VsCode’s built in git sidebar is great for the basic workflow of committing, pushing and diffing unpushed commits.
But for history, previewing stashes, switching branches etc I recommend gitKraken.
The commandline is my choice for most operations but it’s not effectivs when it comes to something like previewing files in stashes. -
leanrob36647yTried GitKraken. Meh
Tried GitHub Desktop. 👎
Tried SourceTree. Nope.
All these free solutions are not good enough. If free is your criteria then suck it up and use a terminal (which is always a good idea and a needed skill)
But, if you have some coins to pay for a good git GUI then the best option by far is Tower.

Yes, I can already hear it now...
“But the other solutions are free and are good enough”
If your broke then I mean no offence. If your a professional developer who is unwilling to pay for good tools then I don’t know what to say to you.
A carpenter could hammer nails with the back of his work boots but he doesn’t, he buys a good hammer because he is a professional. End of rant
