Diff LSP

Middleware Language server parsing diffs

Acts as a server from your editor’s point-of-view, and as a client to your “backend” LSPs (such as rust-analyzer or gopls).

Editor -> diff-lsp -> [rust-analyzer, gopls, pylsp, etc]

Allows your editor to use the following lsp capabilities in diffs

• Hover

• Jump Definition

• Find References

diff-lsp follows the standard language-server protocol, so you can configure your clients to use this LSP server. However, diff-lsp typically works on ephemeral buffers (such as git-status or code reviews), and LSP is a file-based protocol. This means that for usage in these buffers, some client modifications are required.

Quickstart

Emacs

See diff-lsp.el for configuring & running with emacs.

diff-lsp.el sets up diff-lsp for both magit status and code-review buffers.
