Instead of doing that every 0.5 seconds, why not do it on save of the buffer?

It is because when you are editing the file and havn’t saved the file yet. It will still show you the git diff based upon the buffer changes

It sticks the git gutter to the left end this way. Will see if there is something better that can be done.

Adds inline Git diff rendering in the editor, gated by a new setting and context menu toggle. Shows added/removed lines inline with background cues; supports live updates while typing.
Toggle via editor context menu or programmatically via setShowInlineDiff(true/false).
