Plugin for calling lazygit from within neovim.
Install using vim-plug
:
" nvim v0.4.3
Plug 'kdheepak/lazygit.nvim', { 'branch': 'nvim-v0.4.3' }
" nvim nightly
Plug 'kdheepak/lazygit.nvim'
Feel free to use any plugin manager.
Just remember that if you are not using neovim nightly, you will need to use the nvim-v0.4.3
branch.
Integration with nvr
works better on the default branch.
You can check what version of neovim
you have:
nvim --version
The following are configuration options and their defaults.
let g:lazygit_floating_window_winblend = 0 " transparency of floating window
let g:lazygit_floating_window_scaling_factor = 0.9 " scaling factor for floating window
let g:lazygit_floating_window_corner_chars = ['╭', '╮', '╰', '╯'] " customize lazygit popup window corner characters
let g:lazygit_use_neovim_remote = 1 " for neovim-remote support
Call :LazyGit
to start a floating window with lazygit
.
And set up a mapping to call :LazyGit
:
" setup mapping to call :LazyGit
nnoremap <silent> <leader>lg :LazyGit<CR>
Open the configuration file for lazygit
directly from vim.
:LazyGitConfig<CR>
If the file does not exist it'll load the defaults for you.
Using neovim-remote
If you have neovim-remote and have configured to use it in neovim, it'll launch the commit editor inside your neovim instance when you use C
inside lazygit
.
-
pip install neovim-remote
-
Add the following to your
~/.bashrc
:
if [ -n "$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS" ]; then
alias nvim=nvr -cc split --remote-wait +'set bufhidden=wipe'
fi
- Set
EDITOR
environment variable in~/.bashrc
:
if [ -n "$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS" ]; then
export VISUAL="nvr -cc split --remote-wait +'set bufhidden=wipe'"
export EDITOR="nvr -cc split --remote-wait +'set bufhidden=wipe'"
else
export VISUAL="nvim"
export EDITOR="nvim"
fi
- Add the following to
~/.vimrc
:
if has('nvim') && executable('nvr')
let $GIT_EDITOR = "nvr -cc split --remote-wait +'set bufhidden=wipe'"
endif
If you have neovim-remote
and don't want lazygit.nvim
to use it, you can disable it using the following configuration option:
let g:lazygit_use_neovim_remote = 0
