How do you execute "git add ..." from Neo-tree filesystem window view?

[stephane-klein]

In the bottom window in this screenshot you can see that /scripts/init.sh isn't tracked by git:

I would like to execute git add scripts/init.sh via Neo-tree window.

When I press ? in Neo-tree window, I see that:

I see nothing to perform a git add... command.

From this documentation, I tried to add this lines in my Neo-tree setup config:

                window = {
                    mappings = {
                        ["<space>"] = {
                            "toggle_node",
                            nowait = false, -- disable `nowait` if you have existing combos starting with this char that you want to use
                        }--,
                        ["A"]  = "git_add_all",
                        ["gu"] = "git_unstage_file",
                        ["ga"] = "git_add_file",
                        ["gr"] = "git_revert_file",
                        ["gc"] = "git_commit",
                        ["gp"] = "git_push",
                        ["gg"] = "git_commit_and_push"
                    }
                },

            vim.cmd([[ let g:neo_tree_remove_legacy_commands = 1 ]])
            require("neo-tree").setup({
                close_if_last_window = false, -- Close Neo-tree if it is the last window left in the tab
                open_files_in_last_window = false,
                popup_border_style = "rounded",
                enable_git_status = true,
                enable_diagnostics = true,
                window = {
                    mappings = {
                        ["<space>"] = {
                            "toggle_node",
                            nowait = false, -- disable `nowait` if you have existing combos starting with this char that you want to use
                        }--,
                        ["A"]  = "git_add_all",
                        ["gu"] = "git_unstage_file",
                        ["ga"] = "git_add_file",
                        ["gr"] = "git_revert_file",
                        ["gc"] = "git_commit",
                        ["gp"] = "git_push",
                        ["gg"] = "git_commit_and_push"
                    }
                },
                filesystem = {
                    hijack_netrw_behavior = "open_current"
                }
            })
        end
    }

But that doesn't work. I have an error when I press ? in Neo-tree window.

Question: how do you execute "git add ..." from Neo-tree filesystem window view?

Best regards,

As I responded on reddit:

There is no built-in command to do that right now, but it is a fairly trivial command that you can create by mapping to a function. I will also consider adding the git commands to the "common" commands that are shared by all sources.

I just looked at the code and there is no reason why the git commands can't be moved from the "git_status" source to "common" where they will be accessible from the "filesystem" source. I'll make an issue from this discussion and put it on the todo list for the next release.

This has just been released. I did not add the mappings to other sources by default, but if you add them manually like you did in your example above then it will work now.

@cseickel thanks, it works perfectly 👍
