vscode: The integrated source control (Git) is very very slow in the latest version (1.78.x)
Type: Performance Issue
Before, the integrated source control (Git) in VSC is very fast but now it is very very slow. I’m not sure but this seems to happen after I update my VSC to the latest version (1.78.x). I thought that the problem is at my installed “git for Windows” (it worked well before I updated VSC) and updated it to the latest version but nothing changed, I think this is a problem of the latest version of VSC, or maybe at 1 of git extensions I installed but I’m not sure.
Note: If I use git through Git Bash, everything is still fine (fast as it should be)
Here are some log in the git output inside VSC: 2023-05-23 16:46:35.054 [info] > git add -A – D:\src\zero\main\ASPdotNET-Web-BE-Zero\CompanyEmployees\appsettings.json [27846ms]

Do not know why it took so much time for the basic operations (files in my repo are quite small, nothing big/huge at all)

I have the same issue on Windows 11
Is there any solution?
code --version 1.85.1 x64
git version 2.43.0.windows.1
Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 23H2 OS build 22631.2861 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22681.1000.0
Same issue here on Mac Sonoma with M1 Pro. Did you find any solution?
I have a same issue on Macbook M1 when using dev-container.
code --version 1.84.2 1a5daa3a0231a0fbba4f14db7ec463cf99d7768e x64
it’s unusably slow for me. CLI is nice and speedy but anything through the UI is worthless.
I noticed if the folder opened in vscode consists of a bunch of sub git folders, the git version control will be much slower than a folder with only 1 git repository/folder.
It’s not the case with the number of files in my case. It’s slower even if there’s 1 change in a git folder. But the same is faster in the case of a single git folder.
The source Control tab is very slow for me. When I click to view the changed file in the tab. Happen with both MacOS and Windows. I doubt it is related to the network, but why if I use in command line it is very fast.

I have just updated to 1.80 and source control takes a minute or two to load up. Whenever we open vs code before, it used to be almost instant. Although it’s still better than the previous 1.78 and/or 1.79.
Additional info: I downgraded VSC to v1.77.3 (“GitLens” extension is downgraded to 13.5.0 also because its latest version is not compatible with VSC v1.77.3) and everything is much better. Sometimes staging and un-staging files are still slow a little bit but acceptable.
I’m not based in the US and have this problem as well. Definitely related to source control. Downgrading to v1.77.3 seems to have solved it for now.
edit: Solution: I found that there was a conflict between source control and my cloud drive on the desktop (in my case it was Google Drive). I had my code stored in those synced folders and I believe the versioning between both source control and the cloud drive created somewhat of an infinite loop. Uninstalling Google Drive desktop (i.e. taking my code out of the the synced cloud drive) solved the problem for me.
I have had these problems for years on both Windows + MacOS with VScode. But Jetbrains’s products never got this problem.
I think Vscode devs can’t reproduce/fix this problem because they almost live in the US. So connection to GitHub is very fast => they never encountered this problem.
But JetBrains Headquarters is in Czechia, and they suffered the same problem too => It is easy for them to solve it.
Sorry! After uninstalling GitLens I forgot to restart VSCode. This fixed my similar issue.
Running VSCode
1.84.2on Ubuntu and seeing the same thing - source control features are ridiculously slow recently. This includes the built-in git features (staging, unstaging, committing, pushing, etc. As well as extensions that tie into the git environment, likegitlens.As suggested by @gh-egs-vividcloud above, downgrading to 1.77.3 does bring back git performance to normal. Unfortunately though it does require downgrading a lot of extensions with it.
I have the same problem
This is an example from my Git output, certain commands are taking a very long time.
git push origin master:master [69043ms]I am also seeing this issue on Windows 11 Home 22H2 (build 22621.2283).
