 * Your git config is compatible with the version of git which your Vim is calling (`:echo system('git --version')`).
 * Your Vim supports signs (`:echo has('signs')` should give `1`).
 * Your file is being tracked by git and has unstaged, saved changes.
-* If you use a non-POSIX shell, add `set shell=/bin/bash` to your `~/.vimrc`.
 * If your grep does not support the `color` flag, add `let g:gitgutter_grep_command = 'grep -e'` to your `~/.vimrc`.
