indentLine VS vim-gitgutter

Before my emacs days, I used nvim with this package called indentLine. Basically it displays (maybe semi-transparent?) vertical lines for same indentation levels . It's visually helpful when I'm in python code.

If I understood your question and you don't mind adding a plugin, Yggdroot/indentLine might be what you're looking for.

I saw this on github: https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine but it's last bug fix was 2 years ago with 71 open issues.

(For example, in vim, I use https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine, but in nvim, I use https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim.)

If you use tabs for indentation check out :h 'list' and :h 'listchars'. If you use spaces there is the indentline plugin (or indent-blankline if you're using neovim).

If your file is saved as a particular language that supports indentation, it will automatically indent lines for you but it cannot be reliable. So, we need to IndentLine, and others as well.

https://github.com/Yggdroot/indentLine works with Vim 8, I use it (occasionally).

I personally use nerdtree. Add nerdtree-git-plugin too, that's nice when looking at your project (for files, use vim-gitgutter).

vim-gitgutter

That said, Neovim can still run most Vimscript plugins just fine, so you can still use https://github.com/chrisbra/changesPlugin (and https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter and https://github.com/mhinz/vim-signify/, which are mentioned in the README) if you want.

vim-signify or git gutter can do this for files managed by git.

https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter Since your already on neovim these plugins are excellent for git integration within vim! You may just prefer lazygit but having a tight integration in editor is definitely really nice for my personal workflow. Your approach is more unix-y where you have a tool for each job though!

vim-gitgutter supports staging/undoing hunks and a hunk text object. I find it convenient for this exact workflow.
