  • Neovim: creating keymaps in lua
    4 projects | dev.to | 11 Mar 2024
    I would use this feature of lazy.nvim in a plugin that I rarely need. Something neogit for example. I can spend hours coding without using it. In that particular case I think is nice to have the option to load it when I actually call it.

    This looks very much like the Noevim plugin I began using about a month ago: neogit[0].

    The keybindings were a bit rough, and it took me about an hour of use before I was really comfortable with the overall workflow. Once I was, though, I’ve found it to be much faster than my previous workflow (suspending neovim and using git directly in the shell).

  • What IDEA or Vscode feature/function you want to have in neovim eco-system?

    This is what I use for general git interaction and it‘s pretty neat: neogit. Also integrates diffview
  • Magit

    For neovim users, there's a work-in-progress clone, neogit: https://github.com/timUntersberger/neogit/

    Some of my colleagues use emacs/magit, and after seeing how absolutely lovely the workflow is, I've put in a lot of work over the last few months expanding it. You can check out my fork here: https://github.com/ckolkey/neogit/

    One thing I particularly like to tease my emacs' colleagues about is that my magit is faster than theirs thanks to neovim's async capabilities.

    You could use neogit (https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) for basic commands however I have found it's easier / more versatile to just use lazygit in either another tmux tmux window or within neovim itself.
  • Switching from Emacs. My experience
    20 projects | /r/neovim | 24 May 2023
    The only thing I truly miss from Emacs is [Magit](https://magit.vc/) since I still consider it the best git wrapper available. It is just too good. Unfortunately [Neogit](https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) is not quite there yet although I hope it makes it at some point. I didn't like [Fugitive]https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive), but I ended up finding a good enough workaround by using [Lazygit](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit) through [Toggleterm](https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim).
