# fugitive.vim
Fugitive is the premier Vim plugin for Git. Or maybe it's the premier Git
plugin for Vim? Either way, it's "so awesome, it should be illegal". That's
why it's called Fugitive.
The crown jewel of Fugitive is `:Git` (or just `:G`), which calls any
arbitrary Git command. If you know how to use Git at the command line, you
know how to use `:Git`. It's vaguely akin to `:!git` but with numerous
improvements:
* The default behavior is to directly echo the command's output. Quiet
commands like `:Git add` avoid the dreaded "Press ENTER or type command to
continue" prompt.
* `:Git commit`, `:Git rebase -i`, and other commands that invoke an editor do
their editing in the current Vim instance.
* `:Git diff`, `:Git log`, and other verbose, paginated commands have their
output loaded into a temporary buffer. Force this behavior for any command
with `:Git --paginate` or `:Git -p`.
* `:Git blame` uses a temporary buffer with maps for additional triage. Press
enter on a line to view the commit where the line changed, or `g?` to see
other available maps. Omit the filename argument and the currently edited
file will be blamed in a vertical, scroll-bound split.
* `:Git mergetool` and `:Git difftool` load their changesets into the quickfix
list.
* Called with no arguments, `:Git` opens a summary window with dirty files and
unpushed and unpulled commits. Press `g?` to bring up a list of maps for
numerous operations including diffing, staging, committing, rebasing, and
stashing. (This is the successor to the old `:Gstatus`.)
* This command (along with all other commands) always uses the current
buffer's repository, so you don't need to worry about the current working
directory.
Additional commands are provided for higher level operations:
* View any blob, tree, commit, or tag in the repository with `:Gedit` (and
`:Gsplit`, etc.). For example, `:Gedit HEAD~3:%` loads the current file as
it existed 3 commits ago.
* `:Gdiffsplit` (or `:Gvdiffsplit`) brings up the staged version of the file
side by side with the working tree version. Use Vim's diff handling
capabilities to apply changes to the staged version, and write that buffer
to stage the changes. You can also give an arbitrary `:Gedit` argument to
diff against older versions of the file.
* `:Gread` is a variant of `git checkout -- filename` that operates on the
buffer rather than the file itself. This means you can use `u` to undo it
and you never get any warnings about the file changing outside Vim.
* `:Gwrite` writes to both the work tree and index versions of a file, making
it like `git add` when called from a work tree file and like `git checkout`
when called from the index or a blob in history.
* `:Ggrep` is `:grep` for `git grep`. `:Glgrep` is `:lgrep` for the same.
* `:GMove` does a `git mv` on the current file and changes the buffer name to
match. `:GRename` does the same with a destination filename relative to the
current file's directory.
* `:GDelete` does a `git rm` on the current file and simultaneously deletes
the buffer. `:GRemove` does the same but leaves the (now empty) buffer
open.
* `:GBrowse` to open the current file on the web front-end of your favorite
hosting provider, with optional line range (try it in visual mode). Plugins
are available for popular providers such as [GitHub][rhubarb.vim],
[GitLab][fugitive-gitlab.vim], [Bitbucket][fubitive.vim],

## Installation
Install using your favorite package manager, or use Vim's built-in package
support:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
cd ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
git clone https://tpope.io/vim/fugitive.git
vim -u NONE -c "helptags fugitive/doc" -c q
## FAQ
> What happened to the dispatch.vim backed asynchronous `:Gpush` and
> `:Gfetch`?
This behavior was divisive, confusing, and complicated inputting passwords, so
it was removed. Use `:Git! push` to use Fugitive's own asynchronous
execution, or retroactively make `:Git push` asynchronous by pressing
`CTRL-D`.
> Why am I getting `core.worktree is required when using an external Git dir`?
Git generally sets `core.worktree` for you automatically when necessary, but
if you're doing something weird, or using a third-party tool that does
something weird, you may need to set it manually:
git config core.worktree "$PWD"
This may be necessary even when simple `git` commands seem to work fine
without it.
> So I have a symlink and...
Stop. Just stop. If Git won't deal with your symlink, then Fugitive won't
either. Consider using a [plugin that resolves
symlinks](https://github.com/aymericbeaumet/symlink.vim), or even better,
using fewer symlinks.
