Adds du/dU keymaps to fugitive's :Git status buffer for opening unified
diffs instead of side-by-side diffs:
- du opens horizontal split (mirrors dd)
- dU opens vertical split (mirrors dv)
Parses status buffer lines to extract filename and detect section
(staged/unstaged/untracked). For staged files, diffs index vs HEAD.
For unstaged files, diffs working tree vs index.
Configurable via vim.g.diffs.fugitive.horizontal/vertical (set to
false to disable).
Adds gdiff_file() which can diff any file path (not just current buffer)
with support for staged vs unstaged changes:
- staged=true diffs index against HEAD
- staged=false diffs working tree against index
- Falls back to HEAD if file not in index (for untracked comparison)
Adds functions for accessing git index content and working tree files:
- get_index_content() retrieves file from staging area via :0:path
- get_working_content() reads file directly from disk
- file_exists_in_index() checks if file is staged
- file_exists_at_revision() checks if file exists at given revision
Compares current buffer against any git revision (default HEAD), opens result
with full diffs.nvim syntax highlighting. Follows fugitive convention:
:Gdiff/:Gvdiff open vertical split, :Ghdiff opens horizontal split.
Apply treesitter highlighting to diff metadata lines (diff --git, index,
---, +++) using the diff language parser. Header info is attached only
to the first hunk of each file to avoid duplicate highlighting.
Based on PR #52 by @phanen with fixes:
- header_lines now only contains diff metadata, not hunk content
- header info attached only to first hunk per file
- removed arbitrary hunk count restriction
Treesitter parses diff hunks in isolation without surrounding code
context, which can cause incorrect highlighting when hunks show partial
blocks (e.g., adding lines inside `return { ... }` without seeing the
`return`). Document this as a known limitation in README and vimdoc.
