I've always found this plugin slow which is a shame. It's nice to visually see the changes made to a file.

If you are using ST3 you can use non blocking mode and GitGutter will run in a seperate thread.

EDIT: Here is the section on the read me about it: https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter#non-blocking-mode

Aha! I didn't know about this. You're awesome!

It still ran slowly on my machine. Typed characters were noticeable more sluggish to appear on screen. Just a bit, but noticeable and it was too much. Maybe it didn't work for some reason.

Really?

I've done this with "big" files, as well as large folders and it works perfectly both locally and over a NFS share.

How many LoC are the files you editing?

I used that for quite a while before I discovered Modific (https://github.com/gornostal/Modific). Similar functionality, except you can hit a shortcut and see what was on that line before the change - pretty useful stuff!

hmm, i think i'll try a vim-gitgutter

I suggest this one: https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter

It's quite nice, but I would turn off live updating, as that slowed things down a bit for me. Updating on save works perfectly fine.
