I like the idea of version control markings in the Emacs fringe, so trying git-gitter-fringe package. There's four similarly named packages though - any recommendations?
Cool idea, though I have no experience here!
Turns out I can only use git-gutter and git-gutter-fringe, since I'm on Emacs 24.3, not git-gutter+ or git-gutter-fringe+.
Of the two I can use, git-gutter-fringe seems to be the best option since it doesn't take up an extra column in graphical Emacs. It requires git-gutter.
(require 'git-gutter-fringe)
(global-git-gutter-mode +1)
I gather that git-gutter+ and git-gutter-fringe+ add more functionality for staging and and committing directly from the buffer. That's not something I desperately want; I just like the idea of seeing changed lines as I type.
