What it does

Git in the file listing
Every file shows its status and the last person to change it, beside a live changes box and the branch's recent history.
Changes, down to the word
Stage or unstage whole files or single hunks, discard and commit. Within a changed line, only the words that differ light up.
History and stashes
Browse any branch, open a commit, cherry-pick it or undo the last one. Create, apply and drop stashes.
A safety catch
Anything that changes your files asks for a random two-digit code first, so a stray key can't throw work away.
Neovim to match
Open a file at the right line, step through changes inline, and pick from five themes that recolour everything together.

The keys you'll use most

  • enterthe changes browser
  • ;the commit history
  • sthe stash browser
  • /find files by name, \ search inside them
  • →open a folder, or a file in Neovim
