• :Leaderf git diff --directly

  It is the same as running git diff in the command line.

• :Leaderf git diff

  Fuzzy search a file to view the diffs.

Leaderf.git.diff.mp4

Use :Leaderf git diff --recall to resume the fuzzy search.
In the diff file, ]c is used to jump to the next change, [c is used to jump to the previous change, <CR> is used to jump to the corresponding file to edit it.
To customize the shortcut keys, for example,

let g:Lf_GitKeyMap = {
            \ 'previous_change': '<C-N>',
            \ 'next_change': '<C-P>',
            \ 'edit_file': 'e',
            \ }

• :Leaderf git diff --side-by-side

  Fuzzy search a file to view the diffs in a side-by-side view.

Leaderf.git.diff.--side-by-side.mp4

In the diff file, ]c is used to jump to the next change, [c is used to jump to the previous change, <CR> is used to jump to the corresponding file to edit it.
To customize the shortcut keys, for example,

let g:Lf_GitKeyMap = {
            \ 'previous_change': '<C-N>',
            \ 'next_change': '<C-P>',
            \ 'edit_file': 'e',
            \ }

• :Leaderf git diff --explorer

  Open an explorer tabpage to view the diffs.

Leaderf.git.diff.--explorer.mp4
