About Diffview.nvim
Diffview.nvim gathers the diffs of all modified files for any Git revision into a single tab page in Neovim. You can step through each changed file from there, and it also shows file history across revisions.
It is written in Lua and suits Neovim users who review changes, merges or past commits and want to do it inside the editor instead of in a separate tool.
Strengths
- All changed files for a revision in one tab page
- File history browsing across revisions
- Stays inside Neovim
Limitations
- Neovim only, not classic Vim
- A review tool rather than a full Git client

Alternatives to Diffview.nvim
Compare allSoftware that can replace Diffview.nvim for an important use case, and what changes if you switch.
fugitive.vim
A Vim plugin that runs Git commands and handles staging, blame and diffs inside the editor.
fugitive.vim also shows diffs and blame inside the editor and works in classic Vim, while adding staging and running any Git command through :Git.
Flog
A Git branch graph viewer plugin for Vim and Neovim that works with fugitive.
Flog shows a branch graph and line-range history in Vim or Neovim, but it relies on fugitive for most Git actions and focuses on history over diffs.
Neogit
An interactive Git interface for Neovim, modelled on Emacs Magit.
Neogit stays inside Neovim but is a Magit-style Git interface for staging and committing, rather than a dedicated tool for cycling through revision diffs.
Kaleidoscope
A Mac file comparison and merge app for text, images and folders that integrates with Git.
Kaleidoscope moves diff review to a paid Mac app that compares text, images and folders, with three-way merge and file history outside the editor.

diffnav
A terminal pager for Git diffs that adds a GitHub-style file tree beside the changes.
Diffview.nvim moves diff review into Neovim, showing all changed files for a revision in one tab page and adding file history browsing, but it needs Neovim.
