Looking for a git history plugin (feddit.nl)

I need to be able to see the difference between the current working file and the previous commit as I am editing the file. The only history plugins I can find either use pop-ups (which disappear when I start typing) or a dedicated diff-view which takes up too much space on my small monitor.

I’m on my phone so I can’t really test these out. But this should give you a few methods for printing the list of files changed.

Here’s a similar page to show the changes for a specific file. I expect that git blame will be similarly useful.

A few others that may help you get started as well:

git —help
git rev-parse
git log
git history
