Make sure your system contains the amazing tig utility:

sudo apt install tig

And now execute as a normal user:

curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ghomem/84549becd122453f27f7278cae19b91a/raw/ | bash

Note that the script that gets executed is this:

Now you are ready to use vim with the following shortcuts:

• SPACE - expands a directory / opens a file moving the focus
• ENTER - opens a file keeping the focus on the file tree
• control + t - opens tig for the current file
• control + b - opens tig blame for the current file
• control + y - opens tig for the directory of the current file
• control + f - greps recursively for a certain word
• control + arrow - switches to the window in the corresponding direction
• control + w w - cycles across the windows clockwise
• F4 - opens a terminal in the directory of the current file
• F5 - sets to current buffer window to full screen
• F6 - toggles the line numbers
• :q - closes all buffers and quits

Note: to move from the terminal to the other windows control + w w must be used. The remaining shortcuts are ignored by the terminal.

The result should look like this:
