8 INTRODUCTION                                    *fugitive*
10 Whenever you edit a file from a Git repository, a set of commands is defined
11 that serve as a gateway to Git.
13 COMMANDS                                        *fugitive-commands*
15 These commands are local to the buffers in which they work (generally, buffers
16 that are part of Git repositories).
18                                                 *fugitive-:Git*
19 :Git [args]             Run an arbitrary git command. Similar to :!git [args]
20                         but chdir to the repository tree first.
22                                                 *fugitive-:Git!*
23 :Git! [args]            Like |:Git|, but capture the output into a temp file,
24                         and edit that temp file.
26                                                 *fugitive-:Gcd*
27 :Gcd [directory]        |:cd| relative to the repository.
29                                                 *fugitive-:Glcd*
30 :Glcd [directory]       |:lcd| relative to the repository.
32                                                 *fugitive-:Gstatus*
33 :Gstatus                Bring up the output of git-status in the preview
34                         window.  The following maps, which work on the cursor
35                         line file where sensible, are provided:
37                         g?    show this help
38                         <C-N> next file
39                         <C-P> previous file

64                         U     |:Git| clean (untracked files)
65                         U     |:Git| rm (unmerged files)
67                                                 *fugitive-:Gcommit*
68 :Gcommit [args]         A wrapper around git-commit.  If there is nothing
69                         to commit, |:Gstatus| is called instead.  Unless the
70                         arguments given would skip the invocation of an editor
71                         (e.g., -m), a split window will be used to obtain a
72                         commit message, or a new tab if -v is given.  Write
73                         and close that window (:wq or |:Gwrite|) to finish the
74                         commit.  Unlike when running the actual git-commit
75                         command, it is possible (but unadvisable) to alter the
76                         index with commands like git-add and git-reset while a
77                         commit message is pending.
79                                                 *fugitive-:Gmerge*
80 :Gmerge [args]          Calls git-merge and loads errors and conflicted files
81                         into the |quickfix| list.  Opens a |:Gcommit| style
82                         split window for the commit message if the merge
83                         succeeds.  If called during a merge conflict, the
84                         conflicted files from the current index are loaded
85                         into the |quickfix| list.
87                                                 *fugitive-:Gpull*
88 :Gpull [args]           Like |:Gmerge|, but for git-pull.
90                                                 *fugitive-:Grebase*
91 :Grebase [args]         Like |:Gmerge|, but for git-rebase.  Interactive
92                         rebase not suppported.
94                                                 *fugitive-:Gpush*
95 :Gpush [args]           Invoke git-push, load the results into the |quickfix|
96                         list, and invoke |:cwindow| to reveal any errors.
97                         |:Dispatch| is used if available for asynchronous
98                         invocation.
100                                                 *fugitive-:Gfetch*
101 :Gfetch [args]          Like |:Gpush|, but for git-fetch.
103                                                 *fugitive-:Ggrep*
104 :Ggrep[!] [args]        |:grep|[!] with git-grep as 'grepprg'.
106                                                 *fugitive-:Glgrep*
107 :Glgrep[!] [args]       |:lgrep|[!] with git-grep as 'grepprg'.
109                                                 *fugitive-:Glog*
110 :Glog [args]            Load all previous revisions of the current file into
111                         the |quickfix| list.  Additional git-log arguments can
112                         be given (for example, --reverse).  If "--" appears as
113                         an argument, no file specific filtering is done, and
114                         previous commits rather than previous file revisions
115                         are loaded.
117 :{range}Glog [args]     Use git-log -L to load previous revisions of the given
118                         range of the current file into the |quickfix| list.
119                         The cursor is positioned on the first line of the
120                         first diff hunk for each commit.
122                                                 *fugitive-:Gllog*
123 :Gllog [args]           Like |:Glog|, but use the location list instead of the
124                         |quickfix| list.
126                                         *fugitive-:Gedit* *fugitive-:Ge*
127 :Gedit [revision]       |:edit| a |fugitive-revision|.
129                                                 *fugitive-:Gsplit*
130 :Gsplit [revision]      |:split| a |fugitive-revision|.
132                                                 *fugitive-:Gvsplit*
133 :Gvsplit [revision]     |:vsplit| a |fugitive-revision|.
135                                                 *fugitive-:Gtabedit*
136 :Gtabedit [revision]    |:tabedit| a |fugitive-revision|.
138                                                 *fugitive-:Gpedit*
139 :Gpedit [revision]      |:pedit| a |fugitive-revision|.
