I'm really impressed with this -- I would love to see this see functionality for other VCSes (subversion, etc) so that I could use it with my non-git projects. The vimscript looks pretty clean -- maybe I have a new weekend project ahead of me. edit: just a quick hack for a "vim svn gutter": https://github.com/prg318/vim-gitgutter The code is really clean and it would be fairly trivial to adopt this for use with any o…

svndiff (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1881) works with SVN, Git and others.

Both sign-diff (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2712) and changesPlugin (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3052) are VCS-agnostic: they show differences between the saved state and the current state.

Eclipse pretty much does this out of the box. I guess so do IntelliJ and Visual Studio. You can also display the name of the last person to change a line in the same position (ie. svn/git blame), which is very useful to quickly find out who to talk to regarding a section of a file. The commit message is displayed on mouseover.

Yes, IntelliJ handles this pretty nicely. For modified lines, you can mouse over to see what you changed. For all changes, you can click a context menu to revert any given change. (Of course, that does require touching a mouse... though I believe you can set up a key mapping for it.)

Netbeans has the same functionality, so I guess it's something that has become "standard" in most IDEs

Obligatory Emacs version: https://github.com/syohex/emacs-git-gutter

Use https://github.com/syohex/emacs-git-gutter-fringe if you want the symbols in the fringe.

But sadly the Emacs mode calls git synchronously which can lead to a significant slow down when switching buffers. I hope that gets fixed.

Shift+F10 opens the right click menu in most contexts.

And before anyone asks, you can easily access the menu contents with the keyboard.

If you like gitgutter and you are a fan of textobj plugins you might also find this useful:

I've also got a similar plugin https://bitbucket.org/sirpengi/iwilldiffer that works with hg as well as git. Mine uses python though, nice to see an implementation that's all in viml. Neither of our plugins are async though (so vim ui will block while the diff is running), which is the biggest hurdle I want to cross.

This is fantastic. Thank you.

Ugh, someone submitted the original Sublime version to hackers news 2 months go http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5027308 and it got no love. It just makes sense that someone would port it and become the #1 story.

Maybe because there are more vim users than sublime users on hn? FWIW i did see that story on front-page of hn and it's what prompted me to immediately write my vim-port. I finished it like a few days after that.

There is another implementation, it's a bit faster and well documented :)

And there is more customisable as well

This is really nice, but I wish the background color of the gutter would automatically match the rest of my background. The gray band [1] is pretty unappealing IMO. Also noteworthy is that that the gutter only updates when the file is saved. [1] Screenshot: http://imgur.com/TIGKVRS

What colorscheme? Is it just not changing the default colors for the SignColumn group?

Any way to bind "toggle the gutter" so I can press my "set nonumber" button and have it toggle the gutter as well? [edit] Apparently I didn't read down far enough! This functionality exists already through the plugin. This works for me: nnoremap :set nonumber! ToggleGitGutter
