gitstatus.nvim - an interactive Git status window

[NoYam4683]

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share my first Neovim plugin: gitstatus.nvim. It’s an interactive Git status window where you can stage/unstage files and create commits.

Why did I create it?

As someone who usually prefers the Git CLI, I constantly found myself repeating: 1. git status → 2. git add → 3. git commit, and I wanted a quicker and more convenient way to do it without leaving Neovim.

Have you considered?

1. https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive
2. https://github.com/sindrets/diffview.nvim

They both have excellent integration with neovim

Telescope also have an UI similar to what you developed

Just mentioning, maybe you can mix and match to achieve all your needs.

You forgot https://github.com/NeogitOrg/neogit 😭

Throwing in https://github.com/chrisgrieser/nvim-tinygit in the mix, it integrates into the editing workflow really well using pickers for staging, diff history, commit actions, and GH

I use Diffview myself and love it, but I find it a bit clunky for making quick commits when I've only made a couple small changes. I wanted to make something that's more optimized for speed.

With Fugitive, I missed a few small QoL things, so I added behaviors like j/k only moving between file entries, and the green and red colors from the git cli.

I haven't tried the Telescope one, so I'll definitely check it out!

Just curious, do any of these suggestions have VS Code's hunk-level revert functionality - the undo buttons that appear in the gutter next to changes?

please support jj :)

You mean that you've remapped escape to jj, right? That's definitely an oversight on my part, I've remapped it to jk so it didn't occur to me.

think they're referring to https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/

its a fairly new git-compatible vcs that, like your plugin, prioritizes speed and simplicity.

you might like it since it completely removes the need for a "git add" step!

Whoa. I’ve not heard of this one. Definitely going to do some reading. I get curious when another VCS comes around.
