gf-diff is a Vim plugin designed to enhance the functionality of the gf command and similar commands within Vim.
This plugin allows users to open a file and position the cursor at a specific location within a diff hunk directly from the diff output.
It is particularly useful for reviewing patches and uncommitted changes directly in Vim.
- Navigate directly to the file and line from a diff output in Vim.
- Supports integration with the gf-user plugin for extended functionality.
- Vim 8.2.1978 or later
- gf-user 1.0.0 or later (vimscript#3891)
To install gf-diff, you can use your preferred Vim package manager or manually place the files in your .vim directory.
For example, using vim-plug:
Plug 'kana/vim-gf-user'
Plug 'kana/vim-gf-diff'Once installed, gf-diff extends the functionality of the gf command. When your cursor is on a line within a diff output, pressing gf will attempt to open the corresponding file and jump to the relevant line.
gf#diff#find(): This function investigates the hunk under the cursor and navigates accordingly.
gf-diff utilizes key mappings provided by the gf-user plugin. Refer to the gf-user documentation for details on default key mappings and customization.
