lambdalisue / vim-fern-git-status Goto Github PK

Hello,

By default fern-git-status will emit git status type details, two characters inside square bracket taking up four spaces.

That is fine as a default.

But, I would like to use just a single Unicode character such as ● or ✖ to indicate dirty state. I don't want [ M] in my file tree.

The g:fern_git_status#indexed_character and g:fern_git_status#stained_character flags are good, but they take up four spaces since square bracket and space will surround those characters. Single character symbol is my aim.

Is that possible now? If not, then I would request it as an enhancement request.

Many thanks, you are doing great work.

Obviously a low priority bug, but when opening the current directory in neovim using the terminal (e.g., using the command nvim .), colouring for git-status doesn't appear.
If opening fern after first opening neovim (eg. :Fern . or :e .), colouring is present.

The problem can be reproduced on neovim v0.5.0 with the below vimrc.

if exists('+compatible') && &compatible
  set nocompatible
endif

Thank you for the plugin!

Hello,

fern-git-status has a performance section in the front page README. That is helpful.

I suggest the following addition which really does help for Linux Kernel sized repositories:

For large repositories it is also recommended to enable the Git (2.24+) manyFiles feature:

git config feature.manyFiles true

Git for windows is

>git rev-parse --show-toplevel
C:/home/develop/Cica

but with msys2, it shows

$ git rev-parse --show-toplevel
/home/<username>/develop/Cica

thus the plugin does not work on msys2

https://github.com/lambdalisue/fern-git-status.vim/blob/151336335d3b6975153dad77e60049ca7111da8e/autoload/fern_git_status.vim#L60

  echom a:status_map  " {'E:\Downloads\testc/1.cxx': '??''}
  echom path  " /E:/Downloads/testc/1.c

I get the error below when using fern and fern-git-status.vim. The error goes away as soon as I no longer load fern-git-status.vim.

[fern] ERROR: {'throwpoint': '/nix/store/yl9cddnld5gq63vadc9pgb18m3r9mg9z-vimplugin-fern-vim-2021-01-20/share/vim-plugins/fern-vim/autoload/fern/logger.vim, line 82', 'exception': 'Vim(let):E741: Value is locked: g:fern#logger#DEBUG'}

And this is the line it links to

let g:fern#logger#DEBUG = g:fern#DEBUG

Hello @lambdalisue,

The g:fern_git_status_disable_startup flag is available to disable fern-git-status by default. That is useful, since git status, even with performance optimisation, can still be an expensive task.

I would like to have a mapping to allow the toggling of fern-git-status just as I currently have for toggling marks and hidden files:

nmap <buffer> m <Plug>(fern-action-mark-toggle)j
nmap <buffer> h <Plug>(fern-action-hidden-toggle)

I use these often.

If possible, I would like something similar for fern-git-status:

nmap <buffer> g <Plug>(fern-action-git-status-toggle)

When I hit g I get git-status details (due to g:fern_git_status_disable_startup being set to 1), even if this causes pause or slowdown. When I no longer want git-status details, maybe because performance is a little slower, I hit g again and they disappear as if the fern-git-status was never loaded to begin with.

If this is too hard, just close this. But if possible, it would be very handy.

Best regards.

I was wondering if it'd be in scope for this plugin to allow hiding gitignored files/directories. Toggle functionality similar to fern-action-hidden:toggle would be really nice to have. Say fern-git-status-action-ignored:toggle.

README doesnj't say how to install

I startup vim and neovim with a minimal vimrc, still couldn't show git status. VIMRC is below:

if has('vim_starting')
  set nocompatible
endif
set packpath=
set runtimepath+=\~/vimfiles/plugged/fern.vim
set runtimepath+=\~/vimfiles/plugged/fern-plugin-git.vim
filetype plugin indent on
syntax on
nnoremap \<silent> <Leader>e :Fern . -drawer -keep -toggle\<CR>

When the width of fern is small, it hides the status. Would be great if there is option to place it before the file/directory name

Is it possible to change the colors of the notifiers? I noticed my colors aren't exactly right and they are matching the directory colors instead.

Speed of the plugin is very slow. And when it is searching for git changes vim is almost unusable cause it's freezy.

vim 8.2.1110
st-terminal
freeebsd

Exists some way to change the current structure to icons like Powerline?

Folders with modified and untracked/ignored files should show 'modified' symbol on folder. modified > untracked/ignored
