Question

I wish to write a function which I can add to my .vimrc file that will call a terminal command, and then bind it to <leader>u.

I cant seem to get it to work tho. I believe that I can use the system() function, but there is very little documentation available and I cant seem to get it to work.

The terminal command in question is ‘git push origin master‘.

I know that there are plugins available for git but I am not looking for any of these, just a simple function to bind a terminal command to a key combination.

function gitPush()
 system("git push origin master")
endfunction
:nmap <leader>u :call gitPush()

I know this is waaay out, but vim doesnt seem to want to make documentation very available.

Answer 1

function GitPush()
    !git push origin master
endfunction

Is the way to run a command in a subshell.

EDIT: User defined functions must begin with a capital letter too 😉
