Open Neogit of the current buffer

[mangelozzi]

The below snippers moves the cursor to the current buffer when neogit is opened, it also expands the file. If you dont like just remove the vim.api.nvim_feedkeys(keys,'i',false) -- Is insert mode!! line below.

Adding this here because I could not find something similar in the Q&A so I made this. Could probably be done much easier if this feature was built in, but here's something that works:

    local function open_neogit_on_current_buffer()
        local function cursor_to_line(pattern)
            local lines = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_lines(0, 0, -1, false)
            local esccaped_pattern = string.gsub(pattern, "[%p]", "%%%1")
            for i, line in ipairs(lines) do
                if line:match(esccaped_pattern) then
                    vim.api.nvim_win_set_cursor(0, {i, 0}) -- If pattern is found, move the cursor to the matching line
                    return
                end
            end
        end

        local function open_callback(augroup_id, file_rel)
            vim.api.nvim_del_augroup_by_id(augroup_id)
            -- Send a tab to open the file
            local keys = vim.api.nvim_replace_termcodes('<tab>',true,false,true)
            vim.api.nvim_feedkeys(keys,'i',false) -- Is insert mode!!
            cursor_to_line(file_rel)
        end

        local filename = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(0)
        if (filename ~= "") then
            local file_rel = vim.fn.fnamemodify(vim.fn.expand('%'), ':.')
            -- local escaped_file = vim.fn.escape(file_rel, '\\/.*$^~[]')
            local MyNeogitGroup = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("MyNeogitGroup", {clear = true})
            vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd(
                "User",
                {
                    desc = "A temp autocmd to open neogit on current buffer",
                    pattern = "NeogitStatusRefreshed",
                    group = MyNeogitGroup,
                    callback = function()
                        open_callback(MyNeogitGroup, file_rel)
                    end
                }
            )
        end
        require('neogit').open({kind = 'tab'})
    end

    -- Use <leader>g as a prefix for bunch of other git related commands, this keep fast
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>i", function() open_neogit_on_current_buffer() end, {noremap = true, desc = "Neogit buffer"})
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>I", function() require('neogit').open({ kind = 'tab' }) end, {noremap = true, desc = "Neogit"})
