FAQ

Got error message like Error detected while processing function 177[2]..178[22]..181[7]..144[9]..142[36]..238[4]..NERDTreeGitStatusRefreshListener[2]..NERDTreeGitStatusRefresh: line 6: E484: Can't open file /tmp/vZEZ6gM/1 while nerdtree opening in fish, how to resolve this problem?

This was because that vim couldn't execute system function in fish. Add set shell=sh in your vimrc.

This issue has been fixed.

How to config custom symbols?

Use this variable to change symbols.

let g:NERDTreeGitStatusIndicatorMapCustom = {
                \ 'Modified'  :'✹',
                \ 'Staged'    :'✚',
                \ 'Untracked' :'✭',
                \ 'Renamed'   :'➜',
                \ 'Unmerged'  :'═',
                \ 'Deleted'   :'✖',
                \ 'Dirty'     :'✗',
                \ 'Ignored'   :'☒',
                \ 'Clean'     :'✔︎',
                \ 'Unknown'   :'?',
                \ }

There is a predefined map used nerdfonts, to enable it

let g:NERDTreeGitStatusUseNerdFonts = 1 " you should install nerdfonts by yourself. default: 0

How to show ignored status?

let g:NERDTreeGitStatusShowIgnored = 1 " a heavy feature may cost much more time. default: 0

How to cooperate with vim-devicons

Plug 'preservim/nerdtree' |
            \ Plug 'Xuyuanp/nerdtree-git-plugin' |
            \ Plug 'ryanoasis/vim-devicons'

Make sure they are in the right order.

How to indicate every single untracked file under an untracked dir?

let g:NERDTreeGitStatusUntrackedFilesMode = 'all' " a heavy feature too. default: normal

How to set git executable file path?

let g:NERDTreeGitStatusGitBinPath = '/your/file/path' " default: git (auto find in path)

How to show Clean indicator?

let g:NERDTreeGitStatusShowClean = 1 " default: 0

How to hide the boring brackets([ ])?

let g:NERDTreeGitStatusConcealBrackets = 1 " default: 0

NOTICE: DO NOT enable this feature if you have also installed vim-devicons.

nerdtree-git-plugin's Issues

The plugin doesn't work for me

I followed the installation instruction ( I use Vundle as my vim plugin-repositories management tool), and after installing the NERDTree and nerdtree-git-plugin, when I use :NERDTreeToggle to show the tree, the NERDTree functions well, but I cannot see the git icon on my local git repository. Do I miss some instruction in my .vimrc file ?

The related pieces of my .vimrc is as following:

call vundle#begin()
Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Plugin 'bling/vim-airline'
Plugin 'scrooloose/nerdtree'
Plugin 'Xuyuanp/nerdtree-git-plugin'
Plugin 'lsdr/monokai'
call vundle#end()

Other vcs support

What about adding another vcs? Is it possible to add mercurial? hg status output is similar to git status -s.

Does not work with git worktrees

Since a git worktree does not have a .git subdirectory, but instead .git is a text file stating where the .git directory actually is located, this plug-in doesn't work for worktrees.

It would be very awesome for it to support worktrees as well, and I would be happy to help with development in my spare time if you can point me to an area of the code that deals with that.

Doesn't work if vim's current working path is not under Nerdtree root path

Hello,

After applying commit 18d52b5, this plugin doesn't work if vim's current working path is not under Nerdtree root path which is under a git repo.

Try running command "git -c color.status=false status -s /path/under/a/git/repo" outside the repo, git gives "fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"

Indicator for ignored paths

An indicator for ignored paths would be nice - given #15 lands this could be used to show the ignored paths in recessed colors.

Can I configrate the position of symbols ?

the symbols ahead of filename/foldername makes me confuse the constructor.

I think at the end will be better.

How to set NERDTree

How I set NERDTree to start at the same time of vim from .vimrc?

And what is yout color scheme?

Filemode changes cause incorrect GIT indicators

Awesome vim plugin, thanks very much.

I've updated the file mode on a entire project folder and then I used the git config tool to ignore file mode changes.

git config core.fileMode false

Now when I run git status it shows what I expected as a result....

But when I open up vim, it shows the '*' next to all of my files...

I don't think this is what I should be seeing. Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong, otherwise maybe its a bug.

