How do you turn off the bar on the left of Visual Studio indicating changes?

This thing... when you click it, it shows you changes you've made, and I hate it! I accidentally clicked on it SOOOO many times when I'm just trying to select a whole line. I don't even know what the feature is called.


Solution

  • It's called the "Difference overview margin"
