Right now extensions can create SCM source control but there is no way to access current active source control instance. It would be great if we can access them like how to access active text editor, the API can be like

export namespace scm {
    export let activeSourceControl: SourceControl | undefined;
    export const onDidChangeActiveSourceControl: Event<SourceControl | undefined>;

    export function createSourceControl(id: string, label: string, rootUri?: Uri): SourceControl;
}

@kieferrm @rebornix +1! Being able to retrieve the active SourceControl instance would be valuable for Live Share as well. I’d love to see this become possible 😁

@lostintangent Retrieving active source control provider is one solution for our multi-root workspace scenario but we didn't make decisions yet, you can join our discussion in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/pull/51734
