GitHub - wcascades/ssgn: Super Simple Git Notes for Vim.

Super Simple Git Notes for Vim.

Why another notes plugin?

I was unable to find a basic notes plugin to fit my workflow. This simple plugin creates a .txt file for each git repo. The file is stored in a location seperate from your git repo. SSGN looks to see if your current file is a part of a git repo, if so, it will open or create a new .txt file for taking notes about the repo.

Aside from git repos, there is also a 'main' note that you can access at anytime via :SSGNEditMainNote.

Installation

1. add Plug 'wcascades/ssgn' to you vimrc.
2. run :PlugInstall in ex mode.

Recommnded use

add the following to your vimrc

map <leader>tn :SSGNEditGitNote <CR>
map <leader>tm :SSGNEditMainNote <CR>

Configuration

• Set a custom location for the main note

   let g:SSGNMainNoteLocation = "~/todo.txt" 
  

• Set a custom location for the notes directory

   let g:SSGNNoteDirectory = "~/Notes/" 
  

Comments

The default directory used for the notes is ".../plugged/ssgn/data". SSGN uses git remote get-url origin for naming the notes files. This makes it easy to identify the files while still maintaing a degree of uniqueness. This also lets us move, remove and clone repos, while keeping our notes. However, this means that git repos without a remote origin will not be able to maintain a SSGN git note.
