# vim-signify

Or just: sy

Sy shows all added, deleted and changed lines since the last commit via Vim its
sign column (and much more!)

It's fast, highly configurable and well documented.

Features:

- supports git, mercurial, bazaar, subversion, cvs
- apart from signs there is also optional line highlighting
- fully configurable through global variables
- optional preserving of signs from other plugins
- you can toggle the plugin per buffer
- exception lists for filetypes and filenames
- good documentation

- quick developer response! :-)

Limits exist only in your mind! Vim on!

## What about vim-gitgutter?

Because people keep asking for it: Yes, I knew about vim-gitgutter before, I
even contributed to it. But in the end I just didn't like the codebase and
started my one own. And because I like programming VimL.

As to the difference.. all of Sy's features are stated above. The main
difference is probably the support for other DVCS. Moreover, execution speed is
one of the design goals.

## Installation

I suggest using tpope's plain and awesome pathogen:

- https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen

Afterwards, just clone vim-signify into ~/.vim/bundle/.

## Usage

`:h signify`

## Configuration

For more info: `:h signify-options`

    let g:signify_sign_overwrite = 1

    let g:signify_mapping_next_hunk = '<leader>gn'
    let g:signify_mapping_prev_hunk = '<leader>gp'

    let g:signify_mapping_toggle_highlight = '<leader>gh'

    let g:signify_mapping_toggle = '<leader>gt'

    let g:signify_sign_add    = '+'
    let g:signify_sign_delete = '-'
    let g:signify_sign_change = '*'

    let g:signify_exceptions_filetype = [ 'vim', 'c' ]
    let g:signify_exceptions_filename = [ '.vimrc' ]

    let g:signify_color_sign_guifg_add      = '#00ff00'
    let g:signify_color_sign_guifg_delete   = '#ff0000'
    let g:signify_color_sign_guifg_change   = '#ffff00'
    let g:signify_color_guibg               = '#111111'

    let g:signify_color_sign_ctermfg_add    = 2
    let g:signify_color_sign_ctermfg_delete = 1
    let g:signify_color_sign_ctermfg_change = 3
    let g:signify_color_sign_ctermbg        = 0

    let g:signify_color_line_highlight_add    = 'DiffAdd'
    let g:signify_color_line_highlight_delete = 'DiffDelete'
    let g:signify_color_line_highlight_change = 'DiffChange'
