INTRODUCTION *fugitive*
Whenever you edit a file from a Git repository, a set of commands is defined
that serve as a gateway to Git.
COMMANDS *fugitive-commands*
These commands are local to the buffers in which they work (generally, buffers
that are part of Git repositories).
*:Git* *fugitive-:G*
:Git {args} Run an arbitrary git command and display any output.
:G {args} On UNIX this uses a pty and on other platforms it uses
a pipe, which will cause some behavior differences
such as the absence of progress bars. Any file the
command edits (for example, a commit message) will be
loaded into a split window. Closing that window will
resume running the command. A few Git subcommands
have different behavior; these are documented below.
*:Git_--paginate* *:Git_-p*
:Git --paginate {args} Run an arbitrary git command, capture output to a temp
:Git -p {args} file, and |:split| that temp file. Use :0Git to
:G --paginate {args} |:edit| the temp file instead. A temp file is always
:G -p {args} used for commands like diff and log that typically
user a pager, and for any command that has the
pager.<cmd> Git configuration option set.
*fugitive-summary*
:Git With no arguments, bring up a summary window vaguely
:G akin to git-status. Press g? or see |fugitive-maps|
for usage.
*:Git_blame*
:Git blame [flags] Run git-blame [flags] on the current file and open the
results in a scroll-bound vertical split. The
following maps, which work on the cursor line commit
where sensible, are provided:
g? show this help
A resize to end of author column
C resize to end of commit column
D resize to end of date/time column
gq close blame, then |:Gedit| to return to work
tree version
<CR> close blame, and jump to patch that added line
(or directly to blob for boundary commit)
o jump to patch or blob in horizontal split
O jump to patch or blob in new tab
p jump to patch or blob in preview window
- reblame at commit
~ reblame at [count]th first grandparent
P reblame at [count]th parent (like HEAD^[count])
*g:fugitive_dynamic_colors*
In the GUI or a 256 color terminal, commit hashes will
highlighted in different colors. To disable this:
>
let g:fugitive_dynamic_colors = 0
<
:[range]Git blame [...] If a range is given, just that part of the file will
:Git blame [...] {file} be blamed, and a horizontal split without
scrollbinding is used. You can also give an arbitrary
filename.
*:Git_difftool*
:Git[!] difftool [args] Invoke `git diff [args]` and load the changes into the
quickfix list. Each changed hunk gets a separate
quickfix entry unless you pass an option like
--name-only or --name-status. Jumps to the first
change unless [!] is given.
:Git difftool -y [args] Invoke `git diff [args]`, open each changed file in a
new tab, and invoke |:Gdiffsplit!| against the
appropriate commit.
*:Git_mergetool*
:Git mergetool [args] Like |:Git_difftool|, but target merge conflicts.
*:Ggrep* *:Gcgrep* *:Git_grep*
:Ggrep[!] [args] |:grep|[!] with git-grep as 'grepprg'.
:Git[!] grep [args]
*:Glgrep*
:Glgrep[!] [args] |:lgrep|[!] with git-grep as 'grepprg'.
:0Git[!] grep [args]
*:Gclog*
:Gclog[!] [args] Use git-log [args] to load the commit history into the
|quickfix| list. Jumps to the first commit unless [!]
is given.
The quickfix list can be awkward for many use cases
and exhibits extremely poor performance with larger
data sets. Consider using |:Git| log instead.
:{range}Gclog[!] [args] Use git-log -L to load previous revisions of the given
range of the current file into the |quickfix| list.
The cursor is positioned on the first line of the
first diff hunk for each commit. Use :0Gclog to
target the entire file.
*:Gllog*
:Gllog [args] Like |:Gclog|, but use the location list instead of the
|quickfix| list.
*:Gcd*
:Gcd [directory] |:cd| relative to the repository.
*:Glcd*
:Glcd [directory] |:lcd| relative to the repository.
*:Gedit* *fugitive-:Ge*
:Gedit [object] |:edit| a |fugitive-object|.
*:Gsplit*
:Gsplit [object] |:split| a |fugitive-object|.
*:Gvsplit*
:Gvsplit [object] |:vsplit| a |fugitive-object|.
*:Gtabedit*
:Gtabedit [object] |:tabedit| a |fugitive-object|.
*:Gpedit*
:Gpedit [object] |:pedit| a |fugitive-object|.
*:Gread* *fugitive-:Gr*
:Gread [object] Empty the buffer and |:read| a |fugitive-object|.
