description

This plugin finds and highlights word or character based changed/added/deleted diff units in a diff format, to make it possible to see the actual differences within a line. This plugin not only works as an additional vim syntax for diff format but also applies the intra-line diff unit highlighting on some popular git-related plugins. For details and demo samples, please visit the following git repository: https://github.com/rickhowe/diffunitsyntax.
