vim-signify


Signify (or just Sy) uses the sign column to indicate added, modified and removed lines in a file that is managed by a version control system (VCS).


  • Supports git, mercurial, darcs, bazaar, subversion, cvs, rcs, fossil, accurev, perforce, tfs, yadm.
  • Asynchronous execution of VCS tools for Vim 7.4.1967+ and Neovim.
  • Preserves signs from other plugins.
  • Handles nested repositories controlled by different VCS.
  • Provides mappings for navigating hunks ("blocks of changed lines").
  • Provides an operator that acts on hunks.
  • Preview changes in the current line in a popup window.
  • Show all changes in diff mode.
  • Alternative workflow: Disable the plugin by default and toggle it per buffer on demand.
  • Optional line highlighting.
  • Optional skipping of filetypes/filenames.
  • Optional stats in the statusline.
  • Works out of the box, but allows fine-grained configuration.
  • Great documentation and handsome maintainers!
