Might be not really a bug though,..
If I try adding bookmark in the same line where Gutter highlights, there would be no response of bookmarks. I suppose the space at a line start can only hold one icon. While there are two, they just conflct.
Then there's a problem: I can't tell from the line wether there's a bookmark, that's annoying.

I edit all of my files via a local installation of Sublime 2 over a GVFS mounted SSH share on a remote server. When this plugin is installed, all file editing slows to a crawl, and the UI of Sublime locks up for 30-60 seconds at a time. This is not a slow SSH connection.

I suspect this is partly related to Sublime 2 having various blocking issues (for example, I also suffer from a painfully blocked UI when I am saving a large file), but is painfully noticed with this plugin.

To reproduce you need to "save file with encoding".
Tested with ST2/ST3 on win7 64.

The reason for this is that view.encoding() returns "human readable" name of encoding, I think. Valid encoding names you can see here http://docs.python.org/2/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings

I get an error on all my git repositories. ViewCollection has no attribute 'git_files', or ViewCollection has no attribute 'git_tmp_file'

Any idea?

Thanks

When loading ST3.
I've installed trough git clone, not package control. With package control the plugin has issues with decoding the graphics.

One of Sublime Text 3's main features is asynchronous plugins. In addition, one doesn't need Git diff changes immediately after modifying the file, so why isn't non_blocking set to true by default?

After installing GitGutter I've noticed that the undo feature breaks normal behavior.

If I write some text and try to undo it, instead of removing the whole text it removes one letter at a time.

To reproduce:
Write some text
Hit undo.
Notice behavior.
Install GitGutter
Write some text
Hit undo.
Notice the different behavior

This was tested on a Mac.

I'm getting this for all the icons

Unable to decode Packages/Theme - Default/../GitGutter/icons/inserted.png

Which was referenced here #37 (comment) and said to be fixed in pull request #40

GitGutter is installed in Installed Packages/GitGutter.sublime-package by Package Control not in Packages

Sublime Text 3 - Build 3012
GitGutter - 2012.02.21.22.04.01

I use git.exe from Cygwin which handler path in UNIX style. So in order to make it work, GitGutter need convert the path into Windows style.

Here it's an example to show how to handle the path.

But unfortunately I don't know where to put the codes into the GitGutter, I hope you can use this to solve the problem.

The fix to the undo problem was to set a timeout for it to run a short period of time after a modification instead of instantly.

This time delay causes a flicker when added or removing lines.

This flicker is bothering me.

Hello

I try to install Your package through git clone ...
And when Sublime starts I see in the console the following text

I noticed that last commit aebe451 updates git_gutter_handler.py. I checkout to previous commit and it works well for me: the package loads and changes are shown. It seems that something is wrong in last commit.

If some more details about system and versions are needed please inform me.

Thanks

It would be awesome if you could add some notes to the README for why you would want to use this rather than Modific

It's always helpful to see recognition for other similar packages ... and the reason behind making new packages that are similar to existing ones.

Thanks!

I can not get the + icon to change color even after updating the theme. I can faintly see the + but trying to change the color to #FFFFFF yields no result.

Here is my .tmTheme

Any thoughts?

Feature request.

Would be very helpful to see the original code (before the modification) when hovering over the relevant change icon in the gutter. Eclipse Git plugin does this very well, where it overlays the original change over the current change, so you can see it inline with the rest of the code. This could be a setting, specifying where/how the data is displayed.

After initial install, I restarted Sublime Text 2 and was greeted with this pop up error.

Error trying to parse file: No data in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/SideBarEnhancements/Default (OSX).sublime-keymap:1:1

Any time that changes are added which "spill over" a line into an existing line causes a line of new code or deleted code to become treated in an "Edited" line.

Granted, the presence of a dynamic marker that points out that changes are there is invaluable (and is what makes this plugin indispensable), but I am certain that the algorithm for determining the marker type could use some work.

As it is now, almost all changes end up showing up as the square, and it isn't really intuitively indicative of what's changed.

For example, if I have a Javascript array or hash with a list of functions inside it, and as part of the current session of work I insert 300 lines of new code into the collection of functions at the bottom of it, it is a certainty that the entire 300 lines of additional code will be marked as "Edited" with the square rather than "Added" marked with the plus marker.

The reason for this seems to be that GitGutter recognizes that (for instance) the last item has had a comma appended to it, and then the region following that of 300 lines of new code is somehow also grouped together into this "Edit".

If I instead put the comma on a new line, and my new changes after that, then they all show up green because the diff has ascertained that there are no "edited" line groups in that region.

Yeah, okay, I edited that one line and then added 300 more lines. I should at most see one square markers and 300 plus markers. I shouldn't have to make nasty formatting changes to gain that insight, and I think it's more correct anyways to have it display the square for that one line where I inserted that comma.

I think the fix is probably pretty simple. I hope it is.

I tried to tweak the code in order to make it compatible with Windows.

I found 3 blocking issues on Windows :

1. temporary files are actually open when you get them from NamedTemporaryFile so opening them a second throws an exception
2. Git & Diff commands display a command prompt when running
3. The git show command does not accept the initial /

The availability of the git & diff command could also be an issue but a good Git/Cygwin configuration can get you that.

https://github.com/genezys/GitGutter/commit/0d6adb36af28b2097547d0b747879f335fef2470

This code is not yet tested on Mac OS X or Linux as I have not access to these platforms right now.

Every line in the file is marked as new.

