There is an awesome extension called GitLens for that:

After installed, go to thee source control tab, right click on the file and select, "Open File History". Select your commit, then right click over it and click "Restore" from popup menu.

If you want to checkout a previous commit, I recommend to do it using command line:

  • hit ctrl + j to open up a terminal in VSCode
  • type git log to see commit history (or you can do that by looking the commit history from repo's page, e.g on Github). the commits are sorted that the upper one is more recent
  • Copy the long SHA key of the commit you want to checkout and run git checkout sha_key. sha_key is the key you just copied
