    Research this setting: `SCM: Diff Decorations`. – Mark Sep 08 '21 at 07:09

    @Mark thanks for the answer! That's true, it's only needed to set "scm.diffDecorations" in Visual Studio Code settings from "all" to "gutter". Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43969277/how-can-you-disable-gutter-indicators-in-vs-code And useful documentation about the meaning of colors for gutter indicators in Visual Studio Code is here: https://vscode-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/editor/versioncontrol/#gutter-indicators – Luis Angel Rodríguez Sep 08 '21 at 19:49
  • In addition to that, it's important to restart the editor to apply changes, and Diff Decorations only apply to folders that only are git repositories. – Luis Angel Rodríguez Sep 08 '21 at 20:23

Answering my own question, it's only needed to set "scm.diffDecorations" in Visual Studio Code settings from "all" to "gutter". Reference: How can you disable Gutter Indicators in VS Code?

And useful documentation about the meaning of colors for gutter indicators in Visual Studio Code is here: https://vscode-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/editor/versioncontrol/#gutter-indicators

Since Local History was added in March, the settings for the SCM gutter decorations changed a tad bit. Bellow shows what the new decorations look like.

enter image description here

    /** @file "settings.json" */

    {
        "scm.diffDecorationsGutterAction": "diff",
        "scm.diffDecorationsGutterVisibility": "always",
        "scm.diffDecorationsGutterWidth": 4,
        "scm.diffDecorationsGutterPattern": {
            "added": true,
            "modified": true
        },
    }
