Question

Hi echasnovski! Is it possible to provide support for git add -p in mini.git explictly so that I can interactively stage hunks using :Git add -p. I think this would be a great addon since it does not depend on anything other than the installed git. You can also redirect users to use this functionality for staging going forward. Currently when I try :Git add -p it prints the output using vim.notify notifications providing no way to interact with it.

In theory it should be possible, of course, but this type of interactive subcommands is out of scope for 'mini.git'. The main reason is that I don't see a robust and concise programmatic way to detect this type of command and interact with it.

Just an idea I had in my mind and I donno if this works or not but cant we open a neovim terminal for these kind of interactive things and run this command in the terminal itself.

[echasnovski]

This might work, but I don't think detecting "these kind of interactive things" is possible without hardcoding specific command-argument combinations. And even in that case detecting them will not be straightforward, as target arguments can appear in almost any place (after Git but before --).

So at the moment I don't think it is worth added complexity.

Makes sense
