Context:
When using org files, one normally tends to add Github code links to an
algorithm/bug explanation so that readers are able to follow along with a PR
change.
The current `<SPC> g l L` command gets us the URL to the current branch; given
the code is in flux, the link becomes non-sensical rather quickly, loosing value
when trying to build a document with explanations about the code.
This PR allows us to get the Permalink (e.g. link associated to the commit, not
the branch); using this, the URL contents will never change with new commits
submitted to the repository.
Changes:
* Add two new functions with associated keybindings:
- `<SPC> g l p` maps to `spacemacs/git-permalink`
- `<SPC> g l P` maps to `spacemacs/git-permalink-copy-url-only`
* The above changes rely on mechanisms of `git-link`, so no new code needs to
be introduced
Moved:
- ("ai" "irc") to both the `erc` and `rcirc` layers. They don't have to be
renamed until the layers are loaded.
- ("ay" "ipython notebook") to the `ipython-notebook` layer.
- ("p$" "projects/shell")
("'" "open shell")
("as" "shells")
to the `shell` layer.
- The commands with keybindings from spacemacs-bootstrap/packages.el to
spacemacs-defaults/keybindings.el.
Removed:
- ("gd" "diff") it seems to be an old group name, there's no `SPC g d` group at
the moment.
- ("Re" "elisp") and ("Rp" "pcre") because they have moved to:
("xr" "regular expressions")
("xre" "elisp")
("xrp" "pcre")
- ("xm" "move") seems to be an old move text group, the current keybindings are
`SPC x J` and `SPC x K` which opens the Move Text Transient State.
- ("b" "persp-buffers") because `SPC b` is also renamed as ("b" "buffers") which
is more general and not persp-mode specific.
Magit now uses Transient instead of magit-popup, and we must adapt. Also had to
replace the recently removed magit-diff-buffer-file-popup with
magit-diff-buffer-file (similar but doesn't offer a popup before displaying the
diff).
Note some upstream packages haven't adapted to this change, but when they do we
might need similar fixes:
- magithub
- magit-gitflow
- magit-svn
This reverts commit 29c78ce841 and all other fixes
that have been made afterwards.
The motivation is that use-package is seen by many as a replacement for
`require`. Is use-package always defer the loading of packages then is breaks
this use case, this does not respect POLA so even if it was making Spacemacs
loading faster (up to 3s faster on some startup on my machine) we just cannot
use it, it would be irresponsible. Spacemacs should be easy to use, loading
performance will come with time but it is not a priority.
