GitGutter
GitGutter is a Git diff visualization tool and plugin for the Sublime Text editor. It interfaces with the Git binary to provide real-time tracking of modified and untracked files, visualizing version control status directly within the editor gutter to mark inserted, modified, or deleted lines.
The tool enables navigation between modified code hunks and the inspection of commit metadata via hover popups. It allows users to define specific branches, tags, or commits as reference points for calculating changes and provides the ability to revert modified hunks or copy original committed text to the clipboard.
The project covers a broader range of capabilities including inline diff visualization, git metadata inspection, and code revision management. Users can customize the visual theme of gutter markers and configure the Git environment and binary paths.
