:heavy_plus_sign: Show a diff using Vim its sign column.

---

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 (VCS).

---

• Supports git, mercurial, darcs, bazaar, subversion, cvs, rcs, fossil, accurev, perforce, tfs.
• Asynchronous execution of VCS tools for Vim 7.4.1967+ and Neovim.
• Preserves signs from other plugins.
• Handles nested repositories controlled by different VCS.
• Provides mappings for navigating hunks ("blocks of changed lines").
• Provides an operator that acts on hunks.
• Alternative workflow: Disable the plugin by default and toggle it per buffer on demand.
• Optional line highlighting.
• Optional skipping of filetypes/filenames.
• Optional stats in the statusline.
• Works out of the box, but allows fine-grained configuration.
• Great documentation and handsome maintainers!

If git is the only version control system you use, I suggest having a look at vim-gitgutter.
