# pointer.nvim
Share file references instantly
## Why
Pointer allows rapid communication within the team around a codebase by allowing
team members to share points on the codepath (file + linenumber) information.
## How it works
Pointer looks up your project directory structure and tries its best to
build an url so you can get the current line as a shareable url:
```python
...
10 def myfn(arg): # running here
11 pass
...
```
Will yield `https://github.com/owner/project/master/blob/path/to/file.py#L10`
Pointer tries to match data from its configuration, the file and its path:
`/home/user/code/owner/project/path/to/file`
It will use cwd to determine project root, so: `tcd /home/user/code/owner/project`
By convention, pointer.nvim assumes that projects follow the `owener/project` directory structure.
You can override that behavior with custom functions.
## How to set up
Create a `pointer.lua` file for configuring your pointer in your config dir
```lua
local pointer = require("pointer")
-- This configures github for all projects
pointer.config{
url = pointer.url.github,
}
-- I'll explain mapping later. leave this to bind to default keybindings
pointer.map{}
```
and in your `init.vim`:
```vim
luafile $HOME/.config/nvim/pointer.lua
```
## A slightly more complex configuration
```lua
local pointer = require("pointer")
-- This configures github for all projects
pointer.config{
url = pointer.url.github,
myteam = {
url = pointer.url.opengrok("https://opengrok.myteam.com/xref/")
},
mycustomproj = {
url = pointer.urls.gitlab
}
}
-- I'll explain mapping later. leave this to bind to default keybindings
pointer.map{}
```
it will try to match first based on the project, than on the owner, then it'll use the general rule:
`/home/user/code/myteam/mycustomproj/... -> gitlab`
`/home/user/code/myteam/second/... -> opengrok`
`/home/user/code/vigemus/pointer.nvim/... -> github`
## Mappings
If you use default mappings, it'll map:
```
yu -> As url
ypp -> As a relative path from project owner (project/path/to/file.py)
yrp -> As a relative path from your project (path/to/file.py)
yRp -> As an absolute path (/home/user/code/owner/path/to/project.py)
```
