vimagit

Not OP, but… They're not in the same league, although this isn't a knock on fugitive as they have different goals. If you don't want to try magit¹ itself, then vimagit² is a reasonable approximation within vim. It gives you the same kind of workflow as magit, but doesn't quite feel as polished IME. ¹ You don't need to be an emacs user to use magit, you can treat magit as a standalone application. ² https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit

I've used vimagit for a long time (it's not in Lua, but it's pretty awesome): https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit

Next to other posters, there's also LazyGit (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit), and vimagit (https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit). So yea, people are building it out of emacs!

Haven't used Magit w/ emacs but have been using a library inspired by in for the last year or so: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit not sure how it compares feature wise but I've found it extremely helpful.

Emacs is too laggy for me as my main editor. But Magit is so good that I start emacs up just to use it as my Git interface if I can't get by just with the CLI. Sadly there is no Vim plugin that is competitive. There is vimagit [1], but it's not on par. [1] https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit

There is also Vimagit, which is inspired by Magit: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit

I've been using a Vim clone of Magit for a while with good success: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit Not being an eMacs user, I'm not familiar with the feature differences, but the workflow of stage/commit is worth it alone.

Did you try vimagit? If so, what's wrong/missing with it? https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit

There are magit clones for other editors, though less featureful: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit https://github.com/diiq/atomatigit

Seeing a former coworker use Magit in Emacs is what got me to look into the Vim version: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit From what I gather it's nowhere near as feature-complete, but it lets me create commits with immense ease and precision.

(I assume you're talking about this one: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit) Yeah it's probably the best way to interactively stage only changes you want to commit (`add --patch`)

You may want to give a try to vimagit so. https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit/ As soon I started to work with git, I installed fugitive. My learning curve of fugitive has been slow, and I have never be able to stage efficiently with it. And then, a colleague showed me magit: I waited for a year that something similar comes to vim, trying to push this idea to fugitive https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive/issues/569 , without success. Finally, some first experiments showed that partial hunk stage was feasible, and I created vimagit. As you will see, it is far from whole magit features. For the moment, it "only" focuses on stage/unstage and commit feature (which is the main use case to me). The current workflow is quite robust: you can easily navigate through all the diffs to review them, stage by file/hunk/line/part of line, write the comm
