  • Is there a way of setting a global variable when switching the project?
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 5 Jul 2023
    Hello, I am using https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim for managing projects, and I would like to change a global variable's value depending on the project I switched to. Something like an event when switching, and also the an api with the current project information. I don't find anything

  • Telescope: how to search project directory?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 5 Jun 2023
    You can use one of the "rooter" plugins like this one to dynamically change your working directory: https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim

    https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim I have never used this but it seems to involve defining "projects", and any time you enter a project, whatever settings you require (such as current working directory) will get set up for you.
  • How to manage projects efficiently in neovim using telescope

    Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but projects.nvim automatically changes your pwd in nvim. If you then use telescope's find_files and to search in the pwd, you basically get project-scoped searches. https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim
  • Noob question about projects

    Not sure what you mean by that. Perhaps your looking for a fuzzy finder. I use telescope for most of this. It can be used to find any file in your project and there's extensions for pulling up projects

    Sharing a lightweight plugin I wrote yesterday which provides some functions for accessing previously used current working directories. I know that this is similar to some other "workspace" / "project" plugins which already exist, so I've pasted the motivation section from the README. >I work in a large monorepo and change my working directory depending on what part of the codebase I'm looking at to give my LSP (gopls) a chance and to improve the usefulness of fuzzy finding files. I want to change the current working directory back to a previously used one without having to configure a "project" or "workspace" beforehand. This requirement is not satisfied (as far as I can tell) by existing similar plugins: > - project.nvim > - telescope-project.nvim > - workspaces.nvim. > - neovim-session-manager > olddirs.nvim is very lightweight and doesn't provide any niceties (out of the box) like some of the above plugins, it's literally just :oldfiles for directories. > \ I say "out of the box" since some features like the searching or browsing of files inside a previous directory can be implemented by adding actions to the olddirs.nvim Telescope picker.
  • Switching between projects

    There I also this one: https://github.com/ahmedkhalf/project.nvim
  • Could use some advice for managing projects in a way that fits my mental model and codebase. Monolithic codebase with project files spread around different working directories. Or just help me change my mental model.
    7 projects | /r/neovim | 25 Oct 2022
    Here's my suggestion: 1. Change current working directory to your logical folder, so you can open file/buffers within logical folder. 2. Use different tabs for different logical folders. Because you can set different tab-local working directories. Or use plugin that automatically change working directory to the logical folder the file belongs to. project.nvim does this well. 3. If you want to open or search monolithic folder, then find file with git files or search using git root as current working folder.
