use {
'lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim',
requires = {
'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
},
-- tag = 'release' -- To use the latest release
}
Plug 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
Plug 'lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim'
For basic setup with all batteries included:
require('gitsigns').setup()
If using packer.nvim gitsigns can be setup directly in the plugin spec:
use {
'lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim',
requires = {
'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
},
config = function()
require('gitsigns').setup()
end
}
Configuration can be passed to the setup function. Here is an example with most of the default settings:
require('gitsigns').setup {
signs = {
add = {hl = 'GitSignsAdd' , text = '│', numhl='GitSignsAddNr' , linehl='GitSignsAddLn'},
change = {hl = 'GitSignsChange', text = '│', numhl='GitSignsChangeNr', linehl='GitSignsChangeLn'},
delete = {hl = 'GitSignsDelete', text = '_', numhl='GitSignsDeleteNr', linehl='GitSignsDeleteLn'},
topdelete = {hl = 'GitSignsDelete', text = '‾', numhl='GitSignsDeleteNr', linehl='GitSignsDeleteLn'},
changedelete = {hl = 'GitSignsChange', text = '~', numhl='GitSignsChangeNr', linehl='GitSignsChangeLn'},
},
signcolumn = true, -- Toggle with `:Gitsigns toggle_signs`
numhl = false, -- Toggle with `:Gitsigns toggle_numhl`
linehl = false, -- Toggle with `:Gitsigns toggle_linehl`
word_diff = false, -- Toggle with `:Gitsigns toggle_word_diff`
watch_gitdir = {
interval = 1000,
follow_files = true
},
attach_to_untracked = true,
current_line_blame = false, -- Toggle with `:Gitsigns toggle_current_line_blame`
current_line_blame_opts = {
virt_text = true,
virt_text_pos = 'eol', -- 'eol' | 'overlay' | 'right_align'
delay = 1000,
ignore_whitespace = false,
},
current_line_blame_formatter_opts = {
relative_time = false
},
sign_priority = 6,
update_debounce = 100,
status_formatter = nil, -- Use default
max_file_length = 40000,
preview_config = {
-- Options passed to nvim_open_win
border = 'single',
style = 'minimal',
relative = 'cursor',
row = 0,
col = 1
},
yadm = {
enable = false
},
}
For information on configuring neovim via lua please see nvim-lua-guide.
Gitsigns provides an on_attach
callback which can be used to setup buffer mappings.
Here is a suggested example:
require('gitsigns').setup{
...
on_attach = function(bufnr)
local gs = package.loaded.gitsigns
local function map(mode, l, r, opts)
opts = opts or {}
opts.buffer = bufnr
vim.keymap.set(mode, l, r, opts)
end
-- Navigation
map('n', ']c', "&diff ? ']c' : '<cmd>Gitsigns next_hunk<CR>'", {expr=true})
map('n', '[c', "&diff ? '[c' : '<cmd>Gitsigns prev_hunk<CR>'", {expr=true})
-- Actions
map({'n', 'v'}, '<leader>hs', gs.stage_hunk)
map({'n', 'v'}, '<leader>hr', gs.reset_hunk)
map('n', '<leader>hS', gs.stage_buffer)
map('n', '<leader>hu', gs.undo_stage_hunk)
map('n', '<leader>hR', gs.reset_buffer)
map('n', '<leader>hp', gs.preview_hunk)
map('n', '<leader>hb', function() gs.blame_line{full=true} end)
map('n', '<leader>tb', gs.toggle_current_line_blame)
map('n', '<leader>hd', gs.diffthis)
map('n', '<leader>hD', function() gs.diffthis('~') end)
map('n', '<leader>td', gs.toggle_deleted)
-- Text object
map({'o', 'x'}, 'ih', ':<C-U>Gitsigns select_hunk<CR>')
end
}
Note this requires Neovim v0.7 which introduces vim.keymap.set
. If you are using Neovim with version prior to v0.7 then use the following:
Click to expand
require('gitsigns').setup {
...
on_attach = function(bufnr)
local function map(mode, lhs, rhs, opts)
opts = vim.tbl_extend('force', {noremap = true, silent = true}, opts or {})
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(bufnr, mode, lhs, rhs, opts)
end
-- Navigation
map('n', ']c', "&diff ? ']c' : '<cmd>Gitsigns next_hunk<CR>'", {expr=true})
map('n', '[c', "&diff ? '[c' : '<cmd>Gitsigns prev_hunk<CR>'", {expr=true})
-- Actions
map('n', '<leader>hs', '<cmd>Gitsigns stage_hunk<CR>')
map('v', '<leader>hs', '<cmd>Gitsigns stage_hunk<CR>')
map('n', '<leader>hr', '<cmd>Gitsigns reset_hunk<CR>')
map('v', '<leader>hr', '<cmd>Gitsigns reset_hunk<CR>')
map('n', '<leader>hS', '<cmd>Gitsigns stage_buffer<CR>')
map('n', '<leader>hu', '<cmd>Gitsigns undo_stage_hunk<CR>')
map('n', '<leader>hR', '<cmd>Gitsigns reset_buffer<CR>')
map('n', '<leader>hp', '<cmd>Gitsigns preview_hunk<CR>')
map('n', '<leader>hb', '<cmd>lua require"gitsigns".blame_line{full=true}<CR>')
map('n', '<leader>tb', '<cmd>Gitsigns toggle_current_line_blame<CR>')
map('n', '<leader>hd', '<cmd>Gitsigns diffthis<CR>')
map('n', '<leader>hD', '<cmd>lua require"gitsigns".diffthis("~")<CR>')
map('n', '<leader>td', '<cmd>Gitsigns toggle_deleted<CR>')
-- Text object
map('o', 'ih', ':<C-U>Gitsigns select_hunk<CR>')
map('x', 'ih', ':<C-U>Gitsigns select_hunk<CR>')
end
}
Implement every feature in vim-fugitive
This plugin is actively developed and by one of the most well regarded vim plugin developers. Gitsigns will only implement features of this plugin if: it is simple, or, the technologies leveraged by Gitsigns (LuaJIT, Libuv, Neovim's API, etc) can provide a better experience.
There aren't any active developers of this plugin who use other kinds of VCS, so adding support for them isn't feasible. However a well written PR with a commitment of future support could change this.
Use b:gitsigns_status
or b:gitsigns_status_dict
. b:gitsigns_status
is
formatted using config.status_formatter
. b:gitsigns_status_dict
is a
dictionary with the keys added
, removed
, changed
and head
.
Example:
set statusline+=%{get(b:,'gitsigns_status','')}
For the current branch use the variable b:gitsigns_head
.

As of 2021-07-05
If installed, stage_hunk()
and reset_hunk()
are repeatable with the .
(dot) operator.
When viewing revisions of a file (via :0Gclog
for example), Gitsigns will attach to the fugitive buffer with the base set to the commit immediately before the commit of that revision. This means the signs placed in the buffer reflect the changes introduced by that revision of the file.
Null-ls can provide code actions from Gitsigns. To setup:
local null_ls = require("null-ls")
null_ls.setup {
sources = {
null_ls.builtins.code_actions.gitsigns,
...
}
}
Will enable :lua vim.lsp.buf.code_action()
to retrieve code actions from Gitsigns.
Alternatively if you have telescope.nvim installed, you can use :Telescope lsp_code_actions
.
If installed and enabled (via config.trouble
; defaults to true if installed), :Gitsigns setqflist
or :Gitsigns seqloclist
will open Trouble instead of Neovim's built-in quickfix or location list windows.
