Describe the improvement that you'd like Add instructions on how to get started with Git Graph to the documentation, such as how to open a Git Graph tab. It is not obvious how to interact with the extension if one is not familiar with the source control tab of VS Code to begin with.

There is an animated gif at the top of the extension page, but what was clicked on to get the tab to open is easily missed, especially if you don't know what to look for.

Having something to read which would point out the ways to access the extension will increase usability.

Additional context (optional) After a great deal of hunting around on my own, trying to figure out how to use the extension, I asked a team member how to use it. They admitted to me that it was difficult for them to figure out how to open it, and they had to find out how to use it from a YouTube video.
