Jump between #git hunks in Vim with vim-gitgutter
One of my favorite Vim plugins is vim-gitgutter - it shows gutter markings for changes in the current buffer when that file is tracked by git.
It looks like this:
+
= new lines
-
= deleted line
~
= changed line
It also comes with a few very useful commands for working with hunks, sections of changed code in your file.
To jump between hunks you can use ]c
and [c
. Since I don’t really use the return
and backspace
keys in normal mode I have mapped those instead:
nnoremap :GitGutterNextHunk
nnoremap :GitGutterPrevHunk
This is especially useful on big files (more than a bufferful) with scattered changes.
