Eclipse: showing git changes

I had a nice feature in eclipse when I first installed it. Once a file is added to git and changes are committed, any new changes to that file would show in gray color in eclipse. I could hover over on the left of the changed line and eclipse would show me the changes I have made there. I find it very useful and use it quite often. More importantly I can see all the changes at a glance in a file. Suddenly this feature is gone from the eclipse after doing some random settings change. Now I can't turn on the feature again. If anyone has any idea how to get the feature back would be nice.

Right-click the left ruler and enable Show Quick Diff (Ctrl+Shift+Q).

This shows changes as you described by default since the last save. To show changes since the last Git commit instead, change the preferences in General > Editors > Text Editors > Quick Diff.

For Git blame right-click the left ruler and choose Show Revision Information which cannot be enabled by default.
