netman.nvim VS gitsigns.nvim

Hello Neovimers :) I posted this on the netman repo as well but I just wanted some opinions from users who use netman.

Lazy self promotion of netman.nvim which is designed to give you browse (and edit/read access) of remote systems without actually needing any configurations on said remote systems :)

I haven't been super active lately but Netman.nvim is my attempt to give neovim a solid remote editing experience. I've been taking a bit of time to myself though but it's still relatively stable for ssh and docker.

If you are really interested in doing this yourself with loop, you should take a look at either plenary.job or netman.shell (I made the latter) as both are very well documented.

If there are any users of Netman already that also use windows (or users of Neovim that want to use Netman but can't because they are on a windows machine), please checkout the windows-compat branch!

Does that not write out to the current pty? That is an issue I have been facing with generic ssh support in netman. I have yet to come up with a decent solution to it :(

A quick bullet point list of features that are included in this point update - Mostly complete Neo-tree integration - Moving files and directories between hosts (including between docker containers and ssh servers) - Auto opening your remote "home" directory in ssh - A complete rewrite of how our "integration" with neovim works - A completely new logging system - A new event system

The password issue is currently something I am looking to address in netman though exploration into the area has proven unfruitful so far :/

Netman supports remote editing of files over ssh.

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 :)
