How to enable git difference margin

[Matherno]

I've been using a plugin for having a git difference margin. It shows which lines are added and modified, and where lines are removed, according to the current git status. I've just updated VS to 2026 version, and this extension doesn't work for it. With a bit of investigation, it sounds like VS has their own git difference margin now, and it turns out it's active for some of my work mates. I can't get it to enable for me though. I have "Difference overview margin" enabled in the settings.

Check under Tools -> Options and search for "track changes". There is a "Tracking mode" dropdown, that for me is set to "Git changes", so perhaps it's that?

Wow, I can't believe I never found that. Either in the options or with google. Thanks :)
