Vscode-gitlens: Git lens option is removed from left side bar in latest version

[accel9]

Git lens option is removed in latest version in VS code https://prnt.sc/vl14m0, Can we get that option back? what settings do I need to change to enable it. I used that option to check file history and some other info.

1. Open Command Palette (CMD + SHFT + P)
2. Search GitLens: Set Views Layout
3. Select GitLens Layout

Can't find those commands for Git Lens on my case.

1. Open Command Palette (CMD + SHFT + P)
2. Search _GitLens: Set Views Layout_
3. Select _GitLens Layout_

done

Why did the default change ?

File and line view are now on the same menu for the current default view, this doesn't make any sense IMO

[eamodio]

v11 changed the default for many reasons, including ease-of-use, moving committing and history closer together, avoiding confusion that GitLens doesn't provide commit ability. Also with the provided commands it is very simple to restore the previous behavior -- or you can just drag and drop views anywhere you'd like.

Yep restoring to the original behavior was straightforward :+1:

For those coming to this issue, did this view not show for you?

[xgenem]

@eamodio it did now. When I first came to this ticket it didn't. There was a supplementary update and that solved it for me. Thanks!

Yeah, in 11.0.6 I re-forced it to show. But I have no idea why it didn't show the first time.

Thank you for working on this. Really great tool.
