Git Graph icon not showing up next to repos after latest VSCode update
Describe the Bug After clicking the "Restart to Update" button on VSCode, the Git Graph icon stopped showing next to each repo in the Source Control tab. The extension still works, as I can open it from the bottom bar, but I can no longer open arbitrary graphs from different repos without manually switching through the bottom bar.
See the screenshot. Outlined in green is where the git graph icon for that repo used to appear.
Steps to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
- Install latest VSCode Version
Expected Behaviour Bring back the per-repo icon.

Solution is below for package.json. In older version "group": "navigation" is used to display an icon. In latest version of VSCode "group": "inline" should be used. Now we need two entries to support older and newer version of VSCode. ``` "scm/title": [ { "when": "scmProvider == git && config.git-graph.sourceCodeProviderIntegrationLocation == 'Inline'", "command": "git-graph.view", "group": "navigation" }, { "when": "scmProvider == git && config.git-graph.sourceCodeProviderIntegrationLocation == 'Inline'", "command": "git-graph.view", "group": "inline" },
I also opened an issue in vscode repo: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/277107
It seems there is a bug in latest vscode version. We need to wait for a fix.
I really hope it's a bug, not a feature. It seems like other things were moved to the "..." menu as a result of 1.106.x update.
It has been fixed in the following VS Code version:
Version: 1.106.2 (user setup) Commit: 1e3c50d64110be466c0b4a45222e81d2c9352888 Date: 2025-11-19T16:56:50.023Z
I updated VS Code, and the buttons are back.
See this comment from a vscode dev https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/277122#issuecomment-3570284976
It appears they have changed the extension API slightly so extensions will need to be updated to restore the full previous behaviour
Here is an example PR of the change required https://github.com/carpaty/github-sync-fork/pull/13/files
Meanwhile, setting "git-graph.sourceCodeProviderIntegrationLocation": "More Actions" seems to restore the "View Git Graph" icon.
==EDIT==
Never mind, simply updating VS Code to 1.106.2 fixes the issue.
@rusitschka you may miss it at first, because by default it's not visible. Instead it only appears on the "Changes" line on hover
default:
hover:
@sbor23 This is what I was asking on the related vscode issue https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/277122#issuecomment-3570102032
To which they said the extension needs to be updated to restore the original behaviour as extensions now need to contribute to the scm/repository extension (instead of scm/title which I think it was before)
I do not think this has been fully fixed in my opinion.
The buttons used to display in the red box but now only display in the green box
This is an issue when you only have a single repo selected in a multi repo project
Hovering over the SCM view then makes the buttons appear.
But this now means you have to look/click in 2 places (ensure correct repo is selected + click graph button) and you need to know that the button will magically appear when the mouse is close
As a minimum can the buttons be permanently visible rather than just when the cursor is close, ideally the buttons can be added back to the
Repositoriessection
So (I'm not an extension dev so probably wrong) I would think it is this line that needs to be changed from scm/title to scm/repository
https://github.com/mhutchie/vscode-git-graph/blob/d7f43f429a9e024e896bac9fc65fdc530935c812/package.json#L1500C1-L1511C5
Confirmed that with this change it moves the button to the original location
Looks like the group is also inverted in the vscode scm/title endpoint which appears to be a vscode bug
