# rhubarb.vim If [fugitive.vim][] is the Git, rhubarb.vim is the Hub. Here's the full list of features: * Enables `:Gbrowse` from fugitive.vim to open GitHub URLs. (`:Gbrowse` currently has native support for this, but it is slated to be removed.) * In commit messages, GitHub issues, issue URLs, and collaborators can be omni-completed (``, see `:help compl-omni`). This makes inserting those `Closes #123` remarks slightly easier than copying and pasting from the browser. [fugitive.vim]: https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive ## Installation If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing [pathogen.vim](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), and then simply copy and paste: cd ~/.vim/bundle git clone https://github.com/tpope/vim-rhubarb.git vim -u NONE -c "helptags vim-rhubarb/doc" -c q In addition to [fugitive.vim][], [Curl](http://curl.haxx.se/) is required (included with OS X). Provide your GitHub credentials by adding them to your netrc: echo 'machine api.github.com login password ' >> ~/.netrc If you'd rather not store your password in plain text, you can [generate a personal access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new) and use that instead: echo 'machine api.github.com login password x-oauth-basic' \ >> ~/.netrc If you are using GitHub Enterprise, repeat those steps for each domain (omit the `api.` portion). You'll also need to tell Rhubarb the root URLs: let g:github_enterprise_urls = ['https://example.com'] ## FAQ > How do I turn off that preview window that shows the issue body? set completeopt-=preview ## Self-Promotion Like rhubarb.vim?
