According to the docs I found, SourceTree just uses whatever you've configured your git repo to use.
You can configure your git repo to use VS Code with the
git config
command like so:However, you must configure VS Code to launch from the terminal before this will work.
See this blog for more info.

I found this with instructions on how to get it to work on the Mac. I wasn't able to get it to work until I used the full path to the code executable (I also set code in my global path)

You can compare two versions of a document to see how they differ. You can also merge two versions of the same document into one new document. In both cases, Word shows the differences with revision marks.
