Tim Pope 305337a9c1 Begin phasing out :Git --paginate special case
This was a mistake.  I took --paginate to be the opposite of --no-pager,
but it forces $PAGER over $GIT_PAGER and pager configuration.  This
defeats the purpose of using it as way to trick :Git into running a
regular command with :terminal.

# fugitive.vim
I'm not going to lie to you; fugitive.vim may very well be the best
Git wrapper of all time. Check out these features:
Bring up an enhanced version of `git status` with `:G` (also known as
`:Gstatus`). Press `g?` to bring up a list of maps for numerous operations
including diffing, staging, committing, rebasing, and stashing.
View any blob, tree, commit, or tag in the repository with `:Gedit` (and
`:Gsplit`, `:Gvsplit`, `:Gtabedit`, ...). Edit a file in the index and
write to it to stage the changes. Use `:Gdiffsplit` to bring up the staged
version of the file side by side with the working tree version and use
Vim's diff handling capabilities to stage a subset of the file's
changes.
Commit, merge, and rebase with `:Gcommit`, `:Gmerge`, and `:Grebase`, using
the current Vim instance to edit commit messages and the rebase todo list.
Use `:Gpush`, `:Gfetch`, and `:Gpull` to send and retrieve upstream changes.
`:Gblame` brings up an interactive vertical split with `git blame`
output. Press enter on a line to edit the commit where the line
changed, or `o` to open it in a split. When you're done, use `:Gedit`
in the historic buffer to go back to the work tree version.
`:Gmove` does a `git mv` on a file and simultaneously renames the
buffer. `:Gdelete` does a `git rm` on a file and simultaneously deletes
the buffer.
Use `:Ggrep` to search the work tree (or any arbitrary commit) with
`git grep`, skipping over that which is not tracked in the repository.
`:Gclog` and `:Gllog` load all previous commits into the quickfix or location
list. Give them a range (e.g., using visual mode and `:'<,'>Gclog`) to
iterate over every change to that portion of the current file.
`:Git mergetool` loads conflicts into the quickfix list. `:Git difftool` does
the same for any arbitrary set of changes.
`:Gread` is a variant of `git checkout -- filename` that operates on the
buffer rather than the filename. This means you can use `u` to undo it
and you never get any warnings about the file changing outside Vim.
`:Gwrite` writes to both the work tree and index versions of a file,
making it like `git add` when called from a work tree file and like
`git checkout` when called from the index or a blob in history.
Use `:Gbrowse` to open the current file on the web front-end of your favorite
hosting provider, with optional line range (try it in visual mode). Plugins
are available for popular providers such as [GitHub][rhubarb.vim],
[GitLab][fugitive-gitlab.vim], [Bitbucket][fubitive.vim],
[Gitee][fugitive-gitee.vim], [Pagure][pagure], and
[Phabricator][vim-phabricator].

Add `%{FugitiveStatusline()}` to `'statusline'` to get an indicator
with the current branch in your statusline.
Last but not least, there's `:Git` for running any arbitrary command.

## Installation
Install using your favorite package manager, or use Vim's built-in package support:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
cd ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
git clone https://tpope.io/vim/fugitive.git
vim -u NONE -c "helptags fugitive/doc" -c q
## FAQ
> Why can't I enter my password when I `:Gpush`?
It is highly recommended to use SSH keys or [credentials caching][] to avoid
entering your password on every upstream interaction. If this isn't an
option, the official solution is to use the `core.askPass` Git option to
request the password via a GUI. Fugitive will configure this for you
automatically if you have `ssh-askpass` or `git-gui` installed; otherwise it's
your responsibility to set this up.
If you absolutely must type in your password by hand, sidestep Fugitive and
use `:terminal git push`.
