You don't need 'vim-rooter' (usually) or How to set up smart autochange of current directory

• vim-rooter

  9 1,110 0.0 Vim Script

  Changes Vim working directory to project root.

  The airblade/vim-rooter plugin is an essential part of my Neovim workflow. It automatically changes current directory (:h current-directory) for every buffer to a more natural one (like to path of its Git repository). For me this has the following benefits:

• mini.nvim

  85 1,926 9.2 Lua

  Library of 20+ independent Lua modules improving overall Neovim (version 0.7 and higher) experience with minimal effort

  Initially I planned to make a separate 'mini.root' module, but realized that it would mostly be a reimplementation of vim.fs. So instead I decided to add setup_auto_root() function to mini.misc. If you want a more tested and documented solution, check it out and tell me what you think. Thanks!

• NeoRoot.lua

  1 69 0.0 Lua

  Yet another light-weight rooter written in Lua

  Firstly, I respect your sharing here, but I still discourage people(especially newcomers) from using this kind of plugin/script to auto-changing "current directory". (So yes, I myself discourage people from using my own root plugin NeoRoot.lua anymore, and I've decided to execute my plan to abandon it recently.)

• suave.lua

  10 34 10.0 Lua

  Multi-tabs project session automation

  There are indeed three levels of Vim's "current directory", I made a summary during my development of the not well-known multi-tab project session automation plugin: https://github.com/nyngwang/suave.lua/issues/1. In short: it is not that simple.
