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 own plugin. And because I like programming VimL.

vim-signify has all the features of gitgutter and more!

The main difference is probably the support for other DVCS. Moreover, execution speed and high configurability are two 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_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'
