Diffview Extra

git.diffview adds diffview.nvim for reviewing file changes, branch diffs, and file history in a dedicated interface.

Enable it

-- ~/.config/blak/lua/blak/user.lua
return {
  extras = {
    enabled = {
      "git.diffview",
    },
  },
}

Because this extra adds a plugin, run:

:BlakExtras sync

What it adds

Surface	Contribution
Plugin	sindrets/diffview.nvim
Command	:DiffviewOpen
Command	:DiffviewFileHistory
Keymap	<leader>gD opens Diffview
Keymap	<leader>gH opens file history for the current file

The keymaps appear in :BlakKeys.

Common workflows

Open the current working tree diff:

:DiffviewOpen

Compare the current branch to main:

:DiffviewOpen main...HEAD

Inspect the current file’s history:

<leader>gH

user.lua configuration

The Blak extra intentionally keeps Diffview’s plugin options at their defaults. Your user.lua only needs to opt into the extra:

return {
  extras = {
    enabled = { "git.diffview" },
  },
}

For a custom Diffview setup, make a local extra that adds your preferred diffview.nvim lazy.nvim spec. That keeps the preference reversible and avoids hiding a workflow change in core config.

Disable it

:BlakExtras disable git.diffview
:BlakExtras sync

Restart Blak to unload already-registered commands and keymaps from the current session.
