Visual Studio Code – VSCode git action shortcuts/buttons taking up space in editor tab bar. Why are they there and how can I get rid of them?

I hit some shortcut and now I can’t figure out how to make this row of shortcuts go away. It’s blocking my file tabs, which is the more valuable real estate to me.

the thing I want to go away

I tried toggling all the options under View > Appearance, but didn’t find a way to remove these action buttons in the editor tab bar.

    That’s just a default part of the gitlens extension. I’m not aware of a way to disable it aside from disabling the extension.

    You can remove those gitlens-related icons.

    1. Run the command Gitlens: Open Settings from the Command Palette.
    2. That will open a separate custom editor where you can enable or disable gitlens’ settins.
    3. Scroll way down to the Menus and Toolbars section.
    4. Disable the Add to the editor group toolbar option.
    5. That show remove those icons you see in the right of the editor group.

    Alternatively, in your settings.json find this group of settings:

      "gitlens.menus": {
    "editor": {
      "blame": false,
      "clipboard": true,
      "compare": true,
      "history": false,
      "remote": false
    },
    "explorer": {
      "clipboard": true,
      "compare": true,
      "history": true,
      "remote": true
    },
    // etc....many more
    "editorGroup": false,     // add this line anywhere in this setting
