Open remote git repositories in the comfort of Neovim.

A plugin to open remote Git repositories inside Neovim by managing ephemeral
shallow clones automatically. It aims to provide a similar experience to
`GitHub.dev` but directly within Neovim.

## :art: Features
- Open remote Git repositories inside Neovim at branch, tag or commit.
- Supports most URLs from GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and Codeberg.
- Seamless integration with your workflow (e.g. LSP and tree-sitter).
- Ephemeral repositories - cleanup when Neovim exits.
- Telescope extension to revisit previously opened repositories.

## :hammer: Installation
Use your favorite plugin manager:

### Lazy

```lua
{
"moyiz/git-dev.nvim",
event = "VeryLazy",
opts = {},
}
```

Lazier (documentation will not be available until first use):
```lua
{
"moyiz/git-dev.nvim",
lazy = true,
cmd = { "GitDevOpen", "GitDevToggleUI", "GitDevRecents", "GitDevCleanAll" },
opts = {},
}
```

See [Options](#gear-options).

## :blue_book: Usage
### :open_file_folder: Open
API: `require("git-dev").open(repo, ref, opts)`

Command: `GitDevOpen`

Open the repository in Neovim.

#### Parameters
- `repo` - `string` - A partial or full Git URI. Some non-git URIs are also
supported, see [Supported URLS](#supported-urls) for examples.
- `ref` - `table` - Target reference to checkout (default: `nil`). Empty `ref`
will checkout the default branch.
Examples: `{ branch = "..." }|{ tag = "..." }|{ commit = "..." }`.
If more than one is specified, the priority is: `commit` > `tag` > `branch`.
- `opts` - `table` - Override plugin configuration for this call (default:
`nil`). See [Options](#gear-options) below.

#### Examples
```lua
-- :GitDevOpen moyiz/git-dev.nvim
require("git-dev").open("moyiz/git-dev.nvim")

-- :GitDevOpen derailed/k9s '{ tag = "v0.32.4" }'
require("git-dev").open("derailed/k9s", { tag = "v0.32.4" })

-- :GitDevOpen echasnovski/mini.nvim '{ branch = "stable" }' '{ ephemeral = false }'
require("git-dev").open("echasnovski/mini.nvim", { branch = "stable "}, { ephemeral = false })

-- :GitDevOpen https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/bash.git '{}' '{ read_only = false }'
require("git-dev").open("https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/bash.git", {}, { read_only = false })
```

### :broom: Clean All
API: `require("git-dev").clean_all()`

Command: `GitDevCleanAll`

Clean all cached local repositories.

**Caution**: It will delete the repositories directory itself. If you changed
the default value, make sure that the new directory is being used only for this
purpose.

By either using the lua function `require("git-dev").clean_all()` or the command
`GitDevCleanAll`.

### :eyeglasses: Parse
API: `require("git-dev").parse(repo, opts)`

Parses a Git URL.

#### Parameters
- `repo` - `string` - A partial or full Git URI.
- `opts` - `table` - Override plugin configuration for this call (default:
`nil`). See [Options](#gear-options) below.

See [URL Parsing](#spider_web-url-parsing).

### :goggles: Toggle UI
API: `require("git-dev").toggle_ui(win_config)`

Command: `GitDevToggleUI`

Manually toggle the window showing `git-dev` output. Accepts optional table to
override default window configuration.

#### Parameters
- `win_config` - `vim.api.keyset.win_config` - Override window configuration
for this call.

### :telescope: Telescope

#### :bone: Recent Repositories
Command: `GitDevRecents`

Revisit previously opened repositories via a telescope extension.

Opened repositories are tracked in a simple single file KV store. Its only
purpose (currently) is to be queried by the telescope extension for a
convenient way to re-open previously opened repositories.
See `history` in [Options](#gear-options) below.

## :gear: Options
```lua

}
```

## :spider_web: URL Parsing
It is reasonable to assume that browsing arbitrary Git repositories will
probably begin in a web browser. The main purpose of this feature is to allow
quicker transition from the currently viewed branch / tag / commit / file to
Neovim.

This plugin supports multiple types and flavors of URLs. It will accept most
GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and Codeberg URLs, and will try to extract the actual
git repository URL, selected branch / tag / commit and selected file.

If such extraction was successful, `opener` will be provided with
`selected_path`, which is a relative path of a file in the repository. Its main
use-case is to auto-open currently viewed file.

Nested branches (contain slashes) are supported.

Notice that passing explicit `ref` to `GitDevOpen` will take precedence on
parsed fields.

