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.

Installation

Use your favorite plugin manager, e.g. using vim-plug:

1. Understand how the plugin works by reading this short intro: :h signify-modus-operandi
