Why is git not working in Visual Studio Code?

Question

I have installed husky in my project. Then I ran the precommit command. Now, when I run the git command, it is not working and it's instead asking me how do you want to open the file. So, I removed husky using npm prune and then removed the hooks folder from /.git of the project directory, but still didn't help. I am using Windows 10.

Answer 1

First, in the built-in terminal, type: git --version.

If that command does not work, download and install the latest version of Git. Else, in VS Code's extensions, in the search bar type: @builtin. This will list all the built-in extensions in VS Code categorized under different sections. In the 'Features' section look for Git extension. Check if it is disabled. Enable it and your version control should start working.