When the argument is omitted, this is similar to
git-checkout on a work tree file or git-add on a stage
file, but without writing anything to disk.
:{range}Gread [object] |:read| in a |fugitive-object| after {range}.
*:Gread!* *fugitive-:Gr!*
:Gread! [args] Empty the buffer and |:read| the output of a Git
command. For example, :Gread! show HEAD:%.
:{range}Gread! [args] |:read| the output of a Git command after {range}.
*:Gwrite* *fugitive-:Gw*
:Gwrite Write to the current file's path and stage the results.
When run in a work tree file, it is effectively git
add. Elsewhere, it is effectively git-checkout. A
great deal of effort is expended to behave sensibly
when the work tree or index version of the file is
open in another buffer.
:Gwrite {path} You can give |:Gwrite| an explicit path of where in
the work tree to write. You can also give a path like
:0:foo.txt or :0:% to write to just that stage in
the index.
*:Gwq*
:Gwq [path] Like |:Gwrite| followed by |:quit| if the write
succeeded.
:Gwq! [path] Like |:Gwrite|! followed by |:quit|! if the write
succeeded.
*:Gdiffsplit*
:Gdiffsplit [object] Perform a |vimdiff| against the given file, or if a
commit is given, the current file in that commit.
With no argument, the version in the index or work
tree is used. The newer of the two files is placed to
the right or bottom, depending on 'diffopt' and the
width of the window relative to 'textwidth'. Use
Vim's |do| and |dp| to stage and unstage changes.
*:Gdiffsplit!*
:Gdiffsplit! Diff against any and all direct ancestors, retaining
focus on the current window. During a merge conflict,
this is a three-way diff against the "ours" and
"theirs" ancestors. Additional d2o and d3o maps are
provided to obtain the hunk from the "ours" or
"theirs" ancestor, respectively.
:Gdiffsplit! {object} Like |:Gdiffsplit|, but retain focus on the current
window.
*:Gvdiffsplit*
:Gvdiffsplit [object] Like |:Gdiffsplit|, but always split vertically.
*:Ghdiffsplit*
:Ghdiffsplit [object] Like |:Gdiffsplit|, but always split horizontally.
*:GMove*
:GMove {destination} Wrapper around git-mv that renames the buffer
afterward. Add a ! to pass -f.
*:GRename*
:GRename {destination} Like |:GMove| but operates relative to the parent
directory of the current file.
*:GDelete*
:GDelete Wrapper around git-rm that deletes the buffer
afterward. When invoked in an index file, --cached is
passed. Add a ! to pass -f and forcefully discard the
buffer.
*:GRemove*
:GRemove Like |:GDelete|, but keep the (now empty) buffer around.
*:GBrowse*
:GBrowse Open the current file, blob, tree, commit, or tag
in your browser at the upstream hosting provider.
Upstream providers can be added by installing an
appropriate Vim plugin. For example, GitHub can be
supported by installing rhubarb.vim, available at
<https://github.com/tpope/vim-rhubarb>.
:GBrowse {object} Like :GBrowse, but for a given |fugitive-object|.
:{range}GBrowse [args] Appends an anchor to the URL that emphasizes the
selected lines. This also forces the URL to include a
commit rather than a branch name so it remains valid
if the file changes. You can give a range of "0" to
force this behavior without including an anchor.
:GBrowse [...]@{remote} Force using the given remote rather than the remote
for the current branch. The remote is used to
determine which upstream repository to link to.
:GBrowse {url} Open an arbitrary URL in your browser.
:[range]GBrowse! [args] Like :GBrowse, but put the URL on the clipboard rather
than opening it.
MAPS *fugitive-maps*
These maps are available in both the |fugitive-summary| buffer and Fugitive
object buffers, although not all maps make sense in all buffers. Mappings
that operate on the file or hunk under the cursor are generally available in
visual mode to operate on multiple files or partial hunks.
*fugitive-staging-maps*
Staging/unstaging maps ~
*fugitive_s*
s Stage (add) the file or hunk under the cursor.
*fugitive_u*
u Unstage (reset) the file or hunk under the cursor.
*fugitive_-*
- Stage or unstage the file or hunk under the cursor.
*fugitive_U*
U Unstage everything.
*fugitive_X*
X Discard the change under the cursor. This uses
`checkout` or `clean` under the hood. A command is
echoed that shows how to undo the change. Consult
`:messages` to see it again. During a merge conflict,
use 2X to call `checkout --ours` or 3X to call
`checkout --theirs` .