141 :Gsplit! [args]                 *fugitive-:Gsplit!* *fugitive-:Gvsplit!*
142 :Gvsplit! [args]                *fugitive-:Gtabedit!* *fugitive-:Gpedit!*
143 :Gtabedit! [args]       Like |:Git!|, but open the resulting temp file in a
144 :Gpedit! [args]         split, tab, or preview window.
146                                                 *fugitive-:Gread*
147 :Gread [revision]       Empty the buffer and |:read| a |fugitive-revision|.
148                         When the argument is omitted, this is similar to
149                         git-checkout on a work tree file or git-add on a stage
150                         file, but without writing anything to disk.
152 :{range}Gread [revision]
153                         |:read| in a |fugitive-revision| after {range}.
155                                                 *fugitive-:Gread!*
156 :Gread! [args]          Empty the buffer and |:read| the output of a Git
157                         command.  For example, :Gread! show HEAD:%.
159 :{range}Gread! [args]  |:read| the output of a Git command after {range}.
161                                         *fugitive-:Gw* *fugitive-:Gwrite*
162 :Gwrite                 Write to the current file's path and stage the results.
163                         When run in a work tree file, it is effectively git
164                         add.  Elsewhere, it is effectively git-checkout.  A
165                         great deal of effort is expended to behave sensibly
166                         when the work tree or index version of the file is
167                         open in another buffer.
169 :Gwrite {path}          You can give |:Gwrite| an explicit path of where in
170                         the work tree to write.  You can also give a path like
171                         :0:foo.txt or even :0 to write to just that stage in
172                         the index.
174                                                 *fugitive-:Gwq*
175 :Gwq [path]             Like |:Gwrite| followed by |:quit| if the write
176                         succeeded.
178 :Gwq! [path]            Like |:Gwrite|! followed by |:quit|! if the write
179                         succeeded.
181                                                 *fugitive-:Gdiff*
182 :Gdiff [revision]       Perform a |vimdiff| against the current file in the
183                         given revision.  With no argument, the version in the
184                         index is used (which means a three-way diff during a
185                         merge conflict, making it a git-mergetool
186                         alternative).  The newer of the two files is placed
187                         to the right or bottom, depending on 'diffopt' and
188                         the width of the window relative to 'textwidth'.  Use
189                         |do| and |dp| and write to the index file to simulate
190                         "git add --patch". For the three-way diff, there is
191                         also d2o and d3o pulling the hunk to the middle from
192                         the left or the right window, respectively.
194                                                 *fugitive-:Gsdiff*
195 :Gsdiff [revision]      Like |:Gdiff|, but always split horizontally.
197                                                 *fugitive-:Gvdiff*
198 :Gvdiff [revision]      Like |:Gdiff|, but always split vertically.
200                                                 *fugitive-:Gmove*
201 :Gmove {destination}    Wrapper around git-mv that renames the buffer
202                         afterward.  The destination is relative to the current
203                         directory except when started with a /, in which case
204                         it is relative to the work tree.  (This is a holdover
205                         from before |:Grename| and will be removed.)  Add a !
206                         to pass -f.
208                                                 *fugitive-:Grename*
209 :Grename {destination}  Like |:Gmove| but operates relative to the parent
210                         directory of the current file.
212                                                 *fugitive-:Gdelete*
213 :Gdelete                Wrapper around git-rm that deletes the buffer
214                         afterward.  When invoked in an index file, --cached is
215                         passed.  Add a ! to pass -f and forcefully discard the
216                         buffer.
218                                                 *fugitive-:Gremove*
219 :Gremove                Like :Gdelete, but keep the (now empty) buffer around.
221                                                 *fugitive-:Gblame*
222 :Gblame [flags]         Run git-blame on the file and open the results in a
223                         scroll bound vertical split.  You can give any of
224                         ltfnsewMC as flags and they will be passed along to
225                         git-blame.  The following maps, which work on the
226                         cursor line commit where sensible, are provided:
228                         g?    show this help
229                         A     resize to end of author column
230                         C     resize to end of commit column
231                         D     resize to end of date/time column
232                         q     close blame and return to blamed window
233                         gq    q, then |:Gedit| to return to work tree version
234                         <CR>  q, then open commit
235                         o     open commit in horizontal split
236                         O     open commit in new tab
237                         -     reblame at commit
238                         ~     reblame at [count]th first grandparent
239                         P     reblame at [count]th parent (like HEAD^[count])
241 :[range]Gblame [flags]  Run git-blame on the given range.
