How to copy the long hash of the commit under the cursor?

[mbeko]

I frequently need to find a commit in the history and copy its long hash. I'm aware of y<C-G>, but this only copies the short hash.

Currently, I press Enter on the commit, switch to the new window, and select the hash from the buffer name displayed on the tab bar with the mouse.

This is pretty tedious because I have to switch to the mouse and aim correctly to highlight the full hash and only the hash. If at least the hash was contained in the commit window, I could copy it with standard normal mode commands using only the keyboard.

Do you have any advice how to reach my goal in an easier way?

I just found out that I can do :Floggit show <Tab><Tab> and copy the hash in normal mode from the new window.

That's already an improvement, but I hope there's a quicker way

Put this autocmd in your flog augroup, in your vimrc:

augroup flog
    autocmd FileType floggraph nno <silent> yh :<C-U>call setreg('+', systemlist(flog#fugitive#GetGitCommand() . ' rev-parse ' . flog#Format("%(h)"))[0])<CR>
augroup END

Now yh copies the git hash into the '+' register, assuming you need it outside of vim. Otherwise, change that to the empty string for the default (unnamed) register, then just p will paste it.

That works great, thanks a lot! 🎉
