I liked having Pull and Push outside.
Now I'm searching whole menu to carefully go inside "Pull, Push" and choose. It's making me crazy.
I'm forcing myself to form habit to use Ctrl + Shift + P and select "Git:Push" now. ๐
Anybody know if there is a setting to get the old Git menu back?

I use the cmd line for any git operation, so I've never seen this menu before.
But I thought I saw on a vscode demo you could drag and drop anything into the left side bar. Remember vscode is highly customizable there's gotta be an option for you.
I'm a religious Vim user, so obviously biased, but my position is and will always be that editor integration of VCS is incredibly nice, but also very dangerous if the developer starts over-relying on it because it can discourage from properly learning to interact with the system.
Of most other devs I usually interact with, many would be surprised that
git diff --stat HEAD@{"2 days ago"}..HEAD, to name one example, is a thing you can do.In general, I think these kinds of tools (same as IDEs, really) are a nice tool for those who know the basics already, but are a danger to those who are just learning as it may hide the underlying system from them, which is what they should really should be trying to understand (The front ends are usually trivial once you understand how the system underneath works)
I think you better get used to the keyboard shortcut.
Command + Shift + P -> type git if the commands are not already at the top. The more you use them they will appear on top by default saving you the manual typing.
Yeah there is synchronize button.
It's just a habit. Using menu after typing in Message box because it's right next to it.
