A tiny Neovim plugin that shows a simple, keyboard‑driven list of recent Git commits and lets you diff them quickly via Diffview.

Works great for: “show me the last N commits, let me pick one (or two) and open the diff”.

• Lists recent commits using git log (configurable max_count)
• Toggle selection with space, navigate with j/k
• Press Enter to open diffs in diffview.nvim or codediff.nvim
  • 1 selected commit → diff that commit against its parent (<hash>^..<hash>)
  • Consecutive commits selected → diff the whole range (<oldest>^..<newest>)
  • Non-consecutive commits selected → combined diff of only the selected commits (like JetBrains' git log): the skipped commits in between are left out. This works by cherry-picking the selection onto a synthetic commit in a temporary worktree; if a skipped commit conflicts with a selected one, the plugin falls back to opening one diff per selected commit.

• Neovim ≥ 0.10 (uses vim.system)
• Git available on your $PATH
• One diff viewer plugin:
  • sindrets/diffview.nvim, or
  • esmuellert/codediff.nvim

{
  "Salanoid/gitlogdiff.nvim",
  main = "gitlogdiff",
  dependencies = {
    "sindrets/diffview.nvim",
  },
  cmd = "GitLogDiff",
  opts = { max_count = 300 },
}

use({
  "Salanoid/gitlogdiff.nvim",
  requires = {
    "sindrets/diffview.nvim",
  },
  config = function()
    require("gitlogdiff").setup({
      max_count = 300,
    })
  end,
})

Note: This plugin defines the :GitLogDiff command on load. If your plugin manager pre-defines lazy command stubs, gitlogdiff.nvim will safely overwrite them (we create the command with force = true).

• Run :GitLogDiff inside a Git repository
• Navigate with j/k
• Toggle selection with <space>
• Press <CR> to open diffs in your diff viewer
• Press q to close the list

require("gitlogdiff").setup({
  max_count = 300, -- how many commits to list
  viewer = "auto", -- "auto" | "diffview" | "codediff"
})

With viewer = "auto" (the default), the plugin uses diffview.nvim if it is installed and falls back to codediff.nvim otherwise. Set it explicitly if you have both and want codediff.

• “No git commits found”: you are likely not in a Git repo (or max_count is 0)
• “git log failed …”: check that git is installed and available in $PATH
