Git gui icon disappeared vs code

Question

image of my current vs Code VSCode Version: 1.49.3 OS Version: 10.15.7

The git gui icon is missing. I have tried creating a new repo + git init. Also, I have tried to enable and disable git from settings nothing has worked. The cause of this is a button I accidentally pressed that removed it. IDK what the button said exactly... No updates recently. Any help with fixing this would be much appreciated!

I like using the git gui so would rather not switch back to the terminal for everything.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Right Click on Activity Bar and Select/Check Source Control or keyboard shortcut (CTRL + SHFT + G on mac)

Answer 2

By right-clicking on the activity bar where the icons are and seeing if "Source Control" is checked I was able to get it back.
