Is there a component to display current git repo name?

Didn't find this in current components

All of the git providers work through the gitsigns plugin and the information is queried through the following table:

https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim/blob/a36bc3360d584d39b4fb076d855c4180842d4444/etc/doc_template.txt#L123

I do not see a repo name key in that table. You could check in gitsigns if another table holds that information and then display it by making a custom provider in feline.

Doing some quick google searching, it doesn't appear that a "repo name" is a concept in Git. The repo name is just the name of the directory where the files are stored.

In Git, there's no concept of a repository name. The repository itself is kept under a directory in the file system (the one that contains the .git directory) and you can get the name of that directory with the following command:

basename git rev-parse --show-toplevel

You could make a custom provider that runs that command to retrieve the directory name and display that.

If you cloned the repository, you could extract the "name" from the URL by running: git remote show origin in a custom provider and then parsing the output.

@freddiehaddad I've tried this one:

    component.repo = {
      provider = function()
        local cmd = "!basename $(git remote show origin)"
        return vim.api.nvim_command_output(cmd)
      end,
    }

but it all freezes the second I opening neovim

[freddiehaddad]

basename returns the name at the end of a file path, not a URL. Can't be used for extract the repo name from the URL as you're doing. That would require a regular expression or similar.

[karambaq]

Ok, can you please provide any example of provider which uses git command and will work with feline? Because now I'm trying anything and nothing works

I'll look at this week. Was out of town for the 4th of July holiday.

[freddiehaddad]

        provider = function()
	  -- Get the repo url
          local repo = vim.fn.system({ "git", "remote", "get-url", "origin" })
	  -- Trim the newline
          repo = repo:gsub("%s+", "")
	  -- Extract the part you want here...
          return repo
        end,

This should get you going.. It will run the command to get the URL and trim the newline.

You'll want to extract the part you want using a regular expression or substring search and use indices.

You're also going to want to add some error handling in case you're in a directory that's not a git repository.

Lastly, this is kind of an expensive function to run on each statusline update. So you might want to incorporate some logic to track if there's a reason to run the command (i.e. switching to a new project).
