GitHub Extension for Visual Studio
The location of the submodules has changed as of 31-01-2017. If you have an existing clone, make sure to run git submodule sync to update your local clone with the new locations for the submodules.
The GitHub Extension for Visual Studio provides GitHub integration in Visual Studio 2015. Most of the extension UI lives in the Team Explorer pane, which is available from the View menu.
Official builds of this extension are available at the official website.
Documentation
Visit the documentation for details on how to use the features in the GitHub Extension for Visual Studio.
Installing beta versions
Older and pre-release/beta/untested versions are available at the releases page, and also via a custom gallery feed for Visual Studio.
You can configure the gallery by going to Tools / Options / Extensions and Updates and adding a new gallery with the url https://visualstudio.github.com/releases/feed.rss. The gallery will now be available from Tools / Extensions and Updates.
Beta releases will have (beta) in their title in the gallery, following the version number. You can view the release notes in the gallery by hovering over the description, or by clicking the Release Notes link on the right side.
Build requirements
- Visual Studio 2015
- Visual Studio SDK
Build
Clone the repository and its submodules in a git GUI client or via the command line:
git clone https://github.com/github/VisualStudio
cd VisualStudio
git submodule init
git submodule deinit script
git submodule update
Open the GitHubVS.sln solution with Visual Studio 2015.
To be able to use the GitHub API, you'll need to:
- Register a new developer application in your profile.
- Open src/GitHub.Api/ApiClientConfiguration_User.cs and fill out the clientId/clientSecret fields for your application. Note this has recently changed location, so you may need to re-do this
Build using Visual Studio 2015 or:
build.cmd
Install in live (non-Experimental) instances of Visual Studio 2015 and 2017:
install.cmd
Note, the script will only install in one instance of Visual Studio 2017 (Enterprise, Professional or Community).
Build Flavors
By default, building will create a VSIX with Experimental="true" and AllUsers="false" in its extension.vsixmanifest. These settings are necessary in order to easily install a standalone VSIX file. There is no need to uninstall the version previously installed via Visual Studio setup / Extensions and Updates.
The following can be executed via cmd.exe.
To build and install a Debug configuration VSIX:
build.cmd
install.cmd
To build and install a Release configuration VSIX:
set Configuration=Release
build.cmd
install.cmd
To build a VSIX that can be installed via a gallery feed on Extensions and Updates:
set Configuration=Release
set IsExperimental=false
build.cmd
Note, attempting to install IsExperimental=false builds of the VSIX is not recommended.