Prevents Syntastic from working when g:NERDTreeUpdateOnWrite isn't set to 0

My vimrc while debugging:

execute pathogen#infect()
call pathogen#helptags()

Repro: https://streamable.com/jlxk

After the first save, you can see the Syntastic window pop up as expected, but when I save again with NERDTree open, nothing happens. A workaround to this is to set g:NERDTreeUpdateOnWrite to 0 but it's obviously far from ideal.

VimL syntax incompatibility?

When i'm attempting to :NERDTree immediately after :w this error occurs:

automatic refresh to nerdtree

If there is any way to refresh nerdtree automatically
for example after saving the file or when toggling nerdtree

I'm using neovim

pathogen上不好用？

试了几种方法，没用起来。

Incompatibility with python-mode

Hey,
It seems that there is some incompatibility between your plugin and python-mode.
Please see python-mode/python-mode#487.

If I disable your plugin, I do not trigger the problem anymore...
Do you have any idea ?

Please write something in the readme about the keys to use while in nerd tree to stage/unstage/etc.

Not working for CentOS 6.7

I am on CentOS 6.7. Installed vim7.4, nerdtree but this plugin doesn't work.

1. do we support CentOS 6.7?
2. is there any log file available to see the plugin error? Or is there any command to view the plugin settings?

Thanks,
Jeffery

ISSUE

Unable to show indicators. I have tried moving items in the .vimrc around as well as opening files in GVim, vi and vim. I have also tried having NERDTree open when opening a file and not having it open. In a nutshell, I'm not able to get it to work. At this point, there isn't anything that I can think of to try differently. There may be something simple that I'm not doing but I can't figure it out.

test suite

Maybe you would be interested in a test suite for this plugin

https://travis-ci.org/albfan/nerdtree-git-plugin/builds/89796111

Just let me know

Works only with sudo

I install this plugin by "junegunn/vim-plug". Then I run vim in my project folder:

There is no changes. But when I copy .vimrc to /root folder (and install plugins there) after executing "sudo vim" plugin works:

My system is debian 8 x64. Folder .vim/ is readable and writable by user. You can see my .vimrc here: https://github.com/inebritov/dotfiles/blob/master/.vimrc

Not working with new vim 8 version

Plugin breaks vim completely. I have blank screen and error

Color highlighting instead of icons

Can this be implemented?

Not working for subdirectories

I thinks thats more an feature request than a bug. Git status it is only run in the root directory, but in my projects i have multiple repos in subdirectories and changes there are therefor not highlighted.

Doesn't work with fish shell

Hello,

When using the fish shell, opening vim gives the following:

NERDTree: Please wait, caching a large dir ...
Error detected while processing function 206[2]..207[27]..210[7]..173[9]..171[32]..284[4]..NERDTreeGitStatusRefreshListener[2]..NERDTreeGitStatusRefresh:

Surrounding [] not shown in tmux

I don't know whether your [ and ] are special UTF-8 characters or whatever, but these characters are not printed in tmux for me. Would be nice to be fixed.

Also, if I have

let g:NERDTreeIndicatorMapCustom = {
    \ "Modified"  : "mod",
"...
}

thinks like some/path/some/bla/mod.rs are highlighted, which is clearly not what we want here, right? Would be nice if you'd fix these!

Anyways: Great plugin, just started using nerdtree and already in love with this plugin!

how does it work,is there any necessary config in vimrc？

Conflicted with syntastic in MacVim.

After installed this plugin, syntastic no longer auto check after I executed :w, but manual call :SyntasticCheck still works fine.

I tested with the same .vimrc in terminal vim and this problem disappeared, so it only happen in MacVim.

Has there more details I should provide?

vim become very slow

I think it's very useful,
but when I use it, vim will become very slow,
I use vim --startuptime to test the startup time and found that the BufEnter autocommands time will become very large.

Usage documentation

Hi,

I've installed nerdtree + nerdtree-git-plugin with Vundle.
When I open nerdtree in a git directory and make changes in a file, nothing happend.
Where do I go from here ?

P.S: What are your other plugins in the README.md gif ? powerline + some kind of git commit plugin ?

