nRF Connect for VSCode: lots of background git commands

I've installed nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack v2024.9.5 to ubuntu 22.04 and after opening vscode the free disk space continues to diminish and cpu load is constantly high (cpu load  ~5).

This seems not a temporary "update" operation in background but it last for many hours.

I suspect that the problem arise from these processes, but I've no idea how they are started and how to eventually disable them.
