Are you aware that spf13 has not been maintained for years?

Looks like the git-gutter plugin. If you don't like it, do not load the
plugin (however this is done in spf13).

BTW: In general it is considered good practice to start with a scratch
vimrc configuration file and only add whatever you need. If you have a
need for a special plugin, install it from the maintainer directly, so
you can get support from him if something is not working as expected.

Those Vim distributions (spf13, SpaceVim, Janus) just add another
complexity layer on top of Vim and often force you to use maps and
commands that might be unintuitive (or even hide some of Vims native
commands). So don't follow that route.
