When you make a change to a file tracked by git, the diff markers should appear automatically after a short delay. The delay is governed by vim's `updatetime` option; the default value is `4000`, i.e. 4 seconds, but I suggest reducing it to around 100ms (add `set updatetime=100` to your vimrc). Note `updatetime` also controls the delay before vim writes its swap file (see `:help updatetime`).
The `signcolumn` option can have any value except `'off'`.
