lualine.nvim VS gitsigns.nvim

Lualine.nvim - A blazing fast and easy to configure Neovim statusline written in Lua

Many of you already know I've been maintaining a fork of lualine shadmansaleh for a while.If you didn't know check this out.

See https://github.com/hoob3rt/lualine.nvim/pull/311 for more details and to see what the difference are.

# 🎁 Features - Multiple colorschemes (AKA [flavors](#-flavors)) available! - Handy CLI for loading colorschemes. - Allows user remaps. - Extensible for many use cases. - Integrations with a lot of stuff: - [Treesitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter) - [Native LSP](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig) - [Telescope](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim) - [LSP Saga](https://github.com/glepnir/lspsaga.nvim) - [Trouble](https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim) - [WhichKey](https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim) - [Git signs](https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim) - [BarBar](https://github.com/romgrk/barbar.nvim) - [NvimTree](https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua) - [Lualine](https://github.com/hoob3rt/lualine.nvim) - [Git Gutter](https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter) - [Fern](https://github.com/lambdalisue/fern.vim) - [Lightline](https://github.com/itchyny/lightline.vim) - [Dashboard](https://github.com/glepnir/dashboard-nvim) - [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/) - [Sneak](https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak) - [Neogit](https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) - [Indent Blankline](https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim)

Lualine is in a pretty similar situation. There is no activity since 05/27 and there is a fork with 32 commits waiting to be accepted.

In lualine you can have extentions . Extention confuguration is similar to normal configuration except you get to chose which filetypes to display that for . You can put extention files in your config usually ~/.config/nvim/lua/lualine/extensions folder and load them in your config :)

those are gitsigns. read :h gitsigns-highlight-groups. i think the first 3 ones (gitsignsadd, gitsignschange, gitsignsdelete) would need their background cleared.

I have installed Gitsigns in a Windows machine and when I execute the method diffthis it thinks that the new lines are differences.

Lack of tooling/LSP support compared to Lua. A rather popular neovim plugin, gitsigns, recently switched from teal to regular lua for (among other reasons) the tooling.

gitsigns.nvim

The closest one would be gitsigns

you can use gitsigns

https://github.com/lewis6991/satellite.nvim absolutely amazing choices, visual economy, integration with gitsigns and builtin vim features (marks).

It's also nice to ask him directly.

For a long time, I have been searching for solutions for asynchrony in Neovim, but what interested me the most was the one provided by gitsigns.nvim. Therefore, I decided to turn it into a separate module to make it easier to use async in Neovim. I have already created some usage examples.

Oh, the symbols are provided by gitsigns.nvim and I have set :h statuscolumn so that they appear to the right of the line numbers. The settings are done in plugin/statuscolumn.lua. I put custom single-file scripts under plugin and ftplugin, where they serve as light-weighted mini plugins, you can even find the prototype of deadcolumn.nvim there :)
