Open source control view

Before I invite others to review, make the source-control view easier to scan: show unstaged changes and untracked files at the very top, group changes by folder, and add a one-line diff preview for each file so a reviewer can spot big refactors without opening every file.

I just pulled the latest branch, but the source-control pane shows no changes while I know I edited three files. The team lead expects a review in two hours and I’m worried my local changes aren’t being detected or I’m on the wrong folder. Check whether the workspace root is the repo root, whether the git extension is active, and whether there are ignored patterns hiding files. If one of those, give the exact command or click path to fix it.

Every sprint I lose time because I open the editor and start working without confirming the source-control view. I end up with forgotten staged files or accidental commits. Recommend a simple habit or checklist I can follow when opening a project that prevents missed changes and makes it routine to verify the working tree before coding.
