How do I jump to the next/prev diff in GIT difftool?

Question

I am using git difftool to compare 2 large files in VIM. I want to navigate only to the lines that differ.

How do I navigate quickly between lines that differ using GIT difftool ?

I am looking for something like winmerge shortcut keys :
Alt+down - Next Change
Alt+Up - Prev Change

Apologies, I am pretty new to VIM

vim Has an extensive and pretty good helpfile. You would do yourself a favour trying to familiarize yourself with it.

from :h diff

3. Jumping to diffs *jumpto-diffs* Two commands can be used to jump to diffs: *[c* [c Jump backwards to the previous start of a change. When a count is used, do it that many times. *]c* ]c Jump forwards to the next start of a change. When a count is used, do it that many times.

I decided to use F5 and F6, by adding these lines to .vimrc : noremap <F5> [c and noremap <F6> ]c

In my vimrc, those are already taken to maximimize/normalize my window. The ] and [ are hard to reach but it's used in so many places (tmux, vim, ctags) that I decided to join them io trying to beat them.

@Flimm could you comment how to set it to be on F5 & F6 ?
