Accept Incoming Change not appearing in VS Code (VS Code Version 1.61.2)

Question

I have a problem, where I don't see the toolbar for merge conflicts in Visual Studio Code even after enabling the editor.codeLens .

Any idea what else it can be? I tried to restart VS Code, disabling/enabling editor.codeLens. I even installed/uninstalled Gitlens - Git supercharged.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I uninstalled the VSCode and reinstalled it but doens't work. Then I completely uninstalled the VSCode along with its data, caches, temporary files And Reinstalled it and Worked like a charm.

Before that I tried enabling CodeLens and Adding VSCode as default merge tool, difftool and whatever is available on the internet, nothing worked.

Basically what I deduce is, there is some extension that have malfunctioned your VSCode git merge tool or its settings. You can try uninstalling all extensions first before completly uninstall the VSCode

Uninstall Completely

In case someone still can't solve this issue. You can turn off the Git: Merge Editor from Setting menu.
