nvim-tree.lua VS vim-gitgutter

The switch was hard at first, especially file management. I was so used to the file tree on the left of my editor. I tried to replicate that in Neovim with nvim-tree but it didn’t feel the same. Until I came across oil.nvim, this was a game changer for me as it made creating, renaming and moving so much easier. That was the moment that I felt I could switch. I had tried a few of the popular Neovim distros such as Lunarvim but found them too overwhelming. I personally prefer a basic setup with not too many bells and whistles (I know, I used JetBrains before but only used 10% of that editor’s capacity and had a minimal interface configured).

This works for installing the other plugins. But I can't seem to access nvim-tree. According to the website (https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua), I should be able enter :NvimTreeOpen in neovim, but I get "Not an editor command: NvimTreeOpen." Any ideas?

For splitting the terminal you could try either toggleterm or tmux. If you want to send things from one tmux pane to another, then you can use slime. For a toggle-able filetree, you can use nvim tree.

(Neovim) nvim-tree

Also you can use your file browser such as neo-tree, nvim-tree, or even netrw.

I have almost finished customize nvim tree to equal bg colors. Can't resolve only when nvtree out of focus. What of paramets i should write? I tryied from this https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/blob/master/doc/nvim-tree-lua.txt but nothing

I was having an issue with my colorscheme Sonokai and I found my issue

Personally I use will133/vim-dirdiff plugin, but it is pretty troublesome as I need to invoke `:DirDiff /path/to/dir1 /path/to/some/dir2`. What would be ideal is to extend nvim-tree, to be able to mark two directories (in similar manner as it has bookmarks) and then execute `:DirDiff` against those marked directories, but I'm not that familiar with Lua yet to write that. ;/

The open_on_setup feature apparently has been removed in nvim-tree.lua https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua/wiki/Open-At-Startup. Look at this wiki page where you can get all the necessary helpful information there about how to configure open_on_setup.

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!

Git gutter Git status signs in the gutter (leftmost column)

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