'Git Commits view not showing in VSCode Source Control panel
Problem:
When I open the Source Control panel in VScode, normally I am able to see any diffs and at the bottom of the panel I can open/close various tabs such as Commits, Branches, Remotes etc. These tabs have all disappeared for a specific repo.
Here is how it should look:
- The tabs are available at the bottom of the panel
- I am able to select/unselect which tabs to show from the three dot menu
However, they are not showing on this specific repo. Here's how it looks on the repo in question:
- I can't see the tabs at the bottom of the panel
- I am unable to show/hide them from the three dot menu
Notes:
- I have checked VScode settings and both the user and workspace settings are exactly the same
- A git repo exists in this directory (the tabs used to show fine)
- I do not want to do this from the command line

For me the issue was I hadn't setup the extension properly, go to the extension's page -> Settings -> Get Started -> Open Quick Setup -> Views -> Source Control Layout

Not sure, but 1) check your remote repositories to ensure they look normal. 2) Have any extensions changed recently (GitLens, Git History, etc.), or 3) Maybe the .git directory got moved/hosed somehow???

It was down to not having Gitlens enabled in the workspace ?