Wrong indicator for the directory that contains the opened file

When I open a file(inside a git repository), I can see that directory that contains the file is always shown as Dirty. Rest all indicators are correct except the directory that contains the file.

Not works when CD

Hi. This plugin works only when I add
cd directrory_with_git
to my vimrc file.
But I work not only with 1 directory and when I change directory in NERDtree to another project with git (press cd and then C to enter), then there are no indicators near files and directories.

Filter untouched files

I want to know your opinion about this feature, since you travel the way from fork NERDTree to become a plugin

I have proposed this to NERDTree

preservim/nerdtree#441

I think it is a missing feature to your plugin and really useful

Vim . causes quite a few errors - OSX Terminal

As long as I'm just opening a file "vim index.html" or even just vim, everything works great. Once I try to open a directory "vim .", a number of errors appear.

Easy workaround is just don't open with vim . I'll have to look at getting used to that.

E716:Key not present in Dictionary: CreateTabTree

I installed the plugin through vunble but I got this error message with :NERDTree
E716:Key not present in Dictionary: CreateTabTree

Any suggestions?

Git status markers still showing even though switched to a new, clean branch

I installed the plugin, made some changes to a branch, and the markers showed up perfectly - nice!

Howver, when I switched to a new branch, I still see the markers, Am I doing something wrong?

Breaks if you open a directory with `vim .`

Steps to reproduce,

1. install nerdtree and nredtree-git
2. cd to project directory
3. type vim .

1st Nerdtree window (where you would expect to see the directory listing as usual) is empty. It appears in the main window though (as usual without nerdtree-git)

Output:
"." is a directory

line 16:
E121: Undefined variable: b:NERDTreeCachedGitFileStatus

Undefined variable: g:NERDTreePathNotifier

Trying to run nerdtree-git-plugin on the following vim version (Ubuntu 14.04):

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Jan  2 2014 19:39:59)
Included patches: 1-52

My config is now nearly empty, I only load pathogen to load nerdtree (the only installed vim-plugin at this point):

execute pathogen#infect()

The error I get is the following, and it doesn't happen if I don't have git_status.vim in the nerdtree_plugin directory:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>23_SetupListeners:
line    1:
E121: Undefined variable: g:NERDTreePathNotifier
line    2:

Thanks for taking the time!

git mv support

Feature request for NERDTree move to use git mv instead of reporting that the original file was deleted and a new one added.

处理 function vundle#config#bundle[2]..<SNR>4_check_bundle_name

I am using vim8.0 on windows 10, this plugin can work good on my vim, but when I open my gvim this statement "处理 function vundle#config#bundle[2]..4_check_bundle_name" will happend everytime, I don't know why.

I wan't know whitch branch I am on, can this plugin show?

Error when open nerdtree

When I open nerdtree with this plugin it`s return errors, shown below

Error detected while processing function
177[2]..178[22]..181[7]..144[9]..142[36]..238[4]..NERDTreeGitStatusRefreshListener[2]..NERDTreeGitStatusRefresh:
line 6:
E484: Can't open file /tmp/vZEZ6gM/1

I install this plugins using pathogen and last fresh version from github.
Arch linux x64

I found problem.

I use fish instead of bash and when I add

if &shell =~# 'fish$'
    set shell=sh
endif

into my .vimrc, everything works fine

git line status

I don't have line status, need more plugins?

Add "--ignore-submodules" to the git-status query

I have a few submodules in my .vimrc directory that make my git-status query quite slow so I aliased them to include --ignore-submodules.

The nerdtree-git-plugin queries the git directory without the ignore parameter, which makes my NERDTree extremely unresponsive. Doing this to line 76 fixed it for me:

let l:statusesStr = system('cd ' . l:root . ' && git -c color.status=false status -s --ignore-submodules')

Is this safe to include into the repo? :) The plugin only uses git-status to query the information about the current directory anyways, doesn't it?

.vimrc customizable indicators?

My font of choice doesn't have all the Unicode indicators this plugin uses by default. I tried adding let g:NERDTreeIndicatorMap.Untracked = "*" to the bottom of my .vimrc, but then I get E121: Undefined variable: g:NERDTreeIndicatorMap.

How does this plugin play with fugitive?

I noticed that after I add file via status message + '-' I need to write the file to see status updated in nerdtree. Is that a design or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
