How to show git author name in Sublime Text editor?

Question

I'm using GitGutter with Sublime Text editor.

With this plug-in Git > This file > blame will open a new tab with annontations.

Is there any way to show the Git annotations in the same edit window probably just before the line number

Answer 1

Ok a couple things here.

First off, The git blame feature is not a part of my GitGutter plugin, it is a part of the Git plugin.

Secondly, @skuroda is correct that you can only put an icon in the gutter.

What you can do to simulate this tho: is use the split pane View > Layout > Columns: 2 and put the git blame on the left pane and the actual file on the right pane. You will want to turn off word wrap View > Word Wrap

Here is a screen shot:

Then your only problem is to keep the 2 views in sync when you scroll. I haven't tested it but it looks like this sublime plugin might do that: glue views
