How to see `diff` of all the files in one editor panel?

Question

I use VS Code and "git lense", "git history", "git graph" extensions. I made a lot of changes in a lot of files, and I can't see a way, using any of those extensions, to display all my changes in just one window.

I know I can click on a single file (when diffing with a chosen branch), but how to see the diff on all of them? Am I missing something, or maybe there is some other extension which can do that?

One not entirely satisfying answer is : run from the integrated terminal :

# the '[space][dash]' after 'code' is relevant :
# it tells vscode to write content received on stdin in a tmp file,
# and open that file
git diff | code -

The outpt will be opened as a .txt file, you can additionally change the syntax highlighter to "diff" mode :

• choose Change language mode from the command palette (Ctrl+K M on linux)
• in the dropdown list, select Diff
