## Problem
Git diff metadata lines like "new file mode 100644" and "deleted file
mode 100644" matched the neogit "new file" and "deleted" filename
patterns in the parser, corrupting the current filename and breaking
syntax highlighting for subsequent hunks.
Closes#120
## Solution
Add negative guards so "new file mode" and "deleted file mode" lines
are skipped before the neogit filename capture runs. The guard must
evaluate before the capture due to Lua's and/or short-circuit semantics
— otherwise the and-operator returns true instead of the captured
string.
Added 16 parser tests covering all neogit filename patterns, all git
diff extended header lines that could collide, and integration scenarios
with mixed neogit status + diff metadata buffers.
## TODO
1. docs (vimdoc + readme) - this is a non-trivial feature
2. push luarocks version
## Problem
diffs.nvim only activates on `fugitive`, `git`, and `gitcommit`
filetypes.
Neogit uses its own custom filetypes (`NeogitStatus`,
`NeogitCommitView`,
`NeogitDiffView`) and doesn't set `b:git_dir`, so the plugin never
attaches
and repo root resolution fails for filetype detection within diff hunks.
## Solution
Two changes:
1. **`lua/diffs/init.lua`** — Add the three Neogit filetypes to the
default
`filetypes` list. The `FileType` autocmd in `plugin/diffs.lua` already
handles them correctly since the `is_fugitive_buffer` guard only applies
to the `git` filetype.
2. **`lua/diffs/parser.lua`** — Add a CWD-based fallback in
`get_repo_root()`.
After the existing `b:diffs_repo_root` and `b:git_dir` checks, fall back
to
`vim.fn.getcwd()` via `git.get_repo_root()` (already cached). Without
this,
the parser can't resolve filetypes for files in Neogit buffers.
Neogit's expanded diffs use standard unified diff format, so the parser
handles
them without modification.
Closes#110.
## Problem
Fugitive shows combined diffs (`@@@` headers, 2-character prefixes like
`++`, ` +`, `+ `) for unmerged (`UU`) files. The parser and highlight
pipeline assumed unified diff format (`@@`, 1-char prefix), causing:
- Prefix concealment only hiding 1 of 2 prefix chars
- Missing background colors on ` +` and `+ ` lines (first char is space
→ misclassified as context)
- No treesitter highlights (extra prefix char poisoned code arrays)
- `U` file header not recognized by parser (missing from filename
pattern)
## Solution
Detect prefix width from leading `@` count in hunk headers (`@@` → 1,
`@@@` → 2). Propagate `prefix_width` through the pipeline:
- **Parser**: new `prefix_width` field on `diffs.Hunk`, `U` added to
filename pattern, combined diff range extraction
- **Highlight**: prefix stripping, `col_offset`, concealment width, and
line classification all use `prefix_width`
- **Intra-line**: skipped for combined diffs (`prefix_width > 1`) since
2-char prefix semantics don't produce meaningful change groups
Problem: treesitter parses each diff hunk in isolation, so incomplete
syntax constructs at hunk boundaries (e.g., a function definition with
no body) produce ERROR nodes and drop captures.
Solution: read N lines from the on-disk file before/after each hunk and
prepend/append them as unmapped padding lines. The line_map guard in
highlight_treesitter skips extmarks for unmapped lines, so padding
provides syntax context without visual output. Controlled by
highlights.context (default 25, 0 to disable). Also applies to the vim
syntax fallback path via a leading_offset filter.
When a file has no extension but contains a shebang (e.g., `#!/bin/bash`),
filetype detection now reads the first 10 lines from disk and uses
`vim.filetype.match({ filename, contents })` for content-based detection.
This enables syntax highlighting for files like `build` scripts that rely
on shebang detection, even when the file isn't open in a buffer.
Detection order:
1. Existing buffer's filetype (already implemented in #69)
2. File content (shebang/modeline) - NEW
3. Filename extension only
Also adds `filetype on` to test helpers to ensure `vim.g.ft_ignore_pat`
is set, which is required for shell detection.
Files detected via shebang or modeline (e.g., `build` with `#!/bin/bash`)
weren't getting syntax highlighting because `vim.filetype.match()` only
does filename-based detection.
Now `get_ft_from_filename()` first checks if a buffer already exists for
the file and uses its detected filetype. This requires knowing the repo
root to construct the full path, so:
- `parse_buffer()` reads `b:diffs_repo_root` or `b:git_dir` (fugitive)
- `commands.lua` sets `b:diffs_repo_root` on diff buffers it creates

Previously, hunks were discarded entirely if vim.filetype.match()
returned nil. This meant files with unrecognized extensions got no
highlighting at all - not even the basic green/red backgrounds for
added/deleted lines.
Remove the (current_lang or current_ft) condition from flush_hunk()
so all hunks are collected. highlight_hunk() already handles the
case where ft/lang are nil by skipping syntax highlighting but still
applying background colors.

Apply treesitter highlighting to diff metadata lines (diff --git, index,
---, +++) using the diff language parser. Header info is attached only
to the first hunk of each file to avoid duplicate highlighting.
Based on PR #52 by @phanen with fixes:
- header_lines now only contains diff metadata, not hunk content
- header info attached only to first hunk per file
- removed arbitrary hunk count restriction
