This week I learned
Excerpts from my development journal
Week 25 published
One could learn something new about the vast
vim-fugitive every week
and still not run out of novelties for a long time. This week I took some
time to learn about the capabilities of the
:Gstatus command.
Until now I’ve only used it informatively, but from now on I will try to
incorporate
cvc (invokes
git commit --verbose1), cva (same, but
with --amend), and
ce (amend without
editing the commit message).
D shows the diff
for the selected file, and once the diff is open
zR expands all
folds (vim folding being one of the areas that I also need to explore at
some point).
q closes the
status window – this one is not new, but a lot of the time I still type
:q out of habit.
As is always the case with vim-fugitive, there are many more things to discover, but I want to internalize these mappings first.

Verbose is my preferred way of writing commits; fugitive’s non-verbose alternative is
