Research direction

The issue names no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by checking the Flatpak VS Code and Distrobox integration configuration; done means determining whether host Git can be exposed and recognized, or identifying the project change needed.

Description

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. I would like to know if there is a possibility of integrating vscode flatpak running a distrobox container to the git host. My problem is that creating a symbolic link makes the graphical git management done by vscode not work, git is not identified.
