git_browse.nvim

A simple neovim plugin to open GitLab or GitHub and browse the current file.

It is basically like :Gbrowse and :Gblame from vim-fugitive + vim-rhubarb, but tailored to my specific use-case: sharing links to repos, files, and blames. Which means it is a bit smarter in edge-cases.

Features

• Browse & blame even if the current branch is not pushed to origin
• Browse a directory
• Generate GitLab links
• Works with GitLab orgs/projects/namespaces

Install

Using Packer:

use { "Morozzzko/git_browse.nvim" }

Commands

• :Blame – open blame
• :BlameLine – open blame for file navigated to cursor's line
• :BlameSelected – open blame for selected lines, works only in visual mode
• :Browse – open tree for directory / blob for file
• :BrowseLine – open tree for directory / blob for file navigated to cursor's line
• :BrowseSelected – open blof for file with selected lines, works only in visual mode

Things to do

There are a few things which are not implemented because I didn't have the specific need for it:

• Support for any OS besides macOS
• Support for complex origin names
• Thorough testing with custom GitLab setups
• Blame to specific line

PRs are welcome, though. Feel free to send one! I'll gladly accept it as long as it has a reasonable amount of tests and keeps backwards compatibility
