How to enable git integration

[lpuljic]

Hi

This is more of a question as I couldn't find an answer in the doc folder of nvim-tree.

Is it possible to get this type of view when git is activated?

basically what I am after is to just show M next to the files that are modified like in the picture attached, and to highlight the directory that file is in, same as in the attached picture.

local M = {
  "nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua",
  event = "VeryLazy",
}

function M.config()
  local function my_on_attach(bufnr)
    local api = require "nvim-tree.api"

    local function opts(desc)
      return { desc = "nvim-tree: " .. desc, buffer = bufnr, noremap = true, silent = true, nowait = true }
    end

    api.config.mappings.default_on_attach(bufnr)

    vim.keymap.set("n", "l", api.node.open.edit, opts "Open")
    vim.keymap.set("n", "h", api.node.navigate.parent_close, opts "Close Directory")
    vim.keymap.set("n", "v", api.node.open.vertical, opts "Open: Vertical Split")
    vim.keymap.del("n", "<C-k>", { buffer = bufnr })
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<S-k>", api.node.open.preview, opts "Open Preview")
  end

  local icons = require "lp.icons"

  require("nvim-tree").setup {
    on_attach = my_on_attach,
    hijack_netrw = false,
    sync_root_with_cwd = true,
    view = {
      relativenumber = true,

          bookmark = icons.ui.BookMark,
          folder = {
            arrow_closed = icons.ui.ChevronRight,
            arrow_open = icons.ui.ChevronShortDown,
            default = icons.ui.Folder,
            open = icons.ui.FolderOpen,
            empty = icons.ui.EmptyFolder,
            empty_open = icons.ui.EmptyFolderOpen,
            symlink = icons.ui.FolderSymlink,
            symlink_open = icons.ui.FolderOpen,

:h nvim-tree.git.enable

[lpuljic]

is it possible to have all the icons aligned to the furthest left? basically to be inline

:h nvim-tree.renderer.icons.git_placement, you are most likely after signcolumn.
