Vim Gitgutter

Vim Gitgutter Vim Gitgutter shows a diff in the sign (left-hand) column of your editing window. This is a really cool way to see what portions of a file have changed without resorting to git diff.

Edit:
Droggl asked how to disable vim-gutter when viewing log files because of slowness. I've come up with the following solution which seems like it should work.

Assuming your log files end in *.log, add the following to your ~/.vimrc.

autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPost *.log setlocal filetype=log
filetype plugin on

Then make an entry like so in ~/.vim/ftplugin/log.vim

:GitGutterDisable

Hope that helps!
