How can I hide indent guides in Visual Studio Code?

Question

Press Ctrl + Shift + p, type settings and select Preferences: Open Settings (JSON) to open User Settings, and add this:

// Controls whether the editor should render indent guides
  "editor.renderIndentGuides": false,

This will disable the indent guides.

See the documentation for User Settings.
