Signify (or just Sy) is a quite unobtrusive plugin. It uses signs to indicate added, modified and removed lines based on data of an underlying version control system.
It's fast, easy to use and well documented.
- supports git, mercurial, darcs, bazaar, subversion, cvs, rcs, fossil, accurev, perforce, tfs
- quick jumping between blocks of changed lines ("hunks")
- apart from signs there is also optional line highlighting
- preserves signs from other plugins
- you can toggle the plugin per buffer
- good documentation
- skip certain filetypes and filenames
- depending on your usual workflow you can disable it per default and enable on demand later
- fully configurable through global variables (options and mappings)
If git is the only version control system you use, I suggest having a look at vim-gitgutter. It provides more git-specific features that would be unfeasible for Sy, since it only implements features that work for all supported VCS.
Installation and Documentation
Use your favorite plugin manager, e.g. using vim-plug:
Plug 'mhinz/vim-signify'
It works without any configuration, but you might want to look into the documentation for further customization:
:h signify
The single most important option by far is g:signify_vcs_list. Please read
:h g:signify_vcs_list.
