+# Jump Between Changes In Current File
+
+With the [gitsigns.nvim plugin](https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim) for
+Neovim, I get some handy Git-related capabilities like gutter highlighting of
+additions, deletions, and changes to lines in the current file. These contiguous
+sections of modification to the versioned state of a file are called hunks.
+
+Here are two mappings (in Lua) for gitsigns that allow me to jump to the next
+(`]h`) or previous (`[h`) hunk in the current file.
+
+```lua
+---@type LazyKeysSpec[]
+M.gitsigns_mappings = {
+
+  -- Navigation
+  {
+    ']h',
+    function()
+      if vim.wo.diff then
+        vim.cmd.normal { ']c', bang = true }
+      else
+        require('gitsigns').nav_hunk 'next'
+      end
+    end,
+    desc = 'Next Hunk',
+  },
+
+  {
+    '[h',
+    function()
+      if vim.wo.diff then
+        vim.cmd.normal { '[c', bang = true }
+      else
+        require('gitsigns').nav_hunk 'prev'
+      end
+    end,
+    desc = 'Prev Hunk',
+  },
+}
+```
+
+This is particularly useful when I've just opened a big file and I want to jump
+directly to active changes in that file.
+
+I got this mapping directly from [Dorian's
+dotfiles](https://github.com/dkarter/dotfiles).
