Dired Git Log

Display git information inside a dired buffer:

This started as a fork of Clemera’s https://github.com/clemera/dired-git-log, because I needed a version without overlayes, that works with my dired-auto-readme and mode dired-hacks. It is now totally reworked to use text properties as well as how it works internally. I would also like to turn it into async (non-blocking) version, but it is not implemented yet.

Installation

This is not yet in either Elpa nor Melpa, so currently you will have to install it manually.

Manual

For manual installation, clone the repository and call:

(package-install-file "/path/to/dired-git-log.el")

Config

Bind the minor mode command in dired

(with-eval-after-load 'dired
  (define-key dired-mode-map ")" 'dired-git-log-mode))

Don’t hide normal Dired file info

By default, toggling dired-git-log-mode also toggles the built-in dired-hide-details-mode, which hides file details such as ownership, permissions and size. This behaviour can be disabled by overriding dgi-auto-hide-details-p:

(setq dired-git-log-auto-hide-details-p nil)

Enable automatically in every Dired buffer (if in Git repository)

To enable dired-git-info-mode whenever you navigate to a Git repository, use the following:

(add-hook 'dired-after-readin-hook 'dired-git-log-auto-enable)
