Description

@miguelsolorio

If you do a fresh install of Code on a new computer and Git is not installed, you are overwhelmed with several notifications/messages. This is not a great onboarding experience for new users as it assumes that I will be using Git.

Repro

  1. Install VS Code on a machine without Git
  2. Run VS Code

Result

  • Notification banner appears informing you Git is not installed
  • Output panel is opened and informs you of the same message

Expected

  • Only show these banner when I open a Git project
