Show HN: Deff – side-by-side Git diff review in your terminal
I wrote a script that takes two git commits and opens all changed files in vimdiff tabs side by side. I find lots of things too hard to see in github gui. It depends one [tpope's vim-fugitive].

I'll paste it next time I'm on that machine.

For vim heads also worth checking out tpope's fugitive:
https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive
Very useful for inspecting and staging changes, making commits, etc.
I find you can pretty much do anything with it, and it's much faster than anything else, but it does have a slight learning curve. The documentation is very good!

Notes on Switching to Helix from Vim
I tried helix a few months ago. Before that, I gave it a try several times. The editor is fine, but I always go back to vim and vscode for these reasons:
- In vim, I can use vim-fugitive [1] to easily run git add and git commit. Not sure if helix has that level of integration with Git (I like the gutter, though).
- I prefer vscode to code in Rust because of rust-analyzer [2]. That plugin gives me type type annotations along each variable. Helix can also provide some hints, but not that many as rust-analyzer.

How to commit part of file in Git
the only reason I do some git stuff in vim and not _always_ in the shell, is because tpope is very thoughtful and fugitive.vim provides nice ways to deal with hunks or hunk partials (visually selecting a range within a hunk, for i.e.)

GitUI
I agree, navigating blame history is incredibly useful, if only to save you from asking the wrong person about a particular change.
Vim's Fugitive[1] can do this and also in Textmate to. So I would hope that most editor git plugins can.

Is it too late to learn emacs as a vim lifer?
You'll want to invest the time in learning Magit, which will change your life once you get the hang of it (and I was a heavy user of Fugitive in Vim previously!), and it's unlikely you'll find a better integration with GDB anywhere else on the planet than with Emacs, though I can't say that empirically. You just need to take the plunge and start learning it, then cut over and take the hit in productivity one day when you're feeling adventurous. You'll ultimately become far more powerful than you've ever been. Especially if you delve into elisp over time. I use Spacemacs, which is bloated and has bugs, but it has so many features that I haven't undertaken the massive endeavor to replace it from scratch yet.
