vim-github-hub

A Vim filetype plugin for github/hub ⚡

This plugin does filetype detection and syntax highlighting for buffers/files created by github/hub, a utility for working with Git + GitHub from the command line. In particular, this plugin does fancy things when you're using hub to create new issues and pull requests.

Features

• Detect ISSUE_EDITMSG and PULLREQ_EDITMSG as a custom filetype.
• Use this custom filetype to highlight as markdown
  • Support vim-pandoc syntax highlighting if we see it installed
• Detect comment character to highlight comments appropriately
  • Thus, if you use an alternate comment character with hub, ATX-style headings are highlighted correctly.

Install

Install using your favorite plugin manager. For example, to install using Vundle, add this line to your ~/.vimrc:

Plugin 'jez/vim-github-hub'

If you're unfamiliar with using Vim plugins, check out Vim as an IDE which will get you up to speed.

Independently of installing the plugin, if you'd like to use % as the comment character with hub, I recommend these aliases:

# Markdown pull request with hub
alias hubmdpr="hub -c core.commentChar='%' pull-request"

# Markdown issue with hub
alias hubmdis="hub -c core.commentChar='%' issue create"

Contributing

I actively welcome pull requests and issues. Feel free open them at your leisure.
