vim-signify/README.md

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.

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
