Split hunks

[SevereOverfl0w]

It would be convenient to have a command for splitting hunks into smaller hunks. Much like the interactive patch command does with s.

I've had a few cases where lines changed close to each other, but were fully independent.

Hi,

not sure to understand. It seems you are asking for one of the main vimagit feature.

You can stage part of hunk, either:

• by visually selecting lines with v, then staging selection with S
• by marking lines with M, then staging selection with S
• by staging line by line, with L

See https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit#visual-selection

You can even edit a line before staging, allowing you stage part of line, see https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit#inline-modifications

I possibly just ran into an edge case. I solved my problem by using a visual selection at the time though.

The feature I was really asking for was the ability for vimagit to break down the hunk for me, because there's reassurance in seeing the hunk first I think, I'm also quite lazy.

You can also force git to shrink/enlarge the diff context, using the keys + and -. Then, you will get smaller/larger hunks.

But you can't say to vimagit (which means saying to git in the end): split the display of this hunk at this point.

[jreybert]

OK, I now understand what you meant (I did not know the s command in git add patch interactive mode.

Well, maybe the shrink/enlarge mapping could update only the current hunk.

Is this feature a real need for you?

The +/- was something I tried, but didn't have the desired effect. Admittedly, it didn't seem to do anything, so I might have been doing something wrong.

Strong need? I'm not sure. I've only applied vimagit a handful of times, but it's come up on about 40% of my attempts at using it.
