A git commit browser.

gitv is nice. But I needed a faster, and possibly simpler alternative that I can use with a project with thousands of commits.

Requires fugitive.

Using vim-plug:

Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Plug 'junegunn/gv.vim'

• :GV to open commit browser
  • You can pass git log options to the command, e.g. :GV -S foobar -- plugins.
• :GV! will only list commits that affected the current file
• :GV? fills the location list with the revisions of the current file

:GV or :GV? can be used in visual mode to track the changes in the selected lines.

• o or <cr> on a commit to display the content of it
• o or <cr> on commits to display the diff in the range
• O opens a new tab instead
• gb for :GBrowse
• ]] and [[ to move between commits
• . to start command-line with :Git [CURSOR] SHA à la fugitive
• q or gq to close

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
