## What it is
A Neovim plugin that launches the lazygit terminal UI inside a floating window within Neovim. It provides commands like :LazyGit and :LazyGitFilter to manage git repositories without leaving the editor.

## Use cases
- run lazygit inside neovim
- open a git tui in a floating window from the editor
- view git log for the current file in neovim
- stage and commit changes without leaving neovim
- customize lazygit config file path from neovim

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and already like lazygit's interface
- you want git operations integrated into your editor workflow
- you want a floating-window git UI with configurable borders and transparency

## When to avoid
- you don't use Neovim or lazygit
- you prefer a full-screen standalone git TUI
- you use Vim without Neovim features
