A Vim plugin that visualizes Vim's undo history as a tree graph in a side panel, letting users browse and switch between undo branches. It is written purely in Vim script with no external dependencies and never writes to disk.

Use cases

  • visualize vim undo history as a tree
  • switch between undo branches in vim
  • recover edits that were overwritten by later changes
  • browse persistent undo history across sessions
  • toggle an undo tree panel with a hotkey

When to choose

  • you use Vim or Neovim and want a graphical view of undo branches
  • you frequently undo past branch points and need to navigate divergent edit history
  • you want a dependency-free Vim script plugin

When to avoid

  • you use an editor other than Vim/Neovim
  • you only need simple linear undo/redo
  • you prefer built-in :undo commands without a visual panel