243                                                 *fugitive-:Gbrowse*
244 :Gbrowse                Open the current file, blob, tree, commit, or tag
245                         in your browser at the upstream hosting provider.
246                         If a range is given, it is appropriately appended to
247                         the URL as an anchor.
249                         Upstream providers can be added by installing an
250                         appropriate Vim plugin.  For example, GitHub can be
251                         supported by installing rhubarb.vim, available at
252                         <https://github.com/tpope/vim-rhubarb>.
254                         The hosting provider is determined by looking at the
255                         remote for the current or specified branch and falls
256                         back to "origin".  In the special case of a "."
257                         remote, a local instance of git-instaweb will be
258                         started and used.
260 :Gbrowse {revision}     Like :Gbrowse, but for a given |fugitive-revision|.  A
261                         useful value here is -, which ties the URL to the
262                         latest commit rather than a volatile branch.
264 :Gbrowse [...]@{remote} Force using the given remote rather than the remote
265                         for the current branch.  The remote is used to
266                         determine which GitHub repository to link to.
268 :{range}Gbrowse [args]  Appends an anchor to the URL that emphasizes the
269                         selected lines.  You almost certainly want to give a
270                         "-" argument in this case to force the URL to include
271                         an exact revision.
273 :[range]Gbrowse! [args] Like :Gbrowse, but put the URL on the clipboard rather
274                         than opening it.
276 MAPPINGS                                        *fugitive-mappings*
278 These maps are available everywhere.
280                                                 *fugitive-c_CTRL-R_CTRL-G*
281 <C-R><C-G>              On the command line, recall the path to the current
282                         object (that is, a representation of the object
283                         recognized by |:Gedit|).
285                                                 *fugitive-y_CTRL-G*
286 ["x]y<C-G>              Yank the commit SHA and path to the current object.
288 These maps are available in Git objects.
290                                                 *fugitive-<CR>*
291 <CR>                    Jump to the revision under the cursor.
293                                                 *fugitive-o*
294 o                       Jump to the revision under the cursor in a new split.
296                                                 *fugitive-S*
297 S                       Jump to the revision under the cursor in a new
298                         vertical split.
300                                                 *fugitive-O*
301 O                       Jump to the revision under the cursor in a new tab.
303                                                 *fugitive--*
304 -                       Go to the tree containing the current tree or blob.
306                                                 *fugitive-~*
307 ~                       Go to the current file in the [count]th first
308                         ancestor.
310                                                 *fugitive-P*
311 P                       Go to the current file in the [count]th parent.
313                                                 *fugitive-C*
314 C                       Go to the commit containing the current file.
316                                                 *fugitive-.*
317 .                       Start a |:| command line with the current revision
318                         prepopulated at the end of the line.
320                                                 *fugitive-a*
321 a                       Show the current tag, commit, or tree in an alternate
322                         format.
324 SPECIFYING REVISIONS                            *fugitive-revision*
326 Fugitive revisions are similar to Git revisions as defined in the "SPECIFYING
327 REVISIONS" section in the git-rev-parse man page.  For commands that accept an
328 optional revision, the default is the file in the index for work tree files
329 and the work tree file for everything else.  Example revisions follow.
331 Revision        Meaning ~
332 HEAD            .git/HEAD
333 master          .git/refs/heads/master
334 HEAD^{}         The commit referenced by HEAD
335 HEAD^           The parent of the commit referenced by HEAD
336 HEAD:           The tree referenced by HEAD
337 /HEAD           The file named HEAD in the work tree
338 Makefile        The file named Makefile in the work tree
339 HEAD^:Makefile  The file named Makefile in the parent of HEAD
340 :Makefile       The file named Makefile in the index (writable)
341 -               The current file in HEAD
342 ^               The current file in the previous commit
343 ~3              The current file 3 commits ago
344 :               .git/index (Same as |:Gstatus|)
345 :0              The current file in the index
346 :1              The current file's common ancestor during a conflict
347 :2              The current file in the target branch during a conflict
348 :3              The current file in the merged branch during a conflict
349 :/foo           The most recent commit with "foo" in the message
351 STATUSLINE                                      *fugitive-statusline*
353                                 *FugitiveStatusline()* *fugitive#statusline()*
354 Add %{FugitiveStatusline()} to your statusline to get an indicator including
355 the current branch and the currently edited file's commit.  If you don't have
356 a statusline, this one matches the default when 'ruler' is set:
358     set statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r%{FugitiveStatusline()}%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P
360                                 *FugitiveHead(...)* *fugitive#head(...)*
