Is there a way to show the Git commands that Visua

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Differences between Commit, Commit and Push, Commit and Sync 3 answers
• Visual Studio Team Explorer - View Git Commands 3 answers

In Visual Studio Code, there is a "Show Git Output" menu item that shows the recent Git commands that have been run. For an example of what this looks like, see 3:35+ in this video.

Is there a way to do the same in Visual Studio?

Answer 1

This is not entirely possible (for instance, for VS2015) because:

• only Visual Studio 15 Preview 5 is switching from using libgit2 to using git commands directly.
• As explained in "Work from the Git command prompt", VS2015 does not know how to perform all Git commands anyway
