vim-git-log is a Vim plugin that helps browse your git log.  This plugin requires [Fugitive](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive). See the git repo here: https://github.com/kablamo/vim-git-log GitLog ------------- To open a new buffer which displays a list of the changes in your git repo:     :GitLog This plugin is basically a wrapper around `git log` so nearly any option or argument that you can use with `git log` can be used here.  The exceptions are --pretty and options that affect --pretty.  Here are some more examples: View changes from the 'lib' directory instead of the repository root:     :GitLog lib View changes from a specifi author/committer:     :GitLog --author Batman View changes where the commit message matches a (PCRE) regular expression     :GitLog --grep 'dinosaurs' View changes for a date range     :GitLog --since yesterday     :GitLog --since '1 month 1 week 1 day 1 hour 1 second'     :GitLog --since 2012-12-31     :GitLog --until 2012-12-31 23:30:60     :GitLog <since>..<until> How to use the log browser -------------------------- Running any of the above commands will open a window titled 'GitLog' that looks like this and allows you to browse the git log:     Eric Johnson 4 weeks ago 5ef0fb2     Added daysPerYear.     lib/Networth/Controller/Calculator.pm     lib/Networth/Out/RealCost.pm     root/html/calculator/realCost.tt     Eric Johnson 5 weeks ago 9595fa0     fix css margin class.     root/css/networth.css     root/css/style.less     root/css/style.less.old     root/html/calculator/realCost.tt     root/html/fi.tt     Eric Johnson 6 weeks ago ecf43db     Css tweaks.     root/html/calculator/realCost.tt Here are some commands you can use in the browser:    <cr>  View the side by side diff of any file by putting your cursor on that          line and typing `d` (for diff).    d     This has the same behavior as `<cr>`.    n     Move your cursor to the first filename in the next commit.    N     Move your cursor to the first filename in the previous commit. To quickly exit out of the diff and return to the 'GitLog' window, type `q`. Ribbon ------------- **First** mark your place with     :RibbonSave This will place a tag named __ribbon at origin/master.  Basically you are bookmarking our current spot with a `ribbon`. **Next**, use Fugitive to pull down the latest changes made by your fellow conspirators from the remote repository.       :Git pull To review those changes use the following command:     :Ribbon This will open a window titled 'Ribbon' that looks like this:     Eric Johnson 6 weeks ago ecf43db     Css tweaks.     root/html/calculator/realCost.tt     Eric Johnson 5 weeks ago 9595fa0     fix css margin class.     root/css/networth.css     root/css/style.less     root/css/style.less.old     root/html/calculator/realCost.tt     root/html/fi.tt     Eric Johnson 4 weeks ago 5ef0fb2     Added daysPerYear.     lib/Networth/Controller/Calculator.pm     lib/Networth/Out/RealCost.pm     root/html/calculator/realCost.tt See the section on *How to use the GitLog browser* for a complete list of all the commands available to you. **Finally**, after you have reviewed all the changes, mark your place again with:     :RibbonSave Bonus tips ---------- The default colors used in vimdiff look like they were created by crazy clowns. You might like my colorscheme instead:     ⚡ mkdir -p ~/.vim/colors/     ⚡ wget https://github.com/kablamo/dotfiles/blob/master/links/.vim/colors/iijo.vim -O ~/tmp/iijo.vim     ⚡ echo "colorscheme iijo" >> ~/.vimrc How to use vimdiff: - To switch windows type `ctl-w l` and `ctl-w h`.  For more help see `:help window-move-cursor`. - To open and close folds type `zo` and `zc`.  For more help see `:help fold-commands`. See also -------- This script was inspired by http://gitready.com/advanced/2011/10/21/ribbon-and-catchup-reading-new-commits.html I also wrote [git-ribbon](https://github.com/kablamo/git-ribbon), a little Perl script that does pretty much the same thing but from the commandline.
