For those of you that use version control, what do you use to edit your documents? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I recently (finally) moved a bunch of my poems and short stories and other writings off of Google Docs and into a git repo of text files. Right now I'm editing them with VSCode or Zed, which I just found and like so far. Both are fine but not really geared toward writing not-code. What have y'all found that you like writing in?

Do you use the LibreOffice GUI to edit the documents? if so can you diff in the editor or do you use something else? LO feels heavy for what I'm doing but if it has an easy path to diff the current text with the current commit and/or review the document's git history... that would be cool.
