Problem: the full upstream PR and issue triage was removed from the
README during the repository modernization, leaving no user-facing
record of what the fork addresses.
Solution: restore the triage tables in a dedicated doc/upstream.md and
link to it from the top of the README. Keeps the README clean while
giving the full picture a permanent home.
Problem: the fork shared the same name as upstream, making it difficult
to distinguish and discover independently.
Solution: rename the repository to canola.nvim — a type of oil, making
the lineage obvious while establishing a distinct identity. Update all
references in the README, rockspec, and issue templates.
* feat(icons): add nonicons.nvim icon provider support
Problem: oil.nvim only recognizes mini.icons and nvim-web-devicons as
icon providers. nonicons.nvim works when paired with devicons (via its
apply() monkey-patch), but has no standalone support.
Solution: add a nonicons.nvim fallback in get_icon_provider(), placed
after devicons so the patched devicons path is preferred when both are
installed. The standalone path handles directories via
nonicons.get('file-directory'), files via filetype/extension lookup with
a generic file icon fallback.
* fix(doc): improve readme phrasing
* build: clean up gitignore and remove empty gitmodules
Problem: .gitignore contained 48 lines of C/shared-object boilerplate
irrelevant to a Lua Neovim plugin. .gitmodules was tracked but empty.
Solution: replace .gitignore with minimal entries covering only files
this project actually produces. Delete the vestigial .gitmodules.
* build: add editorconfig and prettierrc
Problem: no editor or formatter configuration, inconsistent with
cp.nvim and diffs.nvim conventions.
Solution: add .editorconfig (2-space Lua indent, utf-8, final newline)
and .prettierrc (prose wrap, 80 cols, single quotes, no semi) matching
the other repos.
* build: add Makefile for lint and test targets
Problem: .github/pre-commit calls `make fastlint` and .github/pre-push
calls `make lint && make test`, but no Makefile existed, so the git
hooks failed.
Solution: add Makefile with lint (stylua + selene), fastlint
(pre-commit), and test (luarocks test) targets.
* docs: add fork copyright to LICENSE
Problem: LICENSE only contained the original author's copyright notice.
Solution: add a second copyright line for the fork maintainer. MIT
requires retaining the original notice; adding a line for derivative
work is standard practice.
* ci: restructure workflows to quality/test/luarocks pattern
Problem: CI used a single tests.yml for linting, typechecking, and
testing. No conditional path filtering, no markdown format check, and
a stale mirror_upstream_prs.yml and duplicate luarocks.yml existed.
Solution: replace tests.yml with quality.yaml (stylua, selene,
lua-typecheck, prettier with dorny/paths-filter) and test.yaml
(nvim-busted, stable+nightly matrix). Update luarocks.yaml to
reference quality.yaml. Delete mirror_upstream_prs.yml and duplicate
luarocks.yml. Fix automation workflow sender check.
* build: rewrite issue templates
Problem: issue templates used upstream stevearc references, severity
dropdowns, outdated lazy.nvim bootstrap, and the .yml extension
inconsistent with other repos.
Solution: replace with .yaml templates matching cp.nvim/diffs.nvim
style. Bug report uses prerequisites checkboxes, checkhealth output,
modern lazy.nvim bootstrap with vim.g.oil pattern. Feature request
uses problem/solution/alternatives format. Add config.yaml to disable
blank issues and link discussions.
* docs: rewrite README
Problem: README contained upstream triage tables, severity dropdowns,
the old setup() pattern, a tree view question, and references to
stevearc/oil.nvim as the primary source.
Solution: full rewrite matching cp.nvim/diffs.nvim style with bold
tagline, features list, requirements, installation, documentation,
FAQ (lazy.nvim setup with vim.g.oil, migration guide, alternatives),
and acknowledgements crediting the original author.
* revert: remove Makefile
Problem: Makefile was added in b9279b5 but was previously deleted
intentionally.
Solution: remove it.
* feat: support vim.g.oil declarative configuration
Problem: oil.nvim requires an imperative require("oil").setup(opts)
call to initialize. The Neovim ecosystem is moving toward vim.g.plugin
as a declarative config source that works without explicit setup calls.
