diferente.nvim

What is diferente.nvim?

diferente.nvim is a plugin that aims to improve the experience when commiting and merging changes in a Git repository.

This plugin could be seen as a Lua-rewrite spiritual succesor of commitia.vim, while trying to remaining minimal and modular. The end goal is to enhance the COMMIT_MSG and MERGE_MSG file types with tools and UI that (1) help improve commit messages and (2) have a better overview of the commit history.

Installation

Install diferente with your preferred package manager: vim-plug

Plug 'cvigilv/diferente.nvim'

packer

use 'cvigilv/diferente.nvim'

Usage & configuration

In order to configure diferente and use it, the following should be present in your init.lua:

require("diferente").setup({})

This will setup the keybind <S-Tab>, that will allow to switch to different modes inside the diferente UI.

The default values of diferente.nvim setup are:

{
  ratio = 0.3,                -- UI size, value must be between 0 and 1
  preference = "diff",        -- Buffer to open at startup, value is any of "diff", "log", "status"
  create_ex_commands = true,  -- Creates "Diferente*" ex-commands
  create_keymaps = true,      -- Sets <S-Tab> for fast switching between diferente UI buffers
}
