---

_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**, **yadm**.

- **Asynchronous** execution of VCS tools for Vim 8.0.902+ 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.

- **Preview** changes in the current line in a popup window.

- Show all changes in **diff mode**.

- 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**!

## Installation

The `master` branch is async-only and thus requires at least Vim 8.0.902. Use

the `legacy` tag for older Vim versions.

Using your favorite [plugin

manager](https://github.com/mhinz/vim-galore#managing-plugins), e.g.

[vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):

```vim

if has('nvim') || has('patch-8.0.902')

  Plug 'mhinz/vim-signify'

else

  Plug 'mhinz/vim-signify', { 'tag': 'legacy' }

endif

```

## Configuration for async update

```vim

" default updatetime 4000ms is not good for async update

set updatetime=100

```
