According to this:
VS Code ships with a Git source control manager (SCM) extension
However, I can't see Git in my latest version of Code. Neither can I see it under "Install Additional SCM Providers...".
I tried putting the path to my own Git client but it still does not show:
What is needed to enable Git in Code?
I fixed the same issue on my Mac by disabling all plugins and enabling them again.

I installed the plugin, but couldn't find anything in the documentation for the VS Code SVN plugin. I'm just looking to point it to a remote svn repository. Thanks.
If you are asking about the SVN-scm plug-in, you can check out a working copy using the SVN: Checkout command in the Command Palette.
I have tried to install the GitHub pull and request extensions in the Visual Studio Code.I installed it. But when I searched "Github" in the Visual Studio there is nothing showing in the visual studio code.
Your question is not clear, but I will try to answer it based on my understanding.
Try with Ctrl+Shift+P and search git, you should see all git commands.
From the official website:
To get started with the GitHub in VS Code, you'll need to install Git, create a GitHub account and install the GitHub Pull Requests and Issues extension.
Once you've installed the GitHub Pull Requests and Issues extension, you'll need to sign in.
After this, you can search for and clone a repository from GitHub using the Git: Clone command in the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) or by using the Clone Repository button in the Source Control view (available when you have no folder open).
I want to change default Eclipse Git executable location with SourceTree installed embedded Git executable.
But in eclipse where is the configuration to change git path ?
Reason I am doing this is ,Source Tree has latest Git but separate installed version is not latest (As I don't have installation right and Through Source Tree I can update Embedded version easily).
Eclipse uses EGit which relies on JGit (a java implementation of Git).
That is why you don't see a git.exe path to set. (As opposed to SourceTree, which can use an embedded or a "system" Git)
You can only specify a Git path in order for EGit to respect your Git system config.
Eclipse has its own GIT. It relay on the EGIT project .
Source tree other other hand can use internal git or System git.
You can take the git version installed by git and try to replace it (replace the EGIT git.exe)
I recommend reading this answer by #VonC as well
Using native git not jgit in Eclipse git?
When trying to initialize GitFlow with Source Tree, I am getting errors that it cannot find the "git" command. Installing GitFlow manually does not make a difference.
When Installing Git for Windows, include support for the Windows Command prompt. The new MinTTY interface is not the default for Source Tree and therefore causes the initialization of GitFlow to fail in Source Tree.
If you want to initialize GitFlow, you'll need to be able to access Git from Git Bash, which is enabled if you include support for the Windows command prompt.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Express. I know that this edition does not support git extensions integration. So I have tried a standalone source control Gui like git extensions but today I have seen another possibility that is GitHub for Windows.
I would like to know which is the difference between Git extensions and GitHub for Windows.
As illustrated here, GitHub for Windows (G4W) can interface with only the latest version of Visual Studio.
This is the main difference, in the context of your question, with Git Extensions, which is a plugin for Visual Studio (2005/2008/2010/2012), as shown in this article.
As such, Git Extensions isn't a "stand alone GUI".
You would compare, for "stand alone" GUIs, a G4W and an Atlassian Stash for instance.
I ran into the same question. Maybe this will help the next person.
Git for Windows - is a lightweight, native set of tools that bring the full feature set of the Git SCM(source control management software) to Windows while providing appropriate user interfaces for experienced Git users and novices alike. (source)
This tool can also be installed separately by visiting https://git-for-windows.github.io. This tools is not just for github but for git in general.
GitHub Extensions for Visual Studio - "lets you connect to GitHhub.com or GitHub enterprise and work with GitHub repositories inside of the visual studio IDE." (source: MS help) It adds a functionality(like context menus) inside of Visual Studio for things like creating and cloning repositories. (more here)
Git for windows lack lot of must have feature. gitextensions is most powerful GUI I ever use. Go for https://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/
