Show Diff Lines From A Commit/Id

[umitkablan]

Thanks for the very useful/VCS agnostic plugin.

Do you have plans to show diff from a buffer-local-determined commit-ID? I am aware that plugin has many different VCS support but this commit ID might mean different concepts for each.

Best Regards,

Sorry, we have no plans to add an extra feature like that for the very reason you mentioned.

Currently we have a single command for each VCS that is used to get the diff. You can change those commands, though. Have a look at :h g:signify_vcs_cmds. Maybe that's good enough for your use case already.

I am currently using
:let g:signify_vcs_cmds={'git': 'git diff --no-color --no-ext-diff -U0 HEAD~1: -- %f'}|:SignifyRefresh
and am very happy with it. It is a great help when working in an unknown code repo to get an impression where people are currently working.
