svls VS vim-gitgutter

svls

I can attest first-hand to the "headache" that comes from semi company simulation environments. Not only are they horribly outdated (in Perl/Tcl), but they're different at every company you work at. There's no gold standard because the standard that these EDA companies ought to be making doesn't exist.

There needs to be an open initiative between semi companies to create a standard simulation environment -- with compilers, unit-test frameworks, and all sorts of simulation (gate-level, analog/mixed signal, emulation, etc). Hell, just give me a free IDE plugin for SystemVerilog that actually works.

This lack of a standard seems to me like the critical path in hardware design. I'm trying to support projects to fix this like SVLS (A language server for SystemVerilog: https://github.com/dalance/svls) but these are all hard problems to solve. This industry is relatively niche and doesn't seem to have many engineers interested in FOSS.

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.
