Description

What? Something similar to :Git commit and :Git rebase -i commands in vim-fugitive

Why? All the neovim plugins I found are git interfaces that does a lot of things like neogit and lazygit.nvim. I just want to git commit inside neovim and not see double status bars.

Potential existing implementations: vim-fugitive

Potential pitfalls: I don't know how it works and vim-fugitive is not a small code base to read.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how vim fugitive implements `:Git commit` and `:Git rebase i`, then recreate similar functionality using Neovim's Lua API and job control to call git commands.
