I did some hacking on my fork on git-vim. I am impressed how well things work. motemen, the upstream author, did a really great job setting things up.

I’ve been mostly tyoing with command handling and completion this evening. I want to make that I could type :git diff ma<tab> and have it do the rigth thing… it seems to work.

Next, I need to integrate my other git hacks and also others that seem interesting. I should also see if I can get the upstream author to consider including any of it.

I have had an item on my todo list to improve my [vim/git]{tag/vimgit} integration for a while. Today, I found git-vim on github. I was really impressed. So I forked it and hope to do some work on the project…

First I will have to check if there is anything salvageable from my current vim scripts.

I released version 2 of my gitdiff.vba vim script.

It now supports two features:

• :GITDiff [commitish]

  Split the vim window vertically, display the HEAD, or some other changeset, version of the file in the split, then diff them.

• :GITChanges [commitish]

  Highlight lines that were changed since the HEAD or some other changeset.

I also started using the VimBall script, which is a package format for vim scripts. So to install it, you need to first have the vimball extension. Further, if you have the GetLatestVimScripts you can use the :GLVS commands to automatically upgrade your packages.

Taking a TODO item off my list, I am adding a plugin to vim that splits the current window and presents a diff between the current file and any revision of that file in the current git repository.
