On: Magit, the magical Git interface (2017)

Is there something like Magit for NeoVim? Preferably in Lua.

[FrontAid → xvilka]

neogit is "magit for neovim". It is written in Lua. Did you already know the answer to your question? ;)

Similar Git tooling can be found in https://github.com/frontaid/git-cli-tools

There's also the criminally-underrated fugitive.vim. Not lua though.

Yes, this is what I currently use, in fact.

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

It does not really seem to be maintained anymore. Is there any downside because of that?

[jboynyc → FrontAid]

Looks to me like it had commits in June and August of this year. Or do you wonder whether they'll add features like pushing from within vimagit?

[FrontAid → jboynyc]

I did see the commits, but the last release was almost three years ago. That is not necessarily bad. I was just wondering whether it still works well or there are any quirks.

[xvilka → FrontAid]

Many Vim plugins abandoned the release model since most Vim and NeoVim package managers focus on fetching latest git HEAD for every installed plugin.

[jboynyc → xvilka]

Yes, good explanation. Case in point: Neogit has never tagged a release: https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit/tags

I agree, vimagit is great. I made a few minor changes for my preferences.
