Open Source Lua Git Software

Super fast git decorations implemented purely in lua/teal. Signs for added, removed, and changed lines. Asynchronous using luv. Navigation between hunks. Stage hunks (with undo). Preview diffs of hunks (with word diff). Customizable (signs, highlights, mappings, etc). Status bar integration. Git blame a specific line using virtual text. Hunk text object. Automatically follow files moved in the index. Live intra-line word diff. Ability to display deleted/changed lines via virtual lines. Support for yadm. Support for detached working trees. If you are running a development version of Neovim (aka master), then breakage may occur if your build is behind latest. Gitsigns provides an on_attach callback which can be used to setup buffer mappings. This plugin is actively developed and by one of the most well regarded vim plugin developers. Gitsigns will only implement features of this plugin if: it is simple, or, the technologies leveraged by Gitsigns (LuaJIT, Libuv, Neovim's API, etc).

sbdiff is a frontend for (GNU) diff. It compares files and directories line by line, outputs the files side-by-side in two columns and colorizes the differences. Because it is a console application, no GUI is necessary.
