About Flog
Flog shows a Git branch graph inside Vim or Neovim. It supports custom log formats, multiline commit messages, viewing the history of a selected range of lines, contextual command completion, navigation mappings, and commit-based marks and jump history.
It works together with the fugitive plugin for running Git commands on the commits you select. It suits Vim and Neovim users who want to explore history without switching to a separate program.
