I use tig-explorer which allows to launch tig from vim (not really impressive) but open file from tig back into the parent vim (the interesting bit).

Self plug vim-tig. Haven't updated it in a while but I use it daily. Mapped ctrl+g to open.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but your mapping didn't work for me on Neovim - it either immediately close the terminal or didn't know what means.
Eventually I just moved to https://github.com/codeindulgence/vim-tig which does the same via `:Tig` and `:Tig!`.
I added those mappings to achieve the same:
```
  nnoremap gb :Tig! blame
```
