GitGutter isn't working on OSX Sublime Text 3

[gespinha]

Hi there,

I have installed and reinstalled various times GitGutter and it still doesn't work. I have tried verifying if I am using git and it is on. What should I do to diagnose my problem?

Thanks

SublimeFixMacPath fixed this issue for me too. I'm on st3, and simply installed it from package control. It's a single python script that ensures your $PATH is available to Sublime, so it can find non-system binaries (eg homebrew packages).

add this comment to sublime setting preference :

"git_binary": "", "compare_against": "HEAD", "live_mode": true, "focus_change_mode": true, "non_blocking": true,

I just ran into another issue where GitGutter seemingly stopped working. If you update Xcode and have not agreed to the license agreements GitGutter will stop working.

You have not agreed to the Xcode license agreements. You must agree to both license agreements below in order to use Xcode.
Hit the Enter key to view the license agreements at '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/License.rtf'

Once I opened Xcode and agreed to the terms, GitGutter worked again.

GitGutter stopped working for me after I upgraded to El Capitan - installing the XCode command line tools with xcode-select --install got it working again.

Updated Xcode, xcode-select --install, restarted sublime. Removed and Installed GitGutter.... Still won't work.

I'm running El Capitan

Removed and Installed GitGutter.... Still won't work.

@rafaelcgo Have you followed suggestion in the Readme to try SublimeFixMacPath?

Eventually just manually setting git_binary to point to git binary.

[rafaelcgo]

@rchl Tried both with no success. Is there a way to check if GitGutter is finding git_binary, maybe via sublime console?

I try the git gutter commands but no output is written on the console...

[rchl]

@rafaelcgo If it couldn't find the binary then actually it should show a error dialog. So I guess that part might be working.

Try: a) Restart sublime and open the console. Make sure that there are no errors related to gitgutter (you can paste here if you want). b) Make sure that git gutter package is not disabled (Package Control: Disable Packages should list it). c) Make sure that you are trying it out on a file that is tracked by git.

@rchl Thanks for the patience... Still not working. It used to work but I think the update crashed it somehow.

@rafaelcgo that looks quite tricky to figure out. One last thing you should check is whether you get any error in the console on invoke one of 'Git Gutter: Compare Against... commands. These commands don't catch exceptions like the main functionality, so it might show the problem.

If not, I don't think I have any more suggestions. Would probably need to debug by adding some debugging code...

[rafaelcgo]

@rchl No output. The only GitGutter command that has any output is Show Comparing Against which displays ' on a modal box "GitGutter is comparing against: HEAD"

:(

[rafaelcgo]

@rchl It's working again. Don't have a clue what happened, but after an OS restart GitGutter has come back to life.

I close this issue

• the original reason for this issue is quite old and out dated
• later parts of the discussion target SublimeFixMacPath as solution which is part of the trouble shooting section now.

@rajankur Adding it to ignore package, restart sublime and remove it from ignore package also works for me.
