I just selected a specific commit from my Git Graph list, and I’m trying to access the corresponding modifications made to a .txt file.

I get this “Unable to View Diff (this is a binary file)” message:

.

Why? How can I access these modifications in VSCode? Of course, this is not a binary file. It just contains text.

Right now I’m doing the job by using WinMerge as my git difftool, but it’s much slower than just clicking on the file.

PS: Modifications made to other text files (e.g. .bat, .cpp, …) can be easily accessed by just clicking on the file.
