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 :)

I personally use nerdtree. Add nerdtree-git-plugin too, that's nice when looking at your project (for files, use vim-gitgutter).

vim-gitgutter

That said, Neovim can still run most Vimscript plugins just fine, so you can still use https://github.com/chrisbra/changesPlugin (and https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter and https://github.com/mhinz/vim-signify/, which are mentioned in the README) if you want.

vim-signify or git gutter can do this for files managed by git.

https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter Since your already on neovim these plugins are excellent for git integration within vim! You may just prefer lazygit but having a tight integration in editor is definitely really nice for my personal workflow. Your approach is more unix-y where you have a tool for each job though!

vim-gitgutter supports staging/undoing hunks and a hunk text object. I find it convenient for this exact workflow.
