There are three ways to start using Git with Visual Studio to be more productive: Open an existing Git repository. If your code is already on your machine, you can open it by using File Open Project/Solution (or Folder) and Visual Studio automatically detects if it has an initialized Git repository. Create a new Git repository. 2 days ago Notably, the new version of Visual Studio 2022 will feature a native macOS UI and will get the new Git experience. Our goal with Visual Studio 2022 for Mac. We actually found Visual Studio Code’s built-in Git features to be easier to use than Visual Studio 2019’s. That’s probably because Microsoft had the luxury of starting from scratch using a new, minimal user interface rather than a lot of the baggage carried in by years of previous work. Or, if your project is already bound to a git repository, simply add the GitHub remote and push it there. Git remote add github URLTOGITHUBREPO git push github master Afterwards, Visual Studio should allow you to push to Github as well as any older remotes that were added locally. You can always remove the existing remote if you want to.
To add your supply request file, do the following:
From your BitbucketStationSupplies in Bitbucket, click Source to open the source directory. Notice you only have one file,
supplies.txt, in your directory.A. Source page: Click the link to open this page.
B. Branch selection: Pick the branch you want to view.
C. More options button: Click to open a menu with more options, such as 'Add file'.
D. Source file area: View the directory of files in Bitbucket.
From the Source page, click the More options button in the top right corner and select Add file from the menu. The More options button only appears after you have added at least one file to the repository. A page for creating the new file opens, as shown in the following image.
A. Branch with new file: Change if you want to add file to a different branch.
B. New file area: Add content for your new file here.
Enter supplyrequest in the filename field.
Select HTML from the Syntax mode list.
Add the following HTML code to the text area:
We are requesting additional supplies. Please send us the following:- space ice cream
- nerf darts
- telescope light shield
Click Commit. The Commit message field appears with the message:
supplyrequest created online with Bitbucket.Click Commit under the message field.
Earlier today, Microsoft offered us a peek at Visual Studio 2022, which will offer its first public preview builds later this summer. If you're into the Visual Studio ecosystem, this looks like a killer upgrade.
Visual Studio enters the 64-bit world... finally
With Visual Studio 2022, you'll finally be able to take advantage of all of your system RAM. Earlier versions of Visual Studio are 32-bit applications, thereby hobbling VS to a maximum of 2GiB RAM.
The new VS2022 is fully 64-bit—without which the first GIF in the gallery above wouldn't be able to open a whopping 1,600 projects and roughly 300,000 files at once.
IntelliCode gets a little smarter
Visual Studio's AI IntelliCode Engine—which the less-fancy among us might simply think of as 'command autocomplete'—gets an upgrade as well.
We don't have any specific details on what's different, just a promise that 'Visual Studio 2022 will provide more and deeper integrations into your daily workflows, helping you to take the right action in the right place at the right time.'
AdvertisementEnvironments and languages
The new Visual Studio 2022 offers full support for .NET 6 and all the features it offers. This includes .NET MAUI—the Multi-platform App UI visible in the gallery above—as well as .NET Hot Reload, a feature allowing developers to apply code updates to a running app without needing to restart the app or lose its current state.
Visual C++ also gets new productivity features, tooling, and IntelliSense. Along with these features, cross-platform devs get support for CMake, Linux, and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
Git and GitHub integration
Visual Studio 2022 will offer powerful new support for Git and GitHub.
This includes built-in logic and checkpoints to guide devs through merge and review processes, anticipating feedback from colleagues ahead of time. Microsoft says, 'Our guiding principle here was helping you to have higher confidence in the code you deliver.'
