我如何让git像hg一样用hgeditor脚本显示vim中的变化？

Question

An interesting feature in mercurial is the ability to view the changes that will be committed in a vim split (see DiffsInCommitMessageInVIM ).

Any hint on how to do so with git ?

Answer 1

Assuming you've got syntax enabled, Vim detects git commit messages as a filetype. This should be obvious from highlighting. The much less obvious part is that it also has a filetype plugin for git commits (and other git things). Make sure you have those enabled ( filetype plugin on ), and then there will be a helpful command defined: DiffGitCached . Just run that, and it'll toss a diff into a preview window.

A comment next to the definition of that command in the plugin:

Automatically diffing can be done with:

autocmd FileType gitcommit DiffGitCached | wincmd p

The filetype plugins are stored in /vimXX/ftplugin/git*.vim, eg /usr/share/vim/vim70/ftplugin/gitcommit.vim , if you're curious to have a look!

Answer 2

I've modified the HGEDITOR.SH script to support Git, you can clone it here:

git clone git://github.com/dharrigan/giteditor.git

Enjoy!

Answer 3

I highly recommend tpopes's vim-fugitive plugin for working with git.

You can find it here

Answer 4

I use Pierre Habouzit's git.vim from www.vim.org. Drop it into ~/.vim/ftplugin and you should be all set (assuming the usual filetype plugin indent on in your ~/.vimrc).

Answer 5

If you're using git 2.9 and above, you can get this behaviour by running git config --global commit.verbose true .
