Vim-signify - my approach of a gutter plugin (github.com)

4 points by mhi 13y ago ↗ HN

This is my version of some kind of git-gutter plugin for Vim; vim-signify.

Features:

- supports git, mercurial, bazaar, subversion, cvs - pretty well documented - _everything_ is configurable through variables - quite fast - can be toggled on a per-buffer base - preserving of signs set by other plugins (optional) - additional line highlighting (optional)

I started writing it 3 days ago, but it's working pretty good for me already. I'd like to get some more feedback now. Thanks in advance.

(Feature requests are feedback, too!)

Pretty cool, but you could add a brief comparision with vim-gitgutter to the Readme, or explain why you felt the need for a new plugin.

I just added a short explanation to the README:

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.

Indeed, I noticed it is faster!

Rest well. :)