### Supported URLs
- GitHub
- `https://github.com/`
- `https://github.com/.git`
- `https://github.com//tree/`
- `https://github.com//tree/`
- `https://github.com//blob/`
- `https://github.com//blob//`
- `https://github.com//blob/`
- `https://github.com//blob//`
- GitLab
- `https://gitlab.com/`
- `https://gitlab.com/.git`
- `https://gitlab.com//-/tree/`
- `https://gitlab.com//-/tree/`
- `https://gitlab.com//-/blob/`
- `https://gitlab.com//-/blob//`
- `https://gitlab.com//-/blob/`
- `https://gitlab.com//-/blob//`
- Gitea
- `https://gitea.com/`
- `https://gitea.com/.git`
- `https://gitea.com//(src|raw)/tag/`
- `https://gitea.com//(src|raw)/tag//`

### Examples
Open `README.md` in main branch:
```lua
require("git-dev").open("https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/README.md")
```
Parser output:
```lua
{
branch = "main",
repo_url = "https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim.git",
selected_path = "README.md",
type = "http"
}
```

Open `cmd/scan/main.go` in `acook/generic_docker_source_entry` branch:
```lua
require("git-dev").open("https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/code-creation/repository-x-ray/-/blob/acook/generic_docker_source_entry/cmd/scan/main.go")
```
Parser output:
```lua
{
branch = "acook/generic_docker_source_entry",
repo_url = "https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/code-creation/repository-x-ray.git",
selected_path = "cmd/scan/main.go",
type = "http"
}
```

See `lua/git-dev/parser_spec.lua` for more examples.

(Or: `GitDevOpen https://github.com/moyiz/git-dev/blob/master/lua/git-dev/parser_spec.lua`)

### Limitations
Notice this feature is quite experimental. If you encounter any issues or have
any questions or requests, feel free to reach out.

## :notebook: Recipes
### :grey_question: Interactive Opening
The sky is the limit. I have settled for this key binding at the moment (set via
`lazy.nvim`):
```lua
{
"moyiz/git-dev.nvim",
...
keys = {
{
"go",
function()
local repo = vim.fn.input "Repository name / URI: "
if repo ~= "" then
require("git-dev").open(repo)
end
end,
desc = "[O]pen a remote git repository",
}
}
...
}
```

### :evergreen_tree: nvim-tree
To open with [nvim-tree](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua):

```lua
opts = {
opener = function(dir, _, selected_path)
-- vim.cmd("Oil " .. vim.fn.fnameescape(dir))
vim.cmd("NvimTreeOpen " .. vim.fn.fnameescape(dir))
if selected_path then
vim.cmd("edit " .. selected_path)
end
end
}
```

### :evergreen_tree: neo-tree
```lua
opts = {
opener = function(dir, _, selected_path)
vim.cmd("Neotree " .. dir)
if selected_path then
vim.cmd("edit " .. selected_path)
end
end
}
```

### :bookmark_tabs: New tab
Recommended. Repositories will be opened in a new tab and its CWD will be set.

```lua
opts = {
cd_type = "tab",
opener = function(dir, _, selected_path)
vim.cmd "tabnew"
vim.cmd("Neotree " .. dir)
if selected_path then
vim.cmd("edit " .. selected_path)
end
end
}
```

### :fox_face: Web browser
It does not make much sense on its own, but a showcase for getting both the
repository URL and the local directory.

```lua
opts = {
cd_type = "none",
opener = function(_, repo_url)
-- vim.cmd("!librewolf " .. repo_url)
vim.cmd("!firefox " .. repo_url)
end
}
```

### :pencil: Customizing Default URL
By default, this plugin accepts partial repository URI (e.g. `org/repo`) by
applying it onto a format string. This behavior can be customized by setting
`git.base_uri_format` to change the URI, or `git.default_org` to prepend a
default organization name if the given repository name does not contain `/`.

```lua
-- Change default URI
opts = {
git = {
base_uri_format = "https://git.home.arpa/%s.git",
}
}

-- Open my own repositories by name with SSH.
-- E.g. "git-dev.nvim" rather than "moyiz/git-dev.nvim"
opts = {
git = {
default_org = "moyiz",
base_uri_format = "[email protected]:%s.git",
}
}

-- Enforce only full URIs (do not accept partial names).
opts = {
git = {
base_uri_format = "%s"
}
}
```

### :house_with_garden: Private Repositories - Parse HTTP as SSH
All repositories in my home Gitea service are private. Cloning such repositories
using HTTP URLs will require inserting user and password. Since my SSH keys are
already set, a custom parser can workaround it by leveraging the `domain`
parameter of the parser function.
```lua
opts = {
extra_domain_to_parser = {
["git.home.arpa"] = function(parser, text, _)
text = text:gsub("https://([^/]+)/(.*)$", "ssh://git@%1:2222/%2")
return parser:parse_gitea_like_url(text, "ssh://[email protected]:2222")
end,
},
}
```
Notice that my Gitea service listens on port 2222 for SSH. This custom parser
tricks `parse_gitea_like_url` by converting a HTTP URL to SSH like URL (which
is not a valid git URI). I.e.
```
https://git.home.arpa/homelab/k8s/src/commit/ef3fec4973042f0e0357a136d927fe2839350170/apps/gitea/kustomization.yaml
```
To:
```
ssh://[email protected]:2222/homelab/k8s/src/commit/ef3fec4973042f0e0357a136d927fe2839350170/apps/gitea/kustomization.yaml
```

Then, the parser trims the "domain" and proceeds as usual. Output:
```lua
{
commit = "ef3fec4973042f0e0357a136d927fe2839350170",
repo_url = "ssh://[email protected]:2222/homelab/k8s.git",
selected_path = "apps/gitea/kustomization.yaml",
type = "http"
}
```
