Using Github With Visual Studio



Sign in to GitHub by using Visual Studio Code. Use Visual Studio Code to search GitHub for repos. Clone a repo from Visual Studio Code. Publish a local project to GitHub by using Visual Studio Code. View a timeline of activity on a GitHub repo. The Git integration in Visual Studio does not offer any terminal or ability to manually run Git commands. Using other means to obtain a terminal (ex: Package Manager Console as mentioned above) is a workaround for some Git commands.
