Git source for blink.cmp completion plugin. This makes it possible to query pull requests, issues, and users from GitHub or GitLab. This is very useful when you are writing a commit with nvim
.
Use #
to search for issues and pull requests (!
for gitlab
's merge requests):
Use :
to search for commits:
Use @
to search for users:
git
is required for default configurations.
gh
is required for the github
related features.
glab
is required for the gitlab
related features.
Run checkhealth blink-cmp-git
to check the requirements.
Add the plugin to your packer managers, and make sure it is loaded before blink.cmp
.

The configuration above will enable the blink-cmp-git
for blink.cmp
and show the items when the file's type is gitcommit
or markdown
. By default, blink-cmp-git
will pre-cache everything when it is created. To enable blink-cmp-git
all the time makes it possible to pre-cache when you enter insert mode or other mode you can input (blink.cmp
will create sources when you can input something).
Note
The default configuration will use curl
when gh
or glab
is not found.
For github
users, if you customize the get_token
, you should see those below to know which permissions are required:
For gitlab
users, see PAT to know how to get the token.
Note
For octo.nvim users, blink-cmp-git
supports it. By default, when you are in a octo
file, blink-cmp-git
will use the octo
's path to get the owner
and repo
to fetch the items.
There are many cases that will make the cache invalid. For example, if your cwd
is in a repository, later you switch your cwd
to another repository, the cache will use the first repository's result. To solve this problem, there is a command to reload the cache: BlinkCmpGitReloadCache
. This command will clear the cache.
blink-cmp-git
will create a auto command which uses should_reload_cache
to determine whether or not to reload cache when entering insert mode. The default should_reload_cache
will return true
when detecting another git
repository from octo
or cwd
.
Note
The command will be available only when the blink-cmp-git
source is created. Usually, the source will be created when it is enabled and you are in some mode you can input.
See default.lua.
How to customize the completion items?Because all features have same fields, I'll use commit
as an example.
The blink-cmp-git
will first run command from get_command
and get_command_args
. The standout of the command will be passed to separate_output
. So if you want to customize the completion items, you should be aware of what the output of your command looks like.
In most situations, you just need to customize get_label
, get_kind_name
, get_insert_text
and get_documentation
. Before you customize them, you should be aware of what the item looks like. See item to know what them look like. The commit item looks like this below:
commit 0216336d8ff00d7b8c9304b23bcca31cbfcdf2c8
Author: Kaiser-Yang <624626089@qq.com>
AuthorDate: Sun Jan 12 14:40:38 2025 +0800
Commit: Kaiser-Yang <624626089@qq.com>
CommitDate: Sun Jan 12 14:43:15 2025 +0800
Cache empty documentations
The default getters for commit
:
git_centers = { commit = { -- use the first 7 hash and the first line of the commit message as the label get_label = function(item) -- For `octo.nvim` users, the `item` is a table if type(item) == 'table' then return item.sha:sub(1, 7) .. ' ' .. item.commit.message:match('([^\n]*)') end return item:match('commit ([^\n]*)'):sub(1, 7) .. ' ' .. item:match('\n\n%s*([^\n]*)') end, -- use 'Commit' as the kind name get_kind_name = function(_) return 'Commit' end, -- use the first 7 hash as the insert text get_insert_text = function(item) -- For `octo.nvim` users, the `item` is a table if type(item) == 'table' then return item.sha:sub(1, 7) end return item:match('commit ([^\n]*)'):sub(1, 7) end, -- use the whole commit message as the documentation get_documentation = function(item) -- For `octo.nvim` users, the `item` is a table if type(item) == 'table' then return 'commit ' .. item.sha .. '\n' .. 'Author: ' .. item.commit.author.name .. ' <' .. item.commit.author.email .. '>\n' .. 'AuthorDate: ' .. item.commit.author.date .. '\n' .. 'Commit: ' .. item.commit.committer.name .. ' <' .. item.commit.committer.email .. '>\n' .. 'CommitDate: ' .. item.commit.committer.date .. '\n' .. item.commit.message end return item -- or you can use `blink-cmp-git.DocumentationCommand` to get the documentation -- return { -- -- the command to get the documentation -- get_command = '', -- get_command_args = {} -- -- how to resolve the output -- resolve_documentation = function(output) return output end -- } -- or return nil to disable the documentation -- return nil end, } }
Note
kind_name
is used by those default options:
kind_icons
Therefore, if you customize the kind_name
, you should customize them too.
From the version v0.2.0
, there is a configuration on_error
for all the GCSCompletionOptions
. on_error
is a function like func(return_value: number, standard_error: string): boolean
.
