There is an ability to disable badges for Activity Bar Views in the Stable Build v1.74 now.

In the context menu for each icon - but NOT for Accounts - is a toggle Hide Badge or Show Badge.

toggle activity bar badges

I think settings and/or commands may be coming to toggle these badges on or off but aren't in the Insiders Build yet.

If you never actually use the Source Control tab, you can right-click and hide it entirely.

That should at least get rid of the distracting flicker that happens a few seconds after every save.

To disable the Git badge, you can add this to your settings.json:

"git.countBadge": "off"

I could not find an equivalent setting for the unsaved file counter. However, as a workaround, enabling auto-save with a short delay also disables that badge:

"files.autoSave": "afterDelay"