Solution: fall back to vim.g.oil in config.setup() when no opts are
passed, and add plugin/oil.lua to auto-initialize when vim.g.oil is
set. Explicit setup(opts) calls still take precedence. Update docs
and add tests for the new resolution order.
Closes: barrettruth/oil.nvim#1
* doc: minor phrasing "improvements"
* fix(doc): restore Q/A format in FAQ and close lua block
* feat: support vim.g.oil declarative configuration
Problem: oil.nvim requires an imperative require("oil").setup(opts)
call to initialize. The Neovim ecosystem is moving toward vim.g.plugin
as a declarative config source that works without explicit setup calls.
Solution: fall back to vim.g.oil in config.setup() when no opts are
passed, and add plugin/oil.lua to auto-initialize when vim.g.oil is
set. Explicit setup(opts) calls still take precedence. Update docs
and add tests for the new resolution order.
Closes: barrettruth/oil.nvim#1
* build: remove release-please pipeline
Problem: the release-please action creates automated releases that
are not needed for this fork's workflow.
Solution: remove the release job from tests.yml and the
release-please branch exclusion from the review request workflow.
* fix(doc): improve readme phrasing
* doc: minor phrasing "improvements"
* ci: add luarocks release on tag push
Problem: there is no automated way to publish oil.nvim to luarocks
when a new version is tagged.
Solution: add a luarocks workflow that triggers on v* tag pushes,
runs the test suite via workflow_call, then publishes via
luarocks-tag-release. Add workflow_call trigger to tests.yml so it
can be reused.
* docs: centralize documentation into helpdoc
Problem: documentation was spread across four files (README.md,
doc/oil.txt, doc/api.md, doc/recipes.md) with duplication and gaps.
User events were undocumented, and adapter docs only lived in the
README.
Solution: expand doc/oil.txt with five new sections (introduction,
requirements, adapters, recipes, events) from existing content. Trim
README to a landing page pointing to :help oil. Delete doc/api.md
and doc/recipes.md since their content now lives in the helpdoc.
Closes: barrettruth/oil.nvim#6
* build: remove docgen pipeline
Problem: the Python docgen pipeline (scripts/generate.py,
scripts/main.py, nvim_doc_tools) was designed for upstream's doc
layout and is incompatible with the centralized helpdoc structure.
It overwrites doc/oil.txt entirely and expects sections in README.md
that no longer exist.
Solution: delete the pipeline scripts (generate.py, main.py,
requirements.txt), remove the update_docs CI job, and clean up the
Makefile and .gitignore references. Linting and typechecking remain
unchanged.
* docs: replace changelog with upstream divergence table in README
Problem: fork changes were not documented anywhere user-facing. The
auto-generated CHANGELOG.md tracked upstream releases, not fork
divergence.
Solution: delete CHANGELOG.md and add a collapsed <details> block to
README.md with two tables — cherry-picked PRs (by number, with commit
hashes) and triaged upstream issues (by number, with status and
resolution). This gives users a single place to see what the fork
offers over upstream.
* ci: add daily upstream PR mirror workflow
Problem: new upstream PRs required manual monitoring of
stevearc/oil.nvim to discover.
Solution: add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs daily at 08:00 UTC
and creates issues in the fork for any upstream PRs opened in the last
24 hours. Skips dependabot PRs and deduplicates by title prefix.
Issues are labeled upstream/pr for easy filtering.
Problem: the docgen workflow pushed directly to main, which is blocked
by repository rulesets. No token-based push from GitHub Actions can
bypass ruleset rules on personal repos.
Solution: replace the push step with a git diff --exit-code check that
fails if generated docs are out of date. Docs must now be committed by
the developer via make doc. Also regenerates docs to reflect batch 4
changes (close_float, OilFileIcon, OilExecutableHidden, recipe link).
Problem: there was no example showing how to register and sort by a
custom column.
Solution: add a recipe demonstrating an "extension" column with
natural-order sorting.
Cherry-picked from: stevearc/oil.nvim#697
Problem: the async fork of oil-git.nvim with directory highlighting
was not listed in the README.
Solution: add it to the third-party extensions list, disambiguating
both oil-git.nvim entries by author name.
