Question

Is diffview style diffs possible to be recreated with mini ?
I marked mini.git as well, tho I am looking to display diffs from jj instead

I am afraid, no, not really. There is built-in :h diff that can show the differences. For me an overlay feels more practical.

I am yet to embark on exploring jj, but there is a feeling that some sort of 'mini.nvim' is possible in the future.

Looking forward to it!, I honestly feel more people will start switching over to jj in the future just because how much it simplifies git

@echasnovski Interesting! Lazygit is on my list to try out, but I haven't done it yet. So you would strongly recommend checking it out?

Yeah, I'd say so. I've been using it for about three years now (according to my dotfiles) and it is very convenient. Beware that it needs some time to get used to. Take a look at feature demos and maybe tutorials on the Internet to squeeze the most out of it.

Thank you for the recommendation!
