Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This looks like a great candidate to package for luarocks, so with rocks.nvim, the installation could be simplified to :Rocks install fugit2.

Describe the solution you'd like

It'd be more than happy to open a PR if you're open to it.

Additional context

It might be possible to package libgit2 for luarocks, and link to it. I've successfully done so for most of the tree-sitter parsers.

Hi @mrcjkb , I am very happy to push this one to luarocks.

You can guide me how to do it. Any pull requests are also welcome. Will take a look at rocks.nvim after I fixed other bugs.

Thank you!

Awesome 🚀

We have a tutorial with a recommended approach that automates everything with conventional commits. But if your plugin is still unstable, you might want to use 0-ver.

While it is also possible to not use tags and push scm rockspecs, I wouldn't recommend it, because it makes it difficult for users to roll back in case something breaks between updates.

Because of the libgit2 dependency, this repo might need a custom rockspec template that searches for the relevant libraries or headers - which I'd be happy to implement. Or, if it makes sense, I could try to package libgit2 as a lua rock (maybe including lua bindings?), so that users wouldn't have to install it manually.

@mrcjkb , libgit2 lua binding is implemented by me via luajit ffi. I don't use https://github.com/libgit2/luagit2 because it is so outdated.

Do we need to make the lua binding codes a separate repo?

@mrcjkb, package is available here https://luarocks.org/modules/superbo/fugit2.nvim 🚀
