gv.vim is a Vim plugin that provides a fast, simple git commit browser inside the editor. It requires tpope's vim-fugitive and supports browsing, filtering, and viewing diffs of commits, including per-file and visual-line tracking.

Use cases

  • browse git commit history in vim
  • view commits that affected the current file
  • track changes to selected lines across revisions
  • view diffs between commits in vim
  • search commit history with git log options

When to choose

  • you work in Vim and want a fast commit browser for large repos with thousands of commits
  • you already use vim-fugitive and want lightweight history browsing
  • you need per-file or per-line revision tracking inside the editor

When to avoid

  • you use an editor other than Vim
  • you want a full graphical git client with staging and branch management
  • you don't want to depend on vim-fugitive
