See Addition and Deletion Counts in Git Panel

The git panel now displays diff statistics for each modified file, showing you exactly how many lines were added and removed without opening the file.

How to Enable

1. Open Settings (Cmd-, on macOS)
2. Search for git_panel
3. Find the diff_stats option and enable it
4. Addition and deletion counts appear next to each file in the git panel

The counts are shown as colored numbers: green for additions, red for deletions.

Why This Matters

Quick assessment: Gauge the scope of changes at a glance.

Review planning: Prioritize which files to review based on change size.

Spot outliers: Identify unexpectedly large changes that might need extra attention.

Context awareness: Understand the impact of commits before viewing detailed diffs.

Configuration

Add to your settings.json:

{
  "git_panel": {
    "diff_stats": true
  }
}

The setting is disabled by default to keep the git panel minimal, but enabling it provides valuable context for code review and commit planning.
