If you need to do a git diff
, but the first file it shows is a huge file, e.g. a Javascript library that got replaced, you can skip it in two steps:
- Type
/^diff -
to enter search mode with a slash and then search for diff - at the beginning of a line - which signifies the listing of a new file in diff's output - Hit
n
as much as you need to skip to the next file. Optionally, hitN
to go back to the previous file
