Today I was in the Windows Command Prompt after doing a git clone https://...MySolution.git
and wanted to open the .sln (i.e., solution file) from the new directory of the cloned repo.
What is the command to open this new solution in Visual Studio? Suppose the relative path is /MySolution/MySolution.sln
To open the terminal: Use the Ctrl+` keyboard shortcut with the backtick character. Use the View > Terminal menu command. From the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), use the View: Toggle Terminal command.
If you haven't done cd MySolution
but are still in the directory from which you did the git clone
just type
start MySolution/MySolution.sln
and hit Enter.
This will open whatever version of Visual Studio you currently have set to open with .sln
files in Windows.
If you don't mind using PowerShell, you should try WhatsNew. Once installed, you can just type sln
to open the solution file in that directory.
