##About
github-search.vim is a Vim plugin to search Github within Vim.
Here's the result of running :GHSearchRepo ruby-kata
:
-
It's faster than using the browser:
- search in browser
- copy/clone the url
- clone in terminal
- open in Vim
-
I prefer Vim to study sources, so I made it easier.
If you are a Vundle user:
- run
:BundleInstall gmarik/github-search.vim
within Vim - add
Bundle 'gmarik/github-search.vim'
to your Vundle powered.vimrc
Run in Vim
:GHSearchRepo somethin
to search Github for somethin
.
Pressing C
over the selected repo will clone the repo to ~/src/github_user/github_repo
. To change the destination path, set the g:github_search_path_format
variable in your vimfiles. There are three placeholders that will be replaced.:
:repo
: the full Github repo path consisting of author/project, such asgmarik/github-search.vim
:author
: the author of the repo, in this casegmarik
:project
: the name of the project,github-search.vim
As an example, if you want to clone this repo to ~/projects/github-search.vim
, you can do that by adding the following to your vimfiles:
let g:github_search_path_format = '~/projects/:project'
##TODO
- allow the user to specify the language for a faceted type of search
- integrate with Vundle to allow search for Vim plugins
