Git is a distributed version control system.
To use git from Vim, 3 packages are available:
- git-vim (included with Vim 7.1 and later). Provides ftplugin and syntax files for editing various git files (e.g. commit messages).
- fastgit.vim.
- VCScommand plugin that needs to be installed separately. This provides commands to interact with git. Help text is provided.
Git supports using vim diff to resolve merge conflicts
git mergetool -t vimdiff
To make it the default merge tool across all your repos
git config --global merge.tool vimdiff
