Installation

packer.nvim:

use {
  'lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim',
  requires = {
    'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
  }
}

vim-plug:

Plug 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
Plug 'lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim'

Usage

For basic setup with all batteries included:

require('gitsigns').setup()

If using packer.nvim gitsigns can be setup directly in the plugin spec:

use {
  'lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim',
  requires = {
    'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'
  },
  config = function()
    require('gitsigns').setup()
  end
}

Configuration can be passed to the setup function. Here is an example with most of the default settings:

require('gitsigns').setup {
  signs = {
    add          = {hl = 'GitSignsAdd'   , text = '│', numhl='GitSignsAddNr'   , linehl='GitSignsAddLn'},
    change       = {hl = 'GitSignsChange', text = '│', numhl='GitSignsChangeNr', linehl='GitSignsChangeLn'},
    delete       = {hl = 'GitSignsDelete', text = '_', numhl='GitSignsDeleteNr', linehl='GitSignsDeleteLn'},
    topdelete    = {hl = 'GitSignsDelete', text = '‾', numhl='GitSignsDeleteNr', linehl='GitSignsDeleteLn'},
    changedelete = {hl = 'GitSignsChange', text = '~', numhl='GitSignsChangeNr', linehl='GitSignsChangeLn'},
  },
  numhl = false,
  linehl = false,
  keymaps = {
    -- Default keymap options
    noremap = true,
    buffer = true,

    ['n ]c'] = { expr = true, "&diff ? ']c' : '<cmd>lua require\"gitsigns.actions\".next_hunk()<CR>'"},
    ['n [c'] = { expr = true, "&diff ? '[c' : '<cmd>lua require\"gitsigns.actions\".prev_hunk()<CR>'"},

    ['n <leader>hs'] = '<cmd>lua require"gitsigns".stage_hunk()<CR>',
    ['n <leader>hu'] = '<cmd>lua require"gitsigns".undo_stage_hunk()<CR>',
    ['n <leader>hr'] = '<cmd>lua require"gitsigns".reset_hunk()<CR>',
    ['n <leader>hR'] = '<cmd>lua require"gitsigns".reset_buffer()<CR>',
    ['n <leader>hp'] = '<cmd>lua require"gitsigns".preview_hunk()<CR>',
    ['n <leader>hb'] = '<cmd>lua require"gitsigns".blame_line(true)<CR>',

    -- Text objects
    ['o ih'] = ':<C-U>lua require"gitsigns.actions".select_hunk()<CR>',
    ['x ih'] = ':<C-U>lua require"gitsigns.actions".select_hunk()<CR>'
  },
  watch_index = {
    interval = 1000
  },
  current_line_blame = false,
  sign_priority = 6,
  update_debounce = 100,
  status_formatter = nil, -- Use default
  use_decoration_api = true,
  use_internal_diff = true,  -- If luajit is present
}

For information on configuring neovim via lua please see nvim-lua-guide.

Status Line

Use b:gitsigns_status or b:gitsigns_status_dict. b:gitsigns_status is formatted using config.status_formatter. b:gitsigns_status_dict is a dictionary with the keys added, removed, changed and head.

Example:

set statusline+=%{get(b:,'gitsigns_status','')}

For the current branch use the variable b:gitsigns_head.

TODO

• Add ability to show staged hunks with different signs (maybe in a different sign column?)
• Add ability to show commit in floating window of current line
• Allow extra options to be passed to git diff
• Folding of text around hunks
• Diff against working tree instead of index, or diff against any SHA.
• Open diff mode of buffer against what gitsigns is comparing to (currently the index)
• Show messages when navigating hunks similar to '/' search
