How can I remove line annotations behind cursor in Intellij 2019.1?
That isn't an IntellIJ IDEA feature.
You installed the GitToolBox plugin.
This is called Git blame.
You enable it by right-clicking the gutter area (if you configured a valid Git root)
And you disable it in the same way with Close Annotations
The displayed information can be altered using the View sub-menu
All the necessary IDEA examples/explanation can be found here.
For your case, under the Locate code author paragraph.
Newer versions of intellij has a feature called "Inlay Hints". Open preferences
and search for it. Uncheck those you don't want to see:
You have installed GitToolBox third-party plug-in which provides this feature:
Blame inlined in active editor - show blame for line at caret in active editor
Either disable the plug-in or configure its options as shown below:
