GitGutter for Sublime Makes Diffs Easy

I’ve learned quite a bit about git and Github since starting and have looked for tools to help me do things better. A really simple, but super helpful, tool is the GitGutter package for Sublime (thanks Dave!)

It doesn’t seem like much, but I definitely miss it when I’m using a different editor or machine. Check it out!

    Castos is a fantastic WordPress-centric podcast hosting platform that I’ve been recommending in my courses and coaching calls.
