Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax
The diff itself is impressive, but in terms of styling I still prefer diff-so-fancy[1]. It's easier to read at a glance.

How to improve the readability of diffs? Preferably in Terminal, but a desktop application would be acceptable too
I don't have much hope for this being improved anytime soon in diff-so-fancy given this issue, so I'm wondering if there's something else I can use in Terminal that would allow me to have an experience like GitLab. If that's not possible and I have to rely on a desktop application, that would be acceptable too.

Git Learnt
This is actually one that's really easy to write and remember but I hate typing and I run it all the time, so I've aliased it down to gd for git-diff. Also I use diff-so-fancy to make the output of my diffs look frickin sweet and I suggest you do the same.

diff: can I increase highlighting of a file name?
I recommend a tool like diff-so-fancy with some custom colors. You will never want to go back to vanilla diffs.

TIL: diff-so-fancy; and some funky git config
I just discovered diff-so-fancy, and very nice it is too. I immediately added it to my standard git config, which is semi-automatically installed on every machine I use. However, I've not (yet) installed diff-so-fancy on all the machines I use, and for those platforms for which it's not packaged I probably won't bother installing it from source.

Certain Mapping only when another command was called earlier (lua)

How to use Git?
In neovim I have a combination of gitsigns and diffview going. I really like the experience of resolving conflicts with diffview, and I just go through the quickfix list populated by gitsigns to handle staging.
- Your favourite Neovim plugins?

Should I learn lua? I am a vs code power user, which prevents me from completely adapting neovim, since I always find something is missing in neovim.
1) There's a plugin that does something similar, you can call :DiffviewFileHistory % to use it (% represents the current file).
