Get files, buffer, git options in Neotree like AstroVim

[speri203]

Hi,

I am trying to configure my Neo-tree to mimic AstroVim, and also the following screenshot from the docs,

, but I am unable to get it working. I can access the buffer and git using float mode but am not seeing the option when I access :Neotree. My config is pulled from Astrovim and looks like this:

return {
  "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim",
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
    "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", -- not strictly required, but recommended
    "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
  },
  opt = {
    close_if_last_window = true,
    popup_border_style = "rounded",
    enable_git_status = true,
    enable_diagnostics = true,
    source_selector = {
      winbar = false,
      statusline = true,
    },
    default_component_configs = {
      indent = {
        indent_size = 2,
        padding = 0,
        with_markers = true,
        indent_marker = "│",
        last_indent_marker = "└",
        highlight = "NeoTreeIndentMarker",
        with_expanders = false,
        expander_collapsed = "",
        expander_expanded = "",
        expander_highlight = "NeoTreeExpander",

      icon = {

        default = "",
      },
      name = {
        trailing_slash = false,
        use_git_status_colors = true,
      },
      git_status = {
        symbols = {

        visible = false,
        hide_dotfiles = true,
        hide_gitignored = false,
        hide_by_name = {
          ".DS_Store",
          "thumbs.db",

    },

      window = {
        mappings = {

        },

    },
    git_status = {

        mappings = {

          ["gr"] = "git_revert_file",
          ["gc"] = "git_commit",
          ["gp"] = "git_push",
          ["gg"] = "git_commit_and_push",
        },
      },
    },
    event_handlers = {
      {
        event = "vim_buffer_enter",
        handler = function(_)
          if vim.bo.filetype == "neo-tree" then
            vim.wo.signcolumn = "auto"
          end
        end,
      },
    },
  },
}

I am using LazyVim which is why the structure looks like this

If you want somegthing to open in float mode by default, you just need to set

      window = {
        position = "float",

in that sources section of the config, like you have done with the git_status source. You can also open any source in float mode by adding the parameter "float" to the command:

:Neotree float filesystem

The README has a very detailed explanation of how to use the :Neotree command: https://github.com/nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim#the-neotree-command

Right, but the behavior I want is not in "float" mode which you mentioned. The behavior I am looking for is in the original screenshot where you have clickable filesystem, buffer, git all in the neo-tree menu. I can click through the options. In the original screenshot I linked they are in the filesystem mode, but they can click into buffer or git to get their respective output.

Hey @speri203, also using Lunarvim. I have set winbar and statusline to true. This shows the tabs at the top like AstroNvim but it seems to appear and disappear; I haven't been able to determine why yet.

      require("neo-tree").setup({
        auto_clean_after_session_restore = true,
        close_if_last_window = true,
        source_selector = {
          winbar = true,
          statusline = true,
        },
        window = {
          position = "right",
          width = 30,
        },
        buffers = {
          follow_current_file = true,
        },
        filesystem = {
          follow_current_file = true,
          hijack_netrw_behavior = "open_current",
          use_libuv_file_watcher = true,
          filtered_items = {
            hide_dotfiles = false,
            hide_gitignored = false,
            hide_by_name = {
              "node_modules"
            },
            never_show = {
              ".DS_Store",
              "thumbs.db"
            },
          },
        },
      })

@abayomi185 Thank you so much! This worked and I was able to transfer the rest of the config over. Much love. In my quick testing so far I haven't found a situation where it disappears, here is my config in its entirety for LazyVim

I have set winbar and statusline to true.

You should really only set one of them to be true. From the description, it sounds like you both want winbar = true which is at the top of the window.
