How to disable/turn off 3-way merge editor view in VSCode?


Until recently, in VSCode, handling merge conflicts was simple (to me, at least):

  • Accept Current Change,
  • Accept Incoming Change,
  • Accept Both Changes,
  • Compare Changes.

It used to be something like this:

VSCode merge-conflict original view

source

However, from v1.70 onwards, it's been updated. See v1.70 release notes

Now, it looks something like this:

VSCode merge-conflict new view

source

At this point, I don't like this new view. So, how can I turn it off and change it back to the original one?


Solution

  • As I understand, you need to disable git.mergeEditor in your user settings:
