Fugitive.vim: a Git wrapper so awesome, it should be illegal
- a2tech 17y agoA description in the headline of what the Git wrapper does, or a link to a blog entry or some other description of the wrapper would be helpful. As it is, currently the website has no information other than the raw source-and a google search reveals no additional information.
- bradlane 17y agoThe homepage link on the github page is basically a README with intro, instructions for use, etc... http://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive/blob/master/doc/fugitive.txt http://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive/blob/master/doc/fugitiv...
- icefox 17y agoToo bad they don't just make it the top level README file which github would display
- anovaskulk 17y agoYeah, I've had just about enough of these projects self described as the most awesome thing since sliced bread. How about we act like adults.
- StrawberryFrog 17y agoDocumentation so ... non-existent.
- kelnos 17y agohttp://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive/blob/master/doc/fugitive.txt http://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive/blob/master/doc/fugitiv... Would've been better had the submitter actually linked to the readme...
- mhansen 17y agoDidn't you see the 'doc' directory?
- StrawberryFrog 17y agoWhich completely fails to answer the basics: What is fugitive, what problem does it solve, and what do I need in order to run it. I'm getting the impression that it's a plug-in for the vim text editor, but considering that I had to dig to get that basic lead information, that's really bad.
- wsprague 17y agoThe lack of an explicit point makes me wish I could downvote this.
- markjuh 17y agoThanks for the link- will try it out!
- wrinklz 17y agoIf this were posted to Reddit, then a quick explanation of what git and vim are, and why a wrapper is so useful would make sense. But this is Hacker News for heaven's sake.
