Modeline doesn't show git info about doom-modeline

[valignatev]

Looks like this:

doom-modeline/doom-modeline.el

Line 904 in dbfdf1b

(when (and vc-mode buffer-file-name)

returns nil for me although the file is certainly under git.

UPD: Oh, I see. It looks like an unintuitive behavior of vc-mode. It returns nil for dired buffers and for gitignored files. It's quite unfortunate.

Is it worth to replace vc-mode check with something more intuitive, what do you think? Maybe I'm still doing something wrong and there's a way of fixing/configuring this? Basically what I want is current branch info on my modeline whenever I'm in project buffers regardless of if files being ignored or if it's dired buffer.

Hope it all makes sense lol.

Hello, doom-modeline depends on vc-mode to detect vcs info. I believe doom-emacs also has the same behavior. vc-mode is nil in dired buffer. C-x v d to provide vc-dir to check the folder status. I think you should report the issue you mentioned above to upstream vc-mode. Or we find other ways to detect git info, like magit? But vc-mode is built-in and is a general interface of vcs. The similar question is on https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/38914/show-git-branch-in-dired-modeline. You can try https://github.com/10sr/git-ps1-mode-el, or port the codes to use global-mode-string to display in doom-modeline. I don't think it's worth to take much time to implement it.

BTW, I think it makes sense not displaying branch info for ignored files, otherwise you shouldn't add them to .gitignore, right?

It's debatable, I see this as a project info, no the individual file, but I see why it works like that, it makes sense as well.

Anyways, thanks for the links and your help, I think I'll handle that from here. :)
