If you use any of my plugins, please star them on github. It's a great way
|
|
|
|
|
of getting feedback and gives me the kick to put more time into their
|
|
|
|
|
development.

If you encounter any bugs or have feature requests, just open an issue
|
|
|
|

report on Github.

Signify (or just Sy) is a quite unobtrusive plugin. It uses signs to indicate
|
|
|
|
|
added, modified and removed lines based on data of an underlying version
|
|
|
|
|
control system.

It's __fast__, __easy to use__ and __well documented__.

What about vim-gitgutter?
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------

Sy provides a superset of gitgutter.
|
2013-03-14 07:51:19 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So here is the short answer: The main difference is Sy its support for version
|
|
|
|
|
control systems other than git. Moreover, two of its design goals are speed and
|
2013-10-02 08:27:22 -04:00
|
|
|
ease to use.
