How do I disable username annotations in PyCharm

Question

I'm not sure if it was an update or I enabled a setting but I am seeing my code annotated with git blame usernames inline with the code.

The git blame action says it is turned off.

When I click on the username the column with the line numbers expands and shows the timestamps.

How to I disable the usernames from appearing?

After Clicking

I had the same problem. Solved it by right-clicking the line number column. There's an option in the menu to turn off code change information. I don't remember the exact menu option name because I don't know how to turn it back on to check.

Thanks, I emailed JetBrains, here's their reply: You can disable code author hints in Preferences | Editor | Inlay Hints or you can right-click on the inlay hint and configure from the context menu. – Shawn Northrop Aug 01 '22 at 22:37
Shawn I suggest you post your comment as answer and accept it. And thanks for the solution! – Alp Nov 01 '22 at 13:21
The option appears after right clicking the line without number besides the code author annotation and the option says "Hide `Code Vision: Code` author Inlay Hints". – Andres Felipe Nov 26 '22 at 23:09

This can be solved by navigating to Preferences > Editor > Inlay Hints and then within Code vision they have an option (enabled by default for me) for Code author. Just disable this and it goes away.

Had same issue, found your topic, and realized that it is possible to hide annotations by clicking username once again (your first screenshot)

Right-clicking the author is tricky because it sometimes activates the blame (as in left click)

My quick solution: Shift-shift and write "inlay" - you will get the toggle. Need to go to another tab a back to get it actually disappear

Right-click any line number. Then uncheck Annotate with Git Blame

Counter-intuitively, you cannot right-click the annotation itself (the part you want to disappear). You have to right-click the line number. Or right-click the line of code and the same option is buried in the Git submenu.

_{Credit for this answer goes to @SimonQue. But since his answer did not name the right-click option ("turn off code change information" is not very helpful because it is very different from "Annotate with Git Blame"), or provide a picture, or point out that the solution is counter-intuitive and so must be memorized (you can't right-click the thing you want to disappear; you have to right-click a thing next to it), I thought that editing his answer would rewrite it completely. So I wrote a new answer. This appears to displease some people, ah well.}
