vim-merginal VS lazygit.nvim

I still use Fugitive. I also use my own plugin, Merginal, that has Fugitive as a dependency and adds some TUI for working with branches and history commits.

To answer your branch question, check out the vim-merginal plugin. I cover this in the book, Chapter 16.

https://github.com/idanarye/vim-merginal for checking out branches and creating new ones.

There is even a plugin for Vim, that lets you open it in a floating overlay. https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

there's a lazygit plugin if you want to skip the step of opening Toggleterm

I really like this lazygit integration: https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

So I use https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim All of my git workflow is done in lazygit gg opens the float and away I go

I don't use IntelliJ, so, I don't know how it exactly looks like. But I use this: https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

Why not just use lazygit.nvim?

But using vim-floaterm instead of the https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim plugin (which mentions a different plugin https://github.com/akinsho/nvim-toggleterm.lua#custom-terminals as an alternative).

Have you heard of lazygit.nvim?

There is also Neovim plugin which can open lazygit in a floating window. Files will be opened in the active Neovim instance.
