A Neovim plugin written in Lua that provides deep Git integration for buffers, showing signs for added, changed, and deleted lines in the sign column. It supports hunk staging/resetting, inline and popup previews, line blame, and diffing against arbitrary revisions.

Use cases

• show git diff signs in neovim sign column
• stage and reset hunks without leaving the editor
• show git blame for the current line in neovim
• navigate between git hunks in a buffer
• preview git changes inline while editing
• diff current buffer against a git revision

When to choose

• you use Neovim and want fast, native Git gutter signs and hunk operations
• you want inline blame and hunk previews without switching to the terminal
• you need a lightweight, actively maintained Lua plugin for Git in Neovim

When to avoid

• you use an editor other than Neovim
• you need full Git client features like branch management or commit history browsing
• you prefer a GUI Git tool
