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!

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.

Thanks your gif helped me fix the issue I was stuck on for a while. For me, the explorer icon was showing the count of the git changed. Then the way in gif you dragged the git source control I did that and it fixed my issue.

Thanks for the answer, in my case there was no "Source Control" Showing up in the Activity Bar. But thanks to the shortcut (CTRL + SHFT + G) the Source Control was highlighted, and i realized it somehow got into the Bottom Panel.
