At what point will Db status icon change if edit done to underlying file in local Git repo?

in SQL Source Control
Is SQL Source control Git-aware?

So if one has already linked a Db to an underlying Git repo, then:
- switched to a feature branch
- Opened the .sql file directly and updated a table definition
- Saved the change and performed a Git sync

When will we see the "changed" icon display on the Db?  Or will this only change when the edit is done through SSMS?
I tested by also doing a table change via TSQL and it worked, but if I edited the .SQL file in the underlying Git repo, the icon didnt change.  No big deal, just wondering.

    That's correct, the blue change indicators only show when objects in the database have changed since the last time a commit/get-latest operation took place. The change tracking does not do a comparison with the linked version control system - that comparison only happens when you refresh the commit/get-latest tabs.
