在VIM中将内置命令与外部命令链接

Question

Is there a way to chain external commmands into built in commands on the vim command line? I wanted to do something like this:

vsp !git diff --name-only

I have tried

vsp system('git', 'diff', '--name-only')

and

vsp `!git diff --name-only\`

(y'know, just in case. Other bash things seem to just work in vim) to no avail. Does anybody know of a way to do this. I would of course only have modified one file. Thanks in advance!

I also tried :execute "vsplit " . !git diff --name-only :execute "vsplit " . !git diff --name-only , vsplit exec "!git diff --name-only" , and :execute "vsplit " . exec "!git diff --name-only" :execute "vsplit " . exec "!git diff --name-only" . No luck

So I was completely off…

You only need to put git diff --name-only between backticks:

:vsplit `git diff --name-only`

Be aware that :vsplit , like :edit and friends only takes one argument so the command above will fail if you have two or more files.

You should probably use :next instead:

:vnew|next `git diff --name-only`

You could do something like this:

:vnew|0r!git diff --name-only

• create a new buffer in a vertical window,
• insert the output of git diff --name-only at the top of that empty buffer.
