If I have some code which is under source control is it possible to see lines which are modified or new in the editor window?

In many IDEs lines which are added/modified/deleted appear with a coloured bar next to them in the margin, perhaps green/blue/red respectively. This seems to be missing from the Matlab editor. Am I missing something?

You can right click the .m file on Matlab's 'Current Folder' view. There under the 'Source Control' you have options to 'Compare to Ancestor' or 'Compare to Revision', which does exactly what you want, just not in the editor window.

I see VScode does code execution now too. Do you find you execute/debug things in Matlab environment and write/source control things in the VScode environment then?

Generally yes. I debug/execute my code in Matlab environment but for version control stuff, commiting things, pull/push, comparison to revisions etc., I generally use VScode.
