Diff, blame & history
Three closely-related views, drill into history with the same shortcut chain once you’ve focused a file.
Enter on a file row inside a commit drilldown (or the Uncommitted view)
opens the Diff view. Layout is split between:
- Left, file path + hunk navigation.
- Right, the diff itself, syntax-highlighted by syntect (the theme
follows
core.option.syntax_theme).
core.option.diff_mode = "enhanced" (default) renders side-by-side. Set to
"unified" for the traditional git diff layout.
