Treesitter syntax highlighting for vim-fugitive diff views

Transform fugitive's regex-based diff highlighting into language-aware, treesitter-powered syntax highlighting.

Features

• Language-aware highlighting: Full treesitter syntax highlighting for code in diff hunks
• Automatic language detection: Detects language from filenames using Neovim's filetype detection
• Header context highlighting: Highlights function signatures in hunk headers (@@ ... @@ function foo())
• Performance optimized: Debounced updates, configurable max lines per hunk
• Zero configuration: Works out of the box with sensible defaults

Requirements

• Neovim 0.9.0+
• vim-fugitive
• Treesitter parsers for languages you want highlighted

Installation

Using lazy.nvim:

{
  'barrettruth/fugitive-ts.nvim',
  dependencies = { 'tpope/vim-fugitive' },
  opts = {},
}

Configuration

require('fugitive-ts').setup({
  enabled = true,
  debug = false,
  languages = {},
  disabled_languages = {},
  highlight_headers = true,
  debounce_ms = 50,
  max_lines_per_hunk = 500,
})

Option	Default	Description
enabled	true	Enable/disable highlighting
debug	false	Log debug messages to :messages
languages	{}	Custom filename → language mappings
disabled_languages	{}	Languages to skip (e.g., {"markdown"})
highlight_headers	true	Highlight context in @@ ... @@ hunk headers
debounce_ms	50	Debounce delay for re-highlighting
max_lines_per_hunk	500	Skip treesitter for large hunks
