If you use any of my plugins, please star them on github. It's a great way of
|
|
getting feedback and gives me the kick to put more time into their development.
|
|
If you encounter any bugs or have feature requests, just open an issue report on
|
|
Github.

Intro
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
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__.
|
|

What about vim-gitgutter?
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Sy provides a superset of gitgutter.
|
|
|
|
So here is the short answer: The main difference is Sy its support for version
|
|
control systems other than git. Moreover, two of its design goals are speed and
|
|
ease to use.

Installation & Documentation
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you have no preferred installation method, I suggest using tpope's
|
|
[pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen). Afterwards installing
|
|
vim-signify is as easy as pie:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/mhinz/vim-signify ~/.vim/bundle/vim-signify
|
|
|
|
It works without any configuration, but you might want to look into the
|
|
documentation for further customization:

|

|
:Helptags " rebuilding tags files
|
|
:h signify