*fugitive_=*
= Toggle an inline diff of the file under the cursor.
*fugitive_>*
> Insert an inline diff of the file under the cursor.
*fugitive_<*
< Remove the inline diff of the file under the cursor.
*fugitive_gI*
gI Open .git/info/exclude in a split and add the file
under the cursor. Use a count to open .gitignore.
*fugitive_I*
I Invoke |:Git| add --patch or reset --patch on the file
P under the cursor. On untracked files, this instead
calls |:Git| add --intent-to-add.
*fugitive_d*
Diff maps ~
*fugitive_dp*
dp Invoke |:Git| diff on the file under the cursor.
Deprecated in favor of inline diffs.
*fugitive_dd*
dd Perform a |:Gdiffsplit| on the file under the cursor.
*fugitive_dv*
dv Perform a |:Gvdiffsplit| on the file under the cursor.
*fugitive_ds* *fugitive_dh*
ds Perform a |:Ghdiffsplit| on the file under the cursor.
dh
*fugitive_dq*
dq Close all but one diff buffer, and |:diffoff|! the
last one.
*fugitive_d?*
d? Show this help.
*fugitive-navigation-maps*
Navigation maps ~
*fugitive_<CR>*
<CR> Open the file or |fugitive-object| under the cursor.
In a blob, this and similar maps jump to the patch
from the diff where this was added, or where it was
removed if a count was given. If the line is still in
the work tree version, passing a count takes you to
it.
*fugitive_o*
o Open the file or |fugitive-object| under the cursor in
a new split.
*fugitive_gO*
gO Open the file or |fugitive-object| under the cursor in
a new vertical split.
*fugitive_O*
O Open the file or |fugitive-object| under the cursor in
a new tab.
*fugitive_p*
p Open the file or |fugitive-object| under the cursor in
a preview window. In the status buffer, 1p is
required to bypass the legacy usage instructions.
*fugitive_~*
~ Open the current file in the [count]th first ancestor.
*fugitive_P*
P Open the current file in the [count]th parent.
*fugitive_C*
C Open the commit containing the current file.
*fugitive_CTRL-P* *fugitive_(*
( Jump to the previous file, hunk, or revision.
*fugitive_CTRL-N* *fugitive_)*
) Jump to the next file, hunk, or revision.
*fugitive_[c*
[c Jump to previous hunk, expanding inline diffs
automatically. (This shadows the Vim built-in |[c|
that provides a similar operation in |diff| mode.)
*fugitive_]c*
]c Jump to next hunk, expanding inline diffs
automatically. (This shadows the Vim built-in |]c|
that provides a similar operation in |diff| mode.)
*fugitive_[/* *fugitive_[m*
[/ Jump to previous file, collapsing inline diffs
[m automatically. (Mnemonic: "/" appears in filenames,
"m" appears in "filenames".)
*fugitive_]/* *fugitive_]m*
]/ Jump to next file, collapsing inline diffs
]m automatically. (Mnemonic: "/" appears in filenames,
"m" appears in "filenames".)
*fugitive_i*
i Jump to the next file or hunk, expanding inline diffs
automatically.
*fugitive_[[*
[[ Jump [count] sections backward.
*fugitive_]]*
]] Jump [count] sections forward.
*fugitive_[]*
[] Jump [count] section ends backward.
*fugitive_][*
][ Jump [count] section ends forward.
*fugitive_star*
* On the first column of a + or - diff line, search for
the corresponding - or + line. Otherwise, defer to
built-in |star|.
*fugitive_#*
# Same as "*", but search backward.
*fugitive_gu*
gu Jump to file [count] in the "Untracked" or "Unstaged"
section.
*fugitive_gU*
gU Jump to file [count] in the "Unstaged" section.
*fugitive_gs*
gs Jump to file [count] in the "Staged" section.
*fugitive_gp*
gp Jump to file [count] in the "Unpushed" section.
*fugitive_gP*
gP Jump to file [count] in the "Unpulled" section.
*fugitive_gr*
gr Jump to file [count] in the "Rebasing" section.
*fugitive_gi*
gi Open .git/info/exclude in a split. Use a count to
open .gitignore.

SPECIFYING OBJECTS *fugitive-object* *fugitive-revision*
Fugitive objects are either work tree files or Git revisions as defined in the
"SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in the git-rev-parse man page, with expansions
inspired by |cmdline-special| layered on top. For commands that accept an
optional object, the default is the file in the index for work tree files and
the work tree file for everything else. Example objects follow.
