VisualGit

Introduction

VisualGit is an extension for Visual Studio 2010 providing a fully functional source control provider without any dependencies other than this extension.

Getting started

After you've installed the extension, it may not be enabled automatically. Go to Tools | Options and find the Source Control options page. Here you can select the "VisualGit - Git Support for Visual Studio" source control plug-in.

After enabling the extension, you should provide your name and e-mail address. These can be entered on the Source Control | Git Configuration page.

Last, when you want to communicate with Git servers, you have to provide the location of the certificate you use to communicate with this server. This can be done by going to the Source Control | Git Environment options page and clicking Edit for Manage Certificates.
