Gitui in your Neovim as terminal window.

Original aspeddro/gitui.nvim plugin had .open() method which would open gitui interface as terminal window, but would not provide a simple way to toggle it's visibility and switch between nvim and gitui back & forth.

This implementation deprecates .open() method and replaces it with .toggle() which hides current gitui window and reuses created buffer between invocations, instead of re-creating it every time from scratch (this let's preserve gitui interface state between toggles) and .terminate() method which would gracefully remove reusable buffer and window.

Because of it, all previosly selected items in different tabs, collapsed/expanded folders, searches, etc. keep their state.

• Neovim >= 0.5.0
• Gitui

Using packer.nvim:

use 'dev99problems/gitui.nvim'

require("gitui").setup()

Following are the default config for the setup(). If you want to override, just modify the option that you want then it will be merged with the default config, like

require('gitui').setup({
 window = {
 options = {
 width = 95,
 height = 100,
 border = 'rounded'
 }
 },
})

Default config

{
 -- Command Options
 command = {
 -- Enable :Gitui command
 -- @type: bool
 enable = true,
 },
 -- Path to binary
 -- @type: string
 binary = "gitui",
 -- Argumens to gitui
 -- @type: table of string
 args = {},
 -- WIndow Options
 window = {
 options = {
 -- Width window in %
 -- @type: number
 width = 90,
 -- Height window in %
 -- @type: number
 height = 80,
 -- Border Style
 -- Enum: "none", "single", "rounded", "solid" or "shadow"
 -- @type: string
 border = "rounded",
 },
 },
}

require("gitui").toggle() -- toggles gitui window
-- and
require("gitui").terminate() -- removes cached buffer & window objects, usually should not be used manually

If you're using .lua files for nvim configurations, the possible hotkeys can be set like

-- ## gitui
keymap("n", "gui", ":lua require('gitui').toggle()<CR>", opts)
keymap("t", "gui", "<C-\\><C-n>:lua require('gitui').toggle()<CR>", opts)

Important this plugin does not set any hotkeys by default, so you can use provided example or set your own instead of gui, but please keep in mind setting hotkey for at least normal and terminal modes to be able to show & hide gitui properly.
