# rhubarb.vim
If [fugitive.vim][] is the Git, rhubarb.vim is the Hub. Or at least it
could be. One day. Right now it's pretty stupid. I almost named it
chubby.vim, but it just didn't feel right.
So far there's only one feature: In Git commit messages, GitHub issues
can be omni-completed (`<C-X><C-O>`, see `:help compl-omni`). This
makes inserting those `Closes #123` remarks slightly easier than copying
and pasting from the browser.
Maybe I'll extract `:Gbrowse` out of fugitive.vim and put it here
instead. Or maybe I'll add some cool Gist stuff. You never know with
rhubarb.vim.

## Installation
In addition to [fugitive.vim][], [Curl](http://curl.haxx.se/) is
required (included with OS X). There are 5 ways you can tell
rhubarb.vim your GitHub credentials:
1. In a netrc:
echo 'machine api.github.com login <user> password <password>'>>~/.netrc
2. In Git:
git config --global github.user <user>
git config --global github.password <password>
3. In your shell:
export GITHUB_USER=<user>
export GITHUB_PASSWORD=<password>
4. In Vim:
let g:github_user = '<user>'
let g:github_password = '<password>'
5. With an API token:
let g:RHUBARB_TOKEN = '<token>'
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 git://github.com/tpope/vim-rhubarb.git
Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with
`:help rhubarb`.
