Description

SCM View has may features and variabilities which takes quite a lot of time to test manually each time.

It would be good to integration tests to test how different features can be used in different modes via the API or using keyboard.

How to write integration tests: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/blob/master/doc/api-testing.md#writing-tests
