Creating a minimal config specifically for git commits has made running git commit much more pleasant. It starts up Much faster, and has all of the parts of my config that I use while making a git commit. The one thing that I often use is autocomplete, for things coming from elsewhere in the tmux session. For this cmpe-tmux specifically is super helpful.

The other thing that is engrained into my muscle memory is jj for escape. For that I went agead and added my settings and keymap with no noticable performance hit.

Here is the config that has taken

~/.config/nvim/init-git.vim


source ~/.config/nvim/settings.vim
source ~/.config/nvim/keymap.vim
source ~/.config/nvim/git-plugins.vim
lua require'waylonwalker.cmp'

~/.config/nvim/git-plugins.vim


call plug#begin('~/.local/share/nvim/plugged')

" cmp
Plug 'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-buffer'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-path'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-calc'
Plug 'andersevenrud/compe-tmux', { 'branch': 'cmp' }


call plug#end()

~/.gitconfig


[core]
    editor = nvim -u ~/.config/nvim/init-git.vim
