A Vim/Neovim plugin that reveals the Git commit message for the code under the cursor in a popup window. It lets users explore older commits and view commit diffs without leaving the editor.
Use cases
- find out why a line of code was added
- show the last commit message for the current line in vim
- browse commit history under the cursor
- view the diff of a commit inside neovim
- understand unfamiliar code by reading git commit messages
When to choose
- you work in Vim or Neovim and want quick inline git blame-style context
- you prefer a single key mapping to explore commit history and diffs
- you want floating-window commit info near the cursor on Neovim 0.4+
When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Vim or Neovim
- you need a full graphical git history browser
- your environment lacks Git 1.8.5 or later
