1. Intro                                                       *signify-intro*

Signify, or just sy for short, is an quite unobtrusive plugin. If there is
information about changes (in form of patch hunks) since the last commit, they
will be shown on the left side in Vim's sign column.

Easy-peasy!


==============================================================================
2. Usage                                                       *signify-usage*

The usage is pretty straight-forward. By default you should only notice a
difference, if you're working in a directory that is managed by a supported
version control system:

    - git
    - mercurial
    - bzr
    - subversion
    - cvs

The plugin defines 3 new kinds of signs and their corresponding highlighting
classes. It tries to inherent existing colors from the LineNr class, if that
fails, it sets its own colors. In case you don't like these colors, you can
change them easily through variables.


==============================================================================
3. Options                                                   *signify-options*

Just put these variables into your vimrc. The shown assignments are only
examples, not default 


    let g:signify_sign_overwrite = 1

Overwrite signs set by other plugins by default.


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

Mapping for jumping to the next or previous hunk.


    let g:signify_mapping_toggle_highlight = '<leader>gh'

Mapping for toggling line highlighting for lines containing changes.


    let g:signify_mapping_toggle = '<leader>gt'

Mapping for toggling the plugin for the current buffer only.


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

The sign to use if a line was added, deleted or changed.


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

Don't active the plugin for these filetypes and/or filenames.


    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

The colors of your sign column.

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

The highlight classes to use with line highlighting.
