I use this mainly for "Git: Diff Current File". It's much easier to see in Sublime than Terminal for me.

You seems to be on Mac OSX, if that is the case, try out the file merger that comes with XCode, it's pretty awesome for doing both diffs and merges. Screenshots of the software: http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/FileMerge-fil... http://anoved.net/images/filemerge/filemerge.png http://www.defraine.net/~brunod/fmdiff/filemerge.gif

I've always meant to check that out but always forget. Thanks for reminding me about that, I'll take a look now.

I think I'm being dim but I don't understand what this is. Does it prompt me for a commit message when I save code, with like a special CMD-Shift-S to push or something, or is it just using sublime as a GUI for git?

This is based on my experiences with Magit, so maybe this doesn't work quite the same with SublimeGit, but the thing I find most useful is the ability to select exactly which lines to stage in a commit. You can do this on the command-line with git add -p, but it's much easier and much more natural to do it in the text editor itself. Once you get used to doing this, it's hard to imagine going back.

Looks good, I'll give it a try, but I have to mention this plugin as it deserves all the praise it can get!: https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter http://www.jisaacks.com/gitgutter

I've always found this plugin slow which is a shame. It's nice to visually see the changes made to a file.

How it differs from magit or fugitive except price? I've tried magit and fugitive for some time, but as for me, adding this plugins to workflow just complicates tasks related to VCS. At the time of this writing, whichever editor/IDE I use, my VCS stay in command line.

You probably don't realize how much this slows you down.
