Is the builtin git extension slower to update than Insiders?

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.67.2. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

It looks like the TriageBot has an issue too - since I am using the Insiders Build and not Stable - it shouldn't be producing that flag about Stable.

I can confirm that this also happens in macOS. If I move or symlink the file to the location where the error message says it's looking for git-editor.sh I get

[2022-05-26T15:51:35.065Z] error: There was a problem with the editor ''/Applications/Visual Studio Code - Insiders.app/Contents/Resources/app/extensions/git/dist/scripts/git-editor.sh''.

I am reverting the commit that introduced this feature until we iron out these issues. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I am closing this issue for now as the change that caused this has been reverted.

Marking as verified since it's not currently possible to enable Git: Use Editor as Commit Input
