You can also find indicators of the status of your repository in the bottom-left corner of VS Code: the current branch, dirty indicators, and the number of incoming and outgoing commits of the current branch. Note that for unstaged changes, the editor on the right still lets you edit the file: feel free to use it! Selecting the icon will show you the details of your current repository changes: CHANGES, STAGED CHANGES and MERGE CHANGES.Ĭlicking each item will show you in detail the textual changes within each file. The Source Control icon in the Activity Bar on the left will always indicate an overview of how many changes you currently have in your repository. VS Code will use your machine's Git installation (at least version 2.0.0), so you need to install Git first before you get these features. The VS Code documentation assumes you are already familiar with Git. Just getting started with Git? The git-scm website is a good place to start, with a popular online book, Getting Started videos and cheat sheets. Many other source control providers are available through extensions on the VS Code Marketplace. Visual Studio Code has integrated source control management (SCM) and includes Git support out-of-the-box.
