**Syntax highlighting for diffs in Neovim**
|
|
|
|
Enhance vim-fugitive and Neovim's built-in diff mode with language-aware syntax
|
|
highlighting.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Treesitter syntax highlighting in `:Git` diffs and commit views
|
|
- `:Gdiffsplit` / `:Gvdiffsplit` syntax through diff backgrounds
|
|
- Background-only diff colors for any `&diff` buffer (`:diffthis`, `vimdiff`)
|
|
- Vim syntax fallback for languages without a treesitter parser
|
|
- Hunk header context highlighting (`@@ ... @@ function foo()`)
|
|
- Configurable debouncing, max lines, and diff prefix concealment
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Neovim 0.9.0+
|
|
- [vim-fugitive](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive) (optional, for unified
|
|
diff syntax highlighting)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Using [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim):
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
{
|
|
'barrettruth/diffs.nvim',
|
|
dependencies = { 'tpope/vim-fugitive' },
|
|
opts = {},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
:help diffs.nvim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Highlight Groups
|
|
|
|
diffs.nvim defines the following highlight groups. All use `default = true`, so
|
|
colorschemes can override them.
|
|
|
|
| Group | Purpose |
|
|
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `DiffsAdd` | Background for `+` lines in fugitive unified diffs |
|
|
| `DiffsDelete` | Background for `-` lines in fugitive unified diffs |
|
|
| `DiffsAddNr` | Line number highlight for `+` lines |
|
|
| `DiffsDeleteNr` | Line number highlight for `-` lines |
|
|
| `DiffsDiffAdd` | Background-only `DiffAdd` for `&diff` windows |
|
|
| `DiffsDiffDelete` | Background-only `DiffDelete` for `&diff` windows |
|
|
| `DiffsDiffChange` | Background-only `DiffChange` for `&diff` windows |
|
|
| `DiffsDiffText` | Background-only `DiffText` for `&diff` windows |
|
|
|
|
By default, these are computed from your colorscheme's `DiffAdd`, `DiffDelete`,
|
|
`DiffChange`, `DiffText`, and `Normal` groups. To customize, define them in your
|
|
colorscheme before diffs.nvim loads, or link them to existing groups.
|
|
|
|
## Known Limitations
|
|
|
|
- Syntax "flashing": diffs.nvim hooks into the `FileType fugitive` event
|
|
triggered by vim-fugitive, at which point the buffer is preliminarily painted.
|
|
The buffer is then re-painted after `debounce_ms` milliseconds, causing an
|
|
unavoidable visual "flash" even when `debounce_ms = 0`.
