Overview

This plugin adds commands which diff the current buffer against the file it was loaded from, either the state on disk or the state in version control (similar to vimdiff except without requiring writing the buffer state to disk).

Installation

This plugin can be installed as a standard Vim package (see :help packages). Simply clone this repository into ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-diff-changes to install the Vim files for this plugin.

Commands

:DiffAgainstFilesystem

Opens a diff window which diffs the buffer contents against the contents of the file on disk. Use :DiffStop to close the diff window.

:DiffAgainstVCS

Opens a diff window which diffs the buffer contents against the contents of the file in the most recent commit in version control. Use :DiffStop to close the diff window. Supports git, svn, darcs, and cvs.

:DiffStop

Closes an active diff window.
