As shown in the below image the Explore icon has the badge showing the count of my git changes. I don't know how this happened some how unexpectedly I did something and this behaviour started. How do I fix it and get the default behaviour of the git icon showing the changes count?

That Explorer icon badge is supposed to show the number of unsaved files with changes - it doesn't show the number of git changes except coincidentally.

I don't think the Explorer unsaved files count badge can be turned off. You can change its color or opacity but that would affect all badges (like the scm badge).

You accidentally moved the SOURCE CONTROL View to the Explorer bar.

Is this view not present in the SCM Bar?

I have tried to do it with the mouse but could not recreate. It created a new SCM icon in the Activity Bar with 1 view.

To move all the views to the default position execute command: View: Reset View locations

Thanks to this answer the GIF attached in answer was able to help me to fix the issue. I just dragged the Source Control to the sidebar and it worked.
