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 is required (included with OS X). If you haven't already, you'll need to set up your GitHub API token.

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing pathogen.vim, 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.
