GitGutter for Sublime Makes Diffs Easy

At Crowd Favorite we use git for everything, which is a nice change from my old workflow of hoping for the best. 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’s very straight forward: when you add, change, or delete a line, it will put small icons in the gutter of your file, with the line numbers, to make it easier for your to spot where you made modifications. It doesn’t seem like much, but I definitely miss it when I’m using a different editor or machine. Check it out!
