I can't find the git icon on VS Code Source Control window and initialize repository option is hidden

Question

On my VS code there is no git icon on the Source Control window. There is initialize repository button but it is hidden. I've added a screenshot also if anyone can help me with the issue.

Answer 1

This might be related to the message below "Initialize Repository"

A valid git installation was not detected, more details can be found in the git output.

So make sure VSCode is launched from a session where git is in the %PATH%/$PATH.
