fugitive.vim
============
I'm not going to lie to you; fugitive.vim may very well be the best
Git wrapper of all time. Check out these features:
View any blob, tree, commit, or tag in the repository with `:Gedit` (and
`:Gsplit`, `:Gvsplit`, `:Gtabedit`, ...). Edit a file in the index and
write to it to stage the changes. Use `:Gdiff` to bring up the staged
version of the file side by side with the working tree version and use
Vim's diff handling capabilities to stage a subset of the file's
changes.
Bring up the output of `git status` with `:Gstatus`. Use `-` to
`add`/`reset` a file's changes, or `p` to `add`/`reset` `--patch` that
mofo. And guess what `:Gcommit` does!
`:Gblame` brings up an interactive vertical split with `git blame`
output. Press enter on a line to reblame the file as it stood in that
commit, or `o` to open that commit in a split.
`:Gmove` does a `git mv` on a file and simultaneously renames the
buffer. `:Gremove` does a `git rm` on a file and simultaneously deletes
the buffer.
Use `:Ggrep` to search the work tree (or any arbitrary commit) with
`git grep`, skipping over that which is not tracked in the repository.
`:Glog` loads all previous revisions of a file into the quickfix list so
you can iterate over them and watch the file evolve!
`:Gread` is a variant of `git checkout -- filename` that operates on the
buffer rather than the filename. 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.
Add `%{fugitive#statusline()}` to `'statusline'` to get an indicator
with the current branch in (surprise!) your statusline.
Oh, and of course there's `:Git` for running any arbitrary command.
