`lazygit` is incredible, it is definitly the gold standard for full git management in the terminal.

`difi` focuses for a much simpler review workflow, a TUI for `git diff`.

Thanks for sharing!

    I primarily use lazygit for diff/patch editing as I'm preparing PRs so that commits are in a useful order for reviewers (at least those who choose to go commit-by-commit).

    Aside from the fact that I've built workflows for lazygit related to patch editing, the main issue I'd have with `difi` is I use vim and won't use nvim (which should have the tagline "not vim", not "neo vim", because it's not vim in very important ways).

    how is it simpler?

    1. It looks an equivalent diff experience as lazygit

    2. As soon as I need to do something more than `git diff`, it becomes more complex (by nature of needing multiple tools to get my job done)

    A minimal tool in itself does not confer greater simplicity
