Question

As always, thank you for your work. It makes my experience with Neovim enormously better.

I'm sorry if I missed something obvious, but I want to configure the notification type produced by the git push command, as now it is a Warning, while I'd expect it to be Info, the same as for, say, git commit.

Thank you in advance.

I'm sorry if I missed something obvious, but I want to configure the notification type produced by the git push command, as now it is a Warning, while I'd expect it to be Info, the same as for, say, git commit.

I am afraid this is how Git itself reports the result of command execution. TL;DR (as my research leads to be to believe):

• There are (at least) three ways of CLI tool to notify about the status of its job: status code, err channel output, and "normal" channel output.
• The success of the job is determined by status code: if it is 0 - success, anything else - failure. Failures are notified as errors in 'mini.git'.
• In successful job err channel should be considered as something that draws user attention, usually denoted as "warnings". While "normal" output is a regular info/hint type of output.
• It so happens that Git CLI itself is notorious for writing into err channel a lot. I believe this is the case here.

The approach in 'mini.git' is to try and interfere into how Git itself does things. If it wants to use err in successful job - it should.

I'd suggest the following approaches if you absolutely must change it:

• Take a look into Git itself and its config. Maybe there is some form of "silent" configuration that can be enabled globally for your particular use case.
• Adjust your vim.notify implementation of choice to show notifications with "(mini.git)" prefix with Info level.