When blink-cmp-git
find a non-zero return value or a non-empty standard error, it will call on_error
with the return value and the standard error. If on_error
returns false
, the error will be ignored, which means blink-cmp-git
will go on to the next step. When on_error
returns true
, blink-cmp-git
will not go on to the next step. The default on_error
is to show the error message and return true
.
For example, if you want to disable the error message for commit
, you just need to use those below:
commit = { on_error = function(_, _) return true end }How to add trailing white spaces?
For example, those below will add a trailing white space for commit
:
commit = { -- or you can update it to other contents such as '\n' insert_text_trailing = ' ' }
NOTE: If you enable pre-insert, switch between items with spaces may make the completion menu disappear. This may be related with treesitter
.
Suppose the item in your completion list is like this below:
PR #1 Add a new feature
Highlight Group Name Description BlinkCmpGitKind<kind_name>
For
BlinkCmpGitKindIcon<kind_name>
For PR
BlinkCmpGitLabel<kind_name>Id
For #1
BlinkCmpGitLabel<kind_name>Rest
For Add a new feature
Note
The Id
part is got by seperating the label by whitespaces, if you customize the get_label
, you may need to customize the label_highlight
too. See default.lua to learn how to customize it.
The default <kind_name>
are Commit
, Issue
, PR
, MR
, and Mention
.
Besides, you can also customize different highlight for open, closed, locked and merged pull requests or issues.
By default, blink-cmp-git
will only fetch the open pull requests or issues. So you should customize the api
parameters to fetch all states. See How to customize the APIs?.
Firstly, you should update the get_kind_name
to customize the kind_name
:
git_centers = { github = { pull_request = { get_kind_name = function(item) -- openPR, closedPR, mergedPR, draftPR, lockedPR return item.locked and 'lockedPR' or item.draft and 'draftPR' or item.merged_at and 'mergedPR' or item.state .. 'PR' end, }, issue = { get_kind_name = function(item) -- openIssue, reopenedIssue, completedIssue -- not_plannedIssue, lockedIssue, duplicateIssue return item.locked and 'lockedIssue' or (item.state_reason or item.state) .. 'Issue' end, }, }, gitlab = { pull_request = { get_kind_name = function(item) -- openedPR, closedPR, mergedPR, draftPR, lockedPR return item.discussion_locked and 'lockedPR' or item.draft and 'draftPR' or item.state .. 'PR' end, }, issue = { get_kind_name = function(item) -- openedIssue, closedIssue return item.discussion_locked and 'lockedIssue' or item.state .. 'Issue' end, }, } }
Then, you can update the icons for the kind_name
:
kind_icons = { openPR = '', openedPR = '', closedPR = '', mergedPR = '', draftPR = '', lockedPR = '', openIssue = '', openedIssue = '', reopenedIssue = '', completedIssue = '', closedIssue = '', not_plannedIssue = '', duplicateIssue = '', lockedIssue = '', }
Here is an example for github
-like highlight:
local blink_cmp_kind_name_highlight = { Commit = { default = false, fg = '#a6e3a1' }, Mention = { default = false, fg = '#a6e3a1' }, openPR = { default = false, fg = '#a6e3a1' }, openedPR = { default = false, fg = '#a6e3a1' }, closedPR = { default = false, fg = '#f38ba8' }, mergedPR = { default = false, fg = '#cba6f7' }, draftPR = { default = false, fg = '#9399b2' }, lockedPR = { default = false, fg = '#f5c2e7' }, openIssue = { default = false, fg = '#a6e3a1' }, openedIssue = { default = false, fg = '#a6e3a1' }, reopenedIssue = { default = false, fg = '#a6e3a1' }, completedIssue = { default = false, fg = '#cba6f7' }, closedIssue = { default = false, fg = '#cba6f7' }, not_plannedIssue = { default = false, fg = '#9399b2' }, duplicateIssue = { default = false, fg = '#9399b2' }, lockedIssue = { default = false, fg = '#f5c2e7' }, } for kind_name, hl in pairs(blink_cmp_kind_name_highlight) do vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'BlinkCmpGitKind' .. kind_name, hl) vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'BlinkCmpGitKindIcon' .. kind_name, hl) vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'BlinkCmpGitLabel' .. kind_name .. 'Id', hl) end
You may also need to update the configure_score_offset
, otherwise the default may not work as you expected. There is an example:
local function pr_or_issue_configure_score_offset(items) -- Bonus to make sure items sorted as below: local keys = { -- place `kind_name` here { 'openIssue', 'openedIssue', 'reopenedIssue' }, { 'openPR', 'openedPR' }, { 'lockedIssue', 'lockedPR' }, { 'completedIssue' }, { 'draftPR' }, { 'mergedPR' }, { 'closedPR', 'closedIssue', 'not_plannedIssue', 'duplicateIssue' }, } local bonus = 999999 local bonus_score = {} for i = 1, #keys do for _, key in ipairs(keys[i]) do bonus_score[key] = bonus * (#keys - i) end end for i = 1, #items do local bonus_key = items[i].kind_name if bonus_score[bonus_key] then items[i].score_offset = bonus_score[bonus_key] end -- sort by number when having the same bonus score local number = items[i].label:match('[#!](%d+)') if number then if items[i].score_offset == nil then items[i].score_offset = 0 end items[i].score_offset = items[i].score_offset + tonumber(number) end end end git_centers = { github = { pull_request = { configure_score_offset = pr_or_issue_configure_score_offset, }, issue = { configure_score_offset = pr_or_issue_configure_score_offset, }, }, gitlab = { pull_request = { configure_score_offset = pr_or_issue_configure_score_offset, }, issue = { configure_score_offset = pr_or_issue_configure_score_offset, }, } }How to customize for enterprise
github
or gitlab
?
