2025-08-11git-jump: make `diff` work with filenames containing spacesGreg Hurrell1-1/+1
In diff.c, we output a trailing "\t" at the end of any filename that contains a space: case DIFF_SYMBOL_FILEPAIR_PLUS: meta = diff_get_color_opt(o, DIFF_METAINFO); reset = diff_get_color_opt(o, DIFF_RESET); fprintf(o->file, "%s%s+++ %s%s%s\n", diff_line_prefix(o), meta, line, reset, strchr(line, ' ') ? "\t" : ""); break; That is, for a file "foo.txt", `git diff --no-prefix` will emit: +++ foo.txt but for "foo bar.txt" it will emit: +++ foo bar.txt\t This in turn leads `git-jump` to produce a quickfix format like this: foo bar.txt\t:1:1:contents Because no "foo bar.txt\t" file actually exists on disk, opening it in Vim will just land the user in an empty buffer. This commit takes the simple approach of unconditionally stripping any trailing tab. Consider the following three examples: 1. For file "foo", Git will emit "foo". 2. For file "foo bar", Git will emit "foo bar\t". 3. For file "foo\t", Git will emit "\"foo\t\"". 4. For file "foo bar\t", Git will emit "\"foo bar\t\"". Before this commit, `git-jump` correctly handled only case "1". After this commit, `git-jump` correctly handles cases "1" and "2". In reality, these are the only cases people are going to run into with any regularity, and the other two are rare edge cases, which probably aren't worth the effort to support unless somebody actually complains about them.

2024-09-16git-jump: ignore deleted files in diff modeJeff King1-1/+1
If you do something like this: rm file_a echo change >file_b git jump diff then we'll generate two quickfix entries for the diff, one for each file. But the one for the deleted file is rather pointless. There's no content to show since the file is gone, and in fact we open the editor with the path /dev/null! In vim, at least, the result is a confusing annoyance: the editor opens with an empty buffer, and you have to skip past it to the useful quickfix entry (after scratching your head and figuring out that no, nothing is broken). Let's skip such entries entirely. There's nothing useful to show, since the point is that the file has been deleted. It is possible that you could be doing a diff whose post-image is not the working tree, and then you'd perhaps be jumping to the deleted content (or at least something that was in the same spot). But I don't think it's worth worrying about that case. For one thing, using git-jump for such diffs is a bad idea in general, as it's going to sometimes move you to the wrong spot. And two, a deletion is always going to have one hunk starting at line 1, which is not that interesting to jump to in the first place.

2024-09-16git-jump: always specify column 1 for diff entriesJeff King1-1/+1
When we generate a quickfix entry for a diff hunk, we provide just the filename and line number along with the content, like: file:1: contents of the line This can be a problem if the line itself looks like a quickfix header. For example (and this is adapted from a real-world case that bit me): echo 'static_lease 10:11:12:13:14:15:16 10.0.0.1' >file git add file echo change >file produces: file:1: static_lease 10:11:12:13:14:15:16 10.0.0.1 which is ambiguous. It could be line 1 of "file", or line 11 of the file "file:1: static_lease 10", and so on. In the case of vim's default config, it seems to prefer the latter (you can configure "errorformat" with a variety of patterns, but out of the box it matches some common ones). One easy way to fix this is to provide a column number, like: file:1:1: static_lease 10:11:12:13:14:15:16 10.0.0.1 which causes vim to prefer line 1 of "file" again (due to the preference order of the various patterns in the default errorformat). There are other options. For example, at least in my version of vim, wrapping the file in quotation marks like: "file":1: static_lease 10:11:12:13:14:15:16 10.0.0.1 also works. That perhaps would the right thing even if you had the silly file name "file:1:1: foo 10". But it's not clear what would happen if you had a filename with quotes in it. This feature is inherently scraping text, and there's bound to be some ambiguities. I don't think it's worth worrying too much about unlikely filenames, as its the file content that is more likely to introduce unexpected characters. So let's just go with the extra ":1" column specifier. We know this is supported everywhere, as git-jump's "grep" mode already uses it (and thus doesn't exhibit the same problem). The "merge" mode is mostly immune to this, as it only matches "<<<<<<<" conflict marker lines. It's possible of course to have a marker that says "foo 10:11" later in the line, but in practice these will only have branches and perhaps file names, so it's probably not worth worrying about (and fixing it would involve passing --column to the system grep, which may not be portable). I also gave some thought as to whether we could put something more useful than "1" in the column field for diffs. In theory we could find the first changed character of the line, but this is tricky in practice. You'd have to correlate before/after lines of the hunk to decide what changed. So: -this is a foo line +this is a bar line is easy (column 11). But: -this is a foo line +another line +this is a bar line is harder. This commit certainly doesn't preclude trying to do something more clever later, but it's a much deeper rabbit hole than just fixing the syntactic ambiguity.

2022-11-27git-jump: move valid-mode check earlierJeff King1-1/+2
We check if the "mode" argument supplied by the user is valid by seeing if we have a mode_$mode function defined. But we don't do that until after creating the tempfile. This is wasteful (we create a tempfile but never use it), and makes it harder to add new options (the recent stdout option exits before creating the tempfile, so it misses the check and "git jump --stdout foo" will produce "git-jump: 92: mode_foo: not found" rather than the regular usage message).

Take advantage of 'git-grep(1)''s new option, '--column' in order to teach Peff's 'git-jump' script how to jump to the correct column for any given match. 'git-grep(1)''s output is in the correct format for Vim's jump list, so no additional cleanup is necessary.

Let's make it clear how patches should flow into contrib/git-jump. The normal Git maintainer does not necessarily care about things in contrib/, and authors of individual components should be the ones giving the final review/ack for a patch.

2016-07-22contrib/git-jump: add whitespace-checking modeJeff King2-1/+9
If you have whitespace errors in lines you've introduced, it can be convenient to be able to jump directly to them for fixing. You can't quite use "git jump diff" for this, because though it passes arbitrary options to "git diff", it expects to see an actual unified diff in the output. Whereas "git diff --check" actually produces lines that look like compiler quickfix lines already, meaning we just need to run it and feed the output directly to the editor.

2016-07-22contrib/git-jump: fix greedy regex when matching hunksJeff King1-1/+1
The hunk-header regex looks for "\+\d+" to find the post-image line numbers, but it skips the pre-image line numbers with a simple ".*". That means we may greedily eat the post-image numbers and match a "\+\d" further on, in the funcname text. For example, commit 6b9c38e has this hunk header: diff --git a/t/t0006-date.sh b/t/t0006-date.sh [...] @@ -50,8 +50,8 @@ check_show iso-local "$TIME" '2016-06-15 14:13:20 +0000' If you run: git checkout 6b9c38e git jump diff HEAD^ t/ it will erroneously match "+0000" as the starting line number and jump there, rather than line 50. We can fix it by just making the "skip" regex non-greedy, taking the first "+" we see, which should be the post-image line information.