Object Meaning ~
@ The commit referenced by @ aka HEAD
master The commit referenced by master
master^ The parent of the commit referenced by master
master...other The merge base of master and other
master: The tree referenced by master
./master The file named master in the working directory
:(top)master The file named master in the work tree
Makefile The file named Makefile in the work tree
@^:Makefile The file named Makefile in the parent of HEAD
:Makefile The file named Makefile in the index (writable)
@~2:% The current file in the grandparent of HEAD
:% The current file in the index
:1:% The current file's common ancestor during a conflict
:2:# The alternate file in the target branch during a conflict
:3:#5 The file from buffer #5 in the merged branch during a conflict
! The commit owning the current file
!:Makefile The file named Makefile in the commit owning the current file
!3^2 The second parent of the commit owning buffer #3
.git/config The repo config file
: The |fugitive-summary| buffer
- A temp file containing the last |:Git| invocation's output
<cfile> The file or commit under the cursor
STATUSLINE *fugitive-statusline*
*FugitiveStatusline()* *fugitive#statusline()*
Add %{FugitiveStatusline()} to your statusline to get an indicator including
the current branch and the currently edited file's commit. If you don't have
a statusline, this one matches the default when 'ruler' is set:
>
set statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r%{FugitiveStatusline()}%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P
<
AUTOCOMMANDS *fugitive-autocommands*
A handful of |User| |autocommands| are provided to allow extending and
overriding Fugitive behaviors. Example usage:
>
autocmd User FugitiveBlob call s:BlobOverrides()
<
*User_FugitiveIndex*
FugitiveIndex After loading the |fugitive-summary| buffer.
*User_FugitiveTag*
FugitiveTag After loading a tag object.
*User_FugitiveCommit*
FugitiveCommit After loading a commit object.
*User_FugitiveTree*
FugitiveTree After loading a tree (directory) object.
*User_FugitiveBlob*
FugitiveBlob After loading a blob (file) object. This includes
both committed blobs which are read only, and staged
blobs which can be edited and written. Check
&modifiable to distinguish between the two.
*User_FugitiveChanged*
FugitiveChanged After any event which can potentially change the
repository, for example, any invocation of |:Git|.
Originally intended for expiring caches, but can have
other uses.
API *fugitive-api*
Officially supported functions are documented inline in plugin/fugitive.vim.
DEPRECATIONS *fugitive-deprecated*
The following commands are deprecated in favor of replacements that adhere to
a new naming scheme. Remember that |:Git| can be shortened to |:G|, so
replacements using it are just one space character longer than the legacy
version.
*:Gremove* Superseded by |:GRemove|.
*:Gdelete* Superseded by |:GDelete|.
*:Gmove* Superseded by |:GMove|.
*:Grename* Superseded by |:GRename|.
*:Gbrowse* Superseded by |:GBrowse|.
*:Gdiff* Superseded by |:Gdiffsplit|
*:Gsdiff* Superseded by |:Ghdiffsplit|
*:Gvdiff* Superseded by |:Gvdiffsplit| or |:vert| |:Gdiffsplit|.
*:Gblame* Superseded by |:Git_blame|.
*:Gcommit* Superseded by |:Git| commit.
*:Gmerge* Superseded by |:Git| merge and |:Git_mergetool|.
*:Gpull* Superseded by |:Git| pull.
*:Grebase* Superseded by |:Git| rebase.
*:Grevert* Superseded by |:Git| revert.
*:Gpush* Superseded by |:Git| push.
*:Gfetch* Superseded by |:Git| fetch.
*:Glog* Superseded by |:Gclog|.
*:Gstatus* Superseded by |:Git| (with no arguments).
*:Git!* Superseded by |:Git_--paginate|.
*:Gsplit!* Superseded by |:Git_--paginate|.
*:Gvsplit!* Superseded by :vert Git --paginate.
*:Gtabsplit!* Superseded by :tab Git --paginate.
*:Gpedit!* Superseded by :Git! --paginate.
*User_Fugitive*
Fugitive used to support `:autocmd User Fugitive` to run an autocommand after
loading any buffer belonging to a Git repository, but this is being phased
out. Instead, one can leverage regular autocommand events like |BufNewFile|
and |BufReadPost|, and check !empty(FugitiveGitDir()) to confirm Fugitive has
found a repository. See also |fugitive-autocommands| for other, more
selective events.
