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.


  • Supports git, mercurial, darcs, bazaar, subversion, cvs, rcs, fossil, accurev, perforce, tfs.
  • VCS tools are executed asynchronously for Vim 7.4.1967+ or Neovim.
  • Mappings for navigation of hunks ("blocks of changed lines").
  • An operator that acts on hunks, e.g. for editing or deleting.
  • Optional line highlighting for lines with signs.
  • Preserve signs from other plugins.
  • Define lists for skipping certain filetypes or filenames.
  • Depending on your workflow you can also disable the plugin by default and toggle it per buffer later.
  • Great documentation and handsome maintainers!

If git is the only version control system you use, I suggest having a look at vim-gitgutter.
