An option is to build your own using execute
. I'm also using merge-base in a similar way:
:execute 'Git diff ' . system('git merge-base --fork-point upstream/main')[0:-2]
The commit hash coming from merge-base has a trailing newline, which the [0:-2]
removes.
Hello @cjrh ,
it works! Thanks for the hint. :+1:
I could not find the meaning of a single dot .
between diff '
and system
in the vim help. Could you please explain/ hint me to the meaning of the dot?
Thanks!
It's just concatenation, no big mystery 😄

Fugitive does provide an API for that system()
call that's a bit more robust:
:execute 'Git diff ' . FugitiveExecute(['merge-base', '--fork-point', 'upstream/main']).stdout[0]
Wonderful! Thanks for the comment! I would like to close this ticket as solved.
@nirmalnirav You can close it yourself 😄
Respected Mr. Pope, please accept my gratitude and then greetings. I am humbled that I have a chance to write you.

If possible, please break the feature request in to smaller tasks along with a short pointer to the code section and assign them to me. I would gladly work on them and hence collaborate with you. I have never done any serious vim scripting and therefore would be a good learning experience.
Thank you for your time!
