Description
If you make changes to a CF template then view differences in VS code via the git diff view then a memory leak occurs. The problem disappears if the linter extension is disabled.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the leak with the listed VS Code, CloudFormation, and CloudFormation Linter versions on Windows, comparing Git Diff with the linter extension enabled and disabled. Trace the interaction between the extension and Git Diff, then verify that opening the view after editing a CF template no longer causes memory growth.
