Visual Studio Team Services with GitHub

I'm looking to setup a CI workflow for my inhouse (closed source ) project. I'm currently using GitHub for git/issue tracking. My application is a desktop application ( no cloud / server deployments ). Therefore workflow should be

  • Commit to master on github
  • Notify CI via github webhooks
  • Run MSBuild
  • Run Tests
  • Build Release

I like the idea of a hosted CI system but I can't figure out if Visual Studio Team Services requires total commitment or I can just use it for CI and notify it of checkins from Github via normal github hooks. I'm not so interested in migrating issue tracking and git hosting to VS Team Services.

My specific question. Are there hook mechanisms within Visual Studio Team Services for pulling from remote git repo's when github webhooks are received?

Automated builds with a GitHub repo is available in the new version of our build system in Visual Studio Team Services. We were able to preview it in Brian Harry's latest keynote on November 12, 2015. It's the very last demo. Hope that will work out for you!
