I often review Pull requests from the browser as it just makes it so easy to see the diffs and navigate through them, but there comes a time when the diffs get really big and hard to follow. That's when its time to bring in the comforts of vim.
Plugins needed #
This all stems from the great plugin by AndrewRadev. It breaks a down into a project. So rather than poping into a pager from git diff, you can pipe to diffurcate and it will setup a project in a tmp directory for you and you can browse this project just like any other except it's just a diff.
Plug 'AndrewRadev/diffurcate.vim'
My aliases #
First to quickly checkout PR's from azure devops I have setup an alias to fuzzy
select a pr and let the az command do the checkout.
alias azcheckout='az repos pr checkout --id $(az repos pr list --output table | tail -n -2 | fzf | cut -d " " -f1)'
Next I have a few aliases setup for checking diffs. The first one checks what is staged vs the current branch, the others check the current branch vs main or master.
alias diffstaged="git diff --staged | nvim - +Diffurcate '+Telescope find_files'" alias diffmain="git diff main.. | nvim - +Diffurcate '+Telescope find_files'" alias diffmaster="git diff master.. | nvim - +Diffurcate '+Telescope find_files'" diffcommit() { git diff $1 | nvim - +Diffurcate '+Telescope find_files' }
