## Deprecated

[Vim 8.1.0360](https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/e828b7621cf9065a3582be0c4dd1e0e846e335bf) introduce `algorithm:{text}` to `diffopt` and natively supports the following algorithms

- myers (default)

- minimal

- patience

- histogram

So that if you use this plugin to use one of the above algorithm, the plugin is no longer required and use setting like below:

```vim

set diffopt& diffopt+=algorithm:histogram,indent-heuristic

```

See `:help diffopt` for detail.

This plugin is a plugin to use an external diff program which only support

unified-diff in `vimdiff`.

In default, it uses `git diff --histogram` so that installing this plugin

automatically improve your `vimdiff` quality.

For example

![Builtin diff](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lambdalisue/vim-unified-diff/misc/img/builtin_diff.png)

It will be turn into

![Histogram diff](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lambdalisue/vim-unified-diff/misc/img/histogram_diff.png)

by this plugin.

Inspired by http://qiita.com/takaakikasai/items/3d4f8a4867364a46dfa3 and written in pure vimscript.
