About gitsigns.nvim

gitsigns.nvim adds Git integration to Neovim buffers. Added, changed and removed lines are marked in the sign column, and you can stage, reset and preview individual hunks without leaving the file you are editing.

It is written in Lua and installed through a Neovim plugin manager. It suits Neovim users who want to see and manage changes while they edit, and pairs well with a full Git interface for commits and history.

Strengths

  • Shows changed lines directly in the editor
  • Stage, reset and preview hunks inline
  • Widely used and actively maintained

Limitations

  • Works only in Neovim
  • Focused on hunks, not history or branch management