It does work for me on 643fc48, but at that commit I need to fix up files to get it to look right.

I was trying to get the new retina icons (which are fixed in latest)... But I want live mode back.

It does update if I switch to a different buffer/file and come back, but that's not good enough!

I regularly work on network files over VPN. This means that the connection isn't great and I noticed GitGutter slows down SublimeText3 considerably then, even though it's in non_blocking mode.

I like git-gutter, but it doesn't seem to work with org-mode for me.

GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.1) of 2013-03-01 on melissa

If you need more information to reproduce this problem, plese feel free to ask!

I currently just see a block of color in my gutter, not the icons, when a change is made to a line.

I've tried disabling other plugins that make use of the gutter (bracketer, change tracker) and restarting Sublime Text, but I still do not see the icons, just an orange-scanline box (image attached).

If you change encoding for file in sublime text config, when all line with non-ascii characters are marked as modified

I fix with with this code

    # get encoding and clean it for python ex: "Western (ISO 8859-1)"
    pattern = re.compile(r'.+\((.*)\)')
    encoding = self.view.encoding()

    if pattern.match(encoding):
        encoding = pattern.sub(r'\1', self.view.encoding())

    # Try conversion
try:
        contents = self.view.substr(region).encode(encoding.replace(' ', ''))
        break
except UnicodeError:
            # Fallback to utf8-encoding
    contents = self.view.substr(region).encode('utf-8')

instead of
contents = self.view.substr(region).encode('utf-8')

In function update_buf_file in git_gutter_handler.py

As you can see the icon in the gutter is very weird. This worked in the ST3 build prior to 3019.

Hi, thanks for GitGutter, I'm impressed with how responsive it is.

There's an issue with the diffs on my machine where new lines show up as changed if an adjacent line is also changed.

For example, if I insert to lines with no other changes, then things look right (I need to tweak the colour):

http://d.pr/mZKy

But then if I change an adjacent line, those new ones are also shown as 'changed':

http://d.pr/sAea

It looks the the icon might be corrupt?

The add line icon shows up great, the diff color settings are in my theme file… any other data I can provide?

The installation document should mention that GitGutter only works on Windows system if the PATH environment variable contains ..\Git\cmd (which contains git.exe) and ..\Git\bin (containing diff.exe) folder.
Since the Git installer for windows does not automatically add both paths, the ..\Git\bin has to be added manually to the PATH environment variable in order to get GitGutter working.

Is it possible to add green/yellow/red highlights of the diff lines to the Sublime Text mini map? This would make it much easier to see where changes in the file are and scroll to them quickly.

I've just installed this (and restarted Sublime – not usually necessary) but it doesn't display anything. I'm definitely in a Git repo, I'm working in my project folder for this: https://github.com/ashmoran/language_implementation_patterns

I don't know how to debug the problem, can anybody help?

The icons are not showing up on cloned views, they appear in the original view but not the cloned view.

https://github.com/tmanderson/VintageLines

With both installed, GitGutter doesn't show up.

Smudge/clean filters are not applied by git show which causes GitGutter to detect ghost-changes.

On my console I have the following errors:

Hi,

After installing the package GitGutter through package control, the icons appear like in the image. All lines appear as modified status and don't change to any other status if I modify the file.

(I restarted sublime, I reinstalled the package and tried git clone, but everything stayed the same)

On OSX using Homebrew my git location is /usr/local/bin/git. it's in my actual bash path, and in my .bashrc that path is set correctly, but when python runs bash it doesn't seem to pick up anything set in my custom path.

In a different plugin it complains out loud about not being able to find git.

I couldn't figure out why this plugin wasn't working till I installed a different plugin that also couldn't find git

morning,

im using the Theme Nexus
https://github.com/EleazarCrusader/nexus-theme

but the icon color on left side not shown.
All icons are grey.

What can i do that the icons colored ?

Sven

Current version does not seem to work with Sublime Text 3.
Any chance you can upgrade it to work with the new version?

Sublime Text 3 is out in beta! Support for ST3 would be great... I don't know if this is a big issue, but converting to python 3 would do the trick I suppose.

Cheers

On Win7 I get the following error reported in the console:

The file gets created, but the plugin seem to have a problem writing to it...

"Everyone" has full control over the temp-directory, so it should be a permission-issue.

I have observed the same behaviour on three different Win7 PCs.

It display icons on Insert mode, but not command mode.

Feature request.

Would be great to have a little feedback on what type of changes have you made to each file, examples:

or

Icons need 2x version for retina displays. If detection isn't possible, could be turned on via settings.

All files ignored by git is marked with +

It would be cool to have keyboard shortcuts to go to next/previous hunk of modifications.

I have absolutely no idea how to do it and even if this is possible with the SublimeText API.

on ubuntu 12.10 with sublime 2.01, when adding a new file, e.g., new.txt, to a folder that is part of a git repo, i am seeing this error output to my shell after every edit:

fatal: Path 'new.txt' does not exist in 'HEAD'

I followed the installation procedure but Git Gutter does not work. I'm on OSX and I've tried different themes.

The problem is in Packages/Git Gutter/git_gutter.py
The paths for the icons use GitGutter as part of the path, but the package is installed in Git Gutter by the Package Manager.

Showing changes in a gutter is a great idea, and I think if it would be possible to stage changes by clicking on gutter icons would be even greater.

SideBarGit is too much an overkill for my taste, I want something more like git gui to interactively select what I want to commit and then do it.

What do you think?
