@MrCroft - Insiders is like the latest bleeding edge with their current testing features in it. I think they put their own version of what this Gist does, git status file highlighting. So that may be why it isn't working on Insiders, they messed with the file tree area, which is what this relies on.

Hopefully they get the Git status file highlighting done, without botching it up too bad. All they have to do is look at Atom, it does a pretty good job out of the box with this feature.

I can't support Insiders. This will do for regular versions until they break it, or roll out their own officially. Then this gist wouldn't be needed anymore. So keep an eye on the change logs.

Note: Every time your VSC updates and restarts after the update, you must re-apply this fix.

Awesome. It works on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit. 🚀
