Visual Studio 2010 git source control provider

Question

The git source control provider does not work Visual Studio 2010. I have installed it but I cannot see any icon in solution explorer, nor any "git" menu item. How can I fix it?

Answer 1

Go to Tools, Options, Source Control and select GIT

Answer 2

The git source control provider should work just fine in Visual Studio 2010. Are you using the version from the extension manager?

• Tools -> Extension Manager
• Click Online Gallery
• Type in "git" into the search box

The first one that pops up should be "Git Source Control Provider". Click download and it will install.
