git-messenger.vim is a Vim and Neovim plugin that quickly reveals the Git commit message behind the line under the cursor. It helps developers understand why a line was added or changed without leaving the editor. The plugin shows the latest related commit in a popup window, floating window, or preview window depending on the editor version. If the most recent commit is not enough, users can explore older commits from the same interface. It can also show the diff for a selected commit, including options for unified and word diffs. This makes it useful when reading unfamiliar code, reviewing history, or debugging changes with context from version control.

Features

  • Commit message lookup under cursor
  • Vim and Neovim support
  • Floating or preview window display
  • Older commit exploration
