On: Y U NO commit??

[asgard1024]

I think HN would do well with having a single sentence abstract on article submissions, because I have no idea what is this about.

It's a vim plugin that prompts you to commit your changes after saving a file `n` number of times (20 by default).

I suspect this gets bumped up more for meme-compliance than novelty. I rather like the SublimeText plugin, gitgutters[1].

But it in any case, I'm a fan of VCS integration in my editor.

GitGutter is available for vim as well.

I thought it was fairly straightforward - it displays a message to the user if they haven't created a git commit after x number of writes to disk (i.e. saves). This is to try and stop commits from becoming huge I guess.

Reading the readme tells the purpose of this:

> "Set the number of writes without committing before the message is shown"

So after N number of writes to a file, it warns you that you haven't committed.

But I agree, the title of the submission is kind of non-descriptive.

The VIM plugin shows a funny image when too much time passed since the last git commit. The plugin got created 6 hours ago by the submitter.

[ygra → mtmail]

From the source I'd say it only displays the message, not an image.
