlab_domains = ['https://my.gitlab.com']

If the private GitLab instance uses different URLs, for example, one for SSH and another for HTTPS, instead add the following to your .vimrc

let g:fugitive_gitlab_domains = {'my-ssh.gitlab.com': 'https://my.gitlab.com'}

Fugitive command :GBrowse will now work with GitLab URLs.

Curl is required for features that use the GitLab API (i.e., :GBrowse doesn't need it). Generate a personal access token with api permissions and add it to your vimrc

let g:gitlab_api_keys = {'gitlab.com': 'myaccesstoken'}

To use omnicompletion with a private GitLab repository

let g:gitlab_api_keys = {'gitlab.com': 'mytoken1', 'my.gitlab.private': 'mytoken2' }

Omnicompletion functionality is subject to change.

Requirements

fugitive-gitlab.vim requires a modern fugitive.vim. API features require a GitLab instance with v4 of the API.

FAQ

How do I turn off that preview window that shows the issue body?

:GBrowse produces 404s on my old self hosted GitLab

Why doesn't this plugin have a pun name?

I couldn't think of one.
