Remove hyperlink to vscode source control page

#1

Hi team,

We are on theia 1.19.0 and when the use hits Close Workspace from file menu, the following pane shows up.

The hyperlink read our docs takes to https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/sourcecontrol/overview. Is there a way to disable the hyperlink or possibly modify the target of the hyperlink?

Thanks and Regards,
Chid.

Hey @chid.crushev,

I believe that this doesn’t really come from Theia itself, but is a viewsWelcome entry of the official git vscode extension. In theory this entry is registered somewhere here, though you might have to dig around a bit on how to correctly override that behavior without affecting other stuff.

@msujew , I looked at the above solution and it needs an override. I need to access and set this property for the override implementation. But this property is private and not able to access/set in my overrride implementation. Any thoughts/work around on this?

Regards,
Chid

@chid.crushev You can always access private fields using the string indexing syntax of TypeScript: this["viewsWelcome"]. Though these fields actually shouldn’t be private.
