Why does the 'git blame' timeline sometimes appear in vscode, and how do I hide it?

I use vscode. Sometimes I seem to click or type something accidentally and a timeline view (similar to the one described in How can I view the Git history in Visual Studio Code?) appears.

enter image description here

How do I close the timeline view?

I thought the option to hide the timeline would be in View > Appearance but I can't see any references to 'timeline' history' 'commits' etc.

Right now I just close the file and reopen it but I'm sure there's a proper solution.

I also unintentionally opened blame history and didn't know how.

The reason why the timeline is opening unexpectedly is that clicking the message above the first line in a file opens and close the latest blame - see red area in the screenshot.

To fix it (thanks GitKraken for the advice on Twitter):

Command/ctrl + shift + P > GitLens: Open Settings > then scroll down to Git CodeLens:

Here's how you turn off those inline authorship messages that are easy to click, which pops out the annoying sidebar.

Ctrl+Shift+P => "Open Settings" => Ctrl+F for "Adds authorship CodeLens" Deselect the line. Turn off GetCodeLens

You probably hit the shortcut key for the command: GitLens: Toggle File Blame Annotations
