Generate a link to the exact commit, file and line.

gitlink-vim

Generate a link to the exact commit, file and line.

When collaborating with your team, you may often want to reference a line of code. Copy-and-pasting the line just doesn't work when context matters, plus you know the formating isn't going to be right, anyways!

Example

Known Issues

As written, it only works for Github and Gitlab. Bitbucket is not supported.

Installation

Using Vundle

Add the following line to your .vimrc file.

Bundle 'https://github.com/mazubieta/gitlink-vim.git'

Optional

You can add the following lines to your .vimrc file.

• If you want to execute via command:

  command GitLink :echo gitlink#GitLink()
  

• If you want to execute via leader command:

  nmap <leader>gl :echo gitlink#GitLink()<CR>
  vmap <leader>gl :echo gitlink#GitLink(1)<CR>
  

• If you want to copy to the clipboard automatically:

  function! CopyGitLink(...) range
    redir @+
    silent echo gitlink#GitLink(get(a:, 1, 0))
    redir END
  endfunction
  nmap <leader>gl :call CopyGitLink()<CR>
  vmap <leader>gl :call CopyGitLink(1)<CR>
  

Usage

• If you just autoload the script

  :echo gitlink#GitLink()
  

• If you added the optional .vimrc lines

  :GitLink
  

  Or...

  \gl