Firstly, you should update the enable
for each feature, the default enable
will enable the plugin when github.com
found for github
repository and gitlab.com
found for gitlab
repository in your remote URLs. I'll give you an example for github
's issue:
git_centers = { github = { issue = { enable = function() -- Get the default enable result local enable = require('blink-cmp-git.default.github') .issue .enable() local utils = require('blink-cmp-git.utils') -- Place your enterprise's domain here -- When using `find` without parameters, escape special characters using '%'. -- Escape characters: ( ) . % + - * ? [ ^ $ -- `find(pattern, start_index, plain)` -- `start_index = 1` starts searching from the first character. -- `plain = true` ensures an exact match instead of a pattern match. return enable or utils.get_repo_remote_url():find('enterprise.example.com', 1, true) end, } } }
Then, you should see how to customize the APIs to customize the request domain.
How to customize the APIs?By default, blink-cmp-git
will request those endpoints below:
github.issue
repos/OWNER/REPO/issues
github.pull_request
repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls
github.mention
repos/OWNER/REPO/contributors
github.mention.get_documentation
users/USERNAME
gitlab.issue
projects/PROJECT_ID/issues
gitlab.pull_request
projects/PROJECT_ID/merge_requests
gitlab.mention
projects/PROJECT_ID/users
gitlab.mention.get_documentation
users/USERID
You can see github rest API and gitlab rest API to know what the available parameters are.
I'll give you an example for github.issue
to customize per_page
and sort
:
git_centers = { github = { issue = { get_command_args = function(command, token) -- Get the default args local args = require('blink-cmp-git.default.github') .issue .get_command_args(command, token) local utils = require('blink-cmp-git.utils') -- The last element is the API endpoint, customize it if command == 'curl' then -- You can update the `github.com` to your enterprise's domain args[#args] = 'https://api.github.com/repos/' .. -- NOTE: -- for `gitlab` users, you should use `utils.get_repo_owner_and_repo(true)` utils.get_repo_owner_and_repo() .. '/issues?state=all&per_page=100&sort=updated' else args[#args] = 'repos/' .. -- NOTE: -- for `gitlab` users, you should use `utils.get_repo_owner_and_repo(true)` utils.get_repo_owner_and_repo() .. '/issues?state=all&per_page=100&sort=updated' -- use those below to customize the enterprise's domain -- table.insert(args, '--hostname') -- table.insert(args, 'github.com') end return args end, } } }How to auto reload cache when opening a file from a different repository?
By default, blink-cmp-git
will reload the cache when the result of get_cwd
is changed to another repository.
The default get_cwd
is vim.fn.getcwd
. If you want to reload the cache when opening a file from a different repository, you just need to update the get_cwd
function. For example:
get_cwd = function() -- return the directory of the current file return vim.fn.expand('%:p:h') endHow to add new git platforms?
I've written a post to show you how to add new git platforms. You can see Contributing to blink-cmp-git.
blink-cmp-git
is async. This means that completion won't block other operations. How long it will take to show results depends on the network speed and the response time of the git center. But, don't worry, the items will be cached when you first trigger the completion by inputting @
, #
, or :
(You can DIY the triggers). Furthermore, when the source is created, it will pre-cache all the items. For the documentation of the mention
feature, it will be cached when you hover on one item.
The release versions are something like major.minor.patch
. When one of these numbers is increased:
patch
: bugs are fixed or docs are added. This will not break the compatibility.minor
: compatible features are added. This may cause some configurations deprecated
, but not break the compatibility.major
: incompatible features are added. All the deprecated
configurations will be removed. This will break the compatibility.Nice and fast completion plugin: blink.cmp.
Inspired by cmp-git.
