inlinediff-nvim

Simplest Neovim inline diff view with character-level highlighting.

• VS Code-style inline diff view
• Character-level highlighting across the entire buffer width
• Auto-refresh with configurable debounce
• Git-index comparison (works with unsaved buffers)
• Configurable colors

This plugin is solely focused on providing a better inline Git diff view. It is meant to be used alongside your favorite Git plugin (for example, gitsigns). I created inlinediff-nvim because gitsigns lacked character-level highlighting and its inline decorations could disappear on cursor move.

inspiration: mini.diff, gitsigns

Install with your favorite plugin manager

-- lazy.nvim
return {
    "YouSame2/inlinediff-nvim",
    lazy = true, -- disable loading plugin until called with cmd or keys
    cmd = "InlineDiff",
    opts = {}, -- leave blank to use defaults
    keys = {
        {
            "<leader>ghp",
            function()
                require("inlinediff").toggle()
            end,
            desc = "Toggle inline diff",
        },
    },

Default opts (configure to your liking)

opts = {
    debounce_time = 200,
    ignored_buftype = { "terminal", "nofile" },
    ignored_filetype = { "TelescopePrompt", "NvimTree", "neo-tree" },
    colors = {
        -- context = dim background color; change = bright background color for changed text.
        InlineDiffAddContext = "#182400",
        InlineDiffAddChange = "#395200",
        InlineDiffDeleteContext = "#240004",
        InlineDiffDeleteChange = "#520005",
    },
}
