Displaying uncommitted changes to file in editor pane

RStudio IDE
,
1

Many IDEs show changes to a file in the editor itself. Commonly (Atom, VS code, Pycharm) this is in the sidebar, showing the lines of a file that have been changed.

For instance (VS code):

44
44914×566 48.5 KB

Addition to file signified by green section in the sidebar

Is it possible to enable this feature or something equivalent in RStudio?

Thanks

Clicking on the highlighted section indicated what the exact change was

Dear torvaney,

have you come across a plugin or way of displaying such code changes? I would very much like to have this option too...

Best regards
Michael

Not yet. I think it might be worth checking/putting in a feature request on the RStudio github.

I submitted a feature request here: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/2846

Give it a thumbs up or a comment if it's something you'd like to see or if you have anything to add.
