Neogit

A git interface for Neovim, inspired by Magit.

Installation

Here's an example spec for Lazy, but you're free to use whichever plugin manager suits you.

{
  "NeogitOrg/neogit",
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",         -- required
    "sindrets/diffview.nvim",        -- optional - Diff integration

    -- Only one of these is needed, not both.
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim", -- optional
    "ibhagwan/fzf-lua",              -- optional
  },
  config = true
}

If you're not using lazy, you'll need to require and setup the plugin like so:

-- init.lua
local neogit = require('neogit')
neogit.setup {}

Compatibility

The master branch will always be compatible with the latest stable release of Neovim, and with the latest nightly build as well.

Some features may only be available using unreleased (neovim nightly) API's - to use them, set your plugin manager to track the nightly branch instead.

The nightly branch has the same stability guarantees as the master branch.

Configuration

You can configure neogit by running the neogit.setup() function, passing a table as the argument.

Default Config

local neogit = require("neogit")

neogit.setup {
  -- Hides the hints at the top of the status buffer
  disable_hint = false,
  -- Disables changing the buffer highlights based on where the cursor is.
  disable_context_highlighting = false,
  -- Disables signs for sections/items/hunks
  disable_signs = false,
  -- Changes what mode the Commit Editor starts in. `true` will leave nvim in normal mode, `false` will change nvim to
  -- insert mode, and `"auto"` will change nvim to insert mode IF the commit message is empty, otherwise leaving it in
  -- normal mode.
  disable_insert_on_commit = "auto",
  -- When enabled, will watch the `.git/` directory for changes and refresh the status buffer in response to filesystem
  -- events.
  filewatcher = {
    interval = 1000,
    enabled = true,
  },
  -- "ascii"   is the graph the git CLI generates
  -- "unicode" is the graph like https://github.com/rbong/vim-flog
  graph_style = "ascii",

Usage

You can either open Neogit by using the Neogit command:

:Neogit             " Open the status buffer in a new tab
:Neogit cwd=<cwd>   " Use a different repository path
:Neogit cwd=%:p:h   " Uses the repository of the current file
:Neogit kind=<kind> " Open specified popup directly
: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 kind option can be one of the following values:

tab (default)
replace
floating (EXPERIMENTAL! This currently doesn't work with popups. Very unstable)
split
split_above
vsplit
auto (vsplit if window would have 80 cols, otherwise split)

Buffers

Log Buffer

ll, lh, lo, ...

Shows a graph of the commit history. Hitting <cr> will open the Commit View for that commit.

The following popups are available from the log buffer, and will use the commit under the cursor, or selected, instead of prompting:

Branch Popup
Cherry Pick Popup
Revert Popup
Rebase Popup
Commit Popup
Reset Popup

Reflog Buffer

lr, lH, lO

Shows your reflog history. Hitting <cr> will open the Commit View for that commit.

The following popups are available from the reflog buffer, and will use the commit under the cursor, or selected, instead of prompting:

Branch Popup
Cherry Pick Popup
Revert Popup
Rebase Popup
Commit Popup
Reset Popup

Commit View

<cr> on a commit.

Shows details for a specific commit. The following popups are available from the commit buffer, using it's SHA instead of prompting:

Branch Popup
Cherry Pick Popup
Revert Popup
Rebase Popup
Commit Popup
Reset Popup

Status Buffer

A full list of status buffer commands can be found above under "configuration".

Fuzzy Finder

A full list of fuzzy-finder commands can be found above under "configuration". If nvim-telescope is installed, a custom finder will be used that allows for multi-select (in some places) and some other cool things. Otherwise, vim.ui.select will be used as a slightly less featurefull fallback.

Highlight Groups

See the built-in documentation for a comprehensive list of highlight groups. If your theme doesn't style a particular group, we'll try our best to do a nice job.

Events

Neogit emits the following events:

Event	Description	Event Data
`NeogitStatusRefreshed`	Status has been reloaded	`{}`
`NeogitCommitComplete`	Commit has been created	`{}`
`NeogitPushComplete`	Push has completed	`{}`
`NeogitPullComplete`	Pull has completed	`{}`
`NeogitFetchComplete`	Fetch has completed	`{}`
`NeogitBranchCreate`	Branch was created, starting from `base`	`{ branch_name: string, base: string? }`
`NeogitBranchDelete`	Branch was deleted	`{ branch_name: string }`
`NeogitBranchCheckout`	Branch was checked out	`{ branch_name: string }`
`NeogitBranchReset`	Branch was reset to a commit/branch	`{ branch_name: string, resetting_to: string }`
`NeogitBranchRename`	Branch was renamed	`{ branch_name: string, new_name: string }`
`NeogitRebase`	A rebase finished	`{ commit: string, status: "ok"\|"conflict" }`
`NeogitReset`	A branch was reset to a certain commit	`{ commit: string, mode: "soft"\|"mixed"\|"hard"\|"keep"\|"index" }`
`NeogitTagCreate`	A tag was placed on a certain commit	`{ name: string, ref: string }`
`NeogitTagDelete`	A tag was removed	`{ name: string }`
`NeogitCherryPick`	One or more commits were cherry-picked	`{ commits: string[] }`
`NeogitMerge`	A merge finished	`{ branch: string, args = string[], status: "ok"\|"conflict" }`

You can listen to the events using the following code:

autocmd User NeogitStatusRefreshed echo "Hello World!"

Or, if you prefer to configure autocommands via Lua:

local group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup('MyCustomNeogitEvents', { clear = true })
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('User', {
  pattern = 'NeogitPushComplete',
  group = group,
  callback = require('neogit').close,
})

Refreshing Neogit

If you would like to refresh Neogit manually, you can use neogit#refresh_manually in Vimscript or require('neogit').refresh_manually in lua. They both require a single file parameter.

This allows you to refresh Neogit on your own custom events

augroup DefaultRefreshEvents
  au!
  au BufWritePost,BufEnter,FocusGained,ShellCmdPost,VimResume * call <SID>neogit#refresh_manually(expand('<afile>'))
augroup END

Testing

Run make test after checking out the repo. All dependencies should get automatically downloaded to /tmp/neogit-test/
