VS Code has a nice built-in Git interface, but it defaults to side-by-side file comparison/diff. Is there a way to switch to unified colored mode?

Our Git tooling supports viewing of diffs within VS Code. Tip: You can diff any two files by first right clicking on a file in the Explorer or OPEN EDITORS list and selecting Select for Compare and then right-click on the second file to compare with and select Compare with 'file_name_you_chose'.
You can run the git diff HEAD command to compare the both staged and unstaged changes with your last commit. You can also run the git diff <branch_name1> <branch_name2> command to compare the changes from the first branch with changes from the second branch. Order does matter when you're comparing branches.
The official view is a side by side one
But the VSCode Tips page mentions
