SVN Gutter

#1

You probably know the plugin “GitGutter”. I am using it too, it is really great. But sometimes, I also use SVN. However, I didn’t find a SVNGutter plugin, which should work similar to GitGutter. I am familiar with programming, but I have not yet programmed any Sublime plugins, so I would like to ask

a) whether it should be technically possible to write an “SVNGutter” plugin,
b) where should I start if I would like to do such a plugin,
c) if somebody wants to collaborate or help.

The plugin should work cross-platform (Windows and Linux at least). Any ideas?

I already managed to write a SVN Diff plugin. It is a horrible piece of code, copied together from various sources, but it works, it allows me to hit a keyboard shortcut and then displays the SVN Diff in a “scratch panel”. Maybe this could be a starting point for such a gutter plugin?

Never tried it for SVN, but this one should works and is very similar to GitGutter.

thanks @tridungpham, I didn’t find that. It works perfectly for me!
I would like to understand how it works. Because on my Windows machine, it needs “diff” to be installed (even though svn and Git both have their own diff tool).

Could somebody give me a hint how that plugin works? I would like to do some minor modifications.
For instance I want to make the gutter icons visible in the minimap.
