Looks like the option to turn off the new Git experience is gone from VS2022. And there is still no way to link in a DevOps work item like you could in the Team Explorer.
Has anyone found the off switch in VS022 for this "experience"?
According to Git for Visual Studio 2019,
"The new Git experience is the default version control system in Visual Studio 2019 from version 16.8 onwards. However, if you want to turn it off, you can. Go to Tools > Options > Environment > Preview Features and then toggle the New Git user experience checkbox, which will switch you back to Team Explorer for Git."
According to Git for Visual Studio 2022,
For Visual Studio 2022, the new Git Experience is the only Git experience. Unfortunately, there is no way to revert back to the old Git experience.
Caleb F. answered it in full, but for newer versions of VS 2022, the feature is called "Enable line-staging support", in the same "Preview Features" menu.

I have been using Visual Studio (12) with Test Complete for a few years and had several cloned git repositories. I was using the Visual Studio GUI to connect, commit and pull. I would access it by doing a "TEAM -> Connect to Team Foundation Server" and I could choose from the clones repositories. Today when I do it there is none there (see image):
I did some Googling and talked to a coworker who does the same thing. He told me under Tools->options->source control to add "Microsoft GIT Provider" which must have been what I had had. So I went to the menu (see below). "Microsoft GIT Provider" is there and I can click but it doesn't change in the menu (I can't actually select it though it is there). See picture below (and I apologize for the writing but Snipping Tool does not have Text Input):
I did get a git bash window and go to the directory and was able to do a "git status" which means the repositories are actually still there so it must be a VS issue. I have Visual Studio Professional 2012, version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL. Several items are listed. The ones with Visual Studio are "Visual Studio 2012 Code Analysis Spell Checker" and "Visual Studio 2012 Share Point Developer Tools" and "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012"
Any idea what may have happened? GIT provider got uninstalled somehow or what? I am not sure. I guess I could do things from the command line. Push and Pull are straightforward but some others are more complicated and it is much simpler to do from GUI.
Any Ideas?
I am trying to find a way to "Cherry Pick" in visual studio 2013. We do not want to merge all of our beat branch into our master branch, but only certain changes. I see it seems that only Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 and newer allow this. How can I do this task in Visual Studio 2013, or what should I do to accomplish this?
Thanks!
I would suggest installing another tool to cherry pick. There are tools for both command line and with a graphical user interface (https://git-scm.com/download/gui/windows).
I am looking for suggestions for a git integration with VS 2010/2012 that allow developers use the basic operations (commit, push,pull,switch branches, tagging)
There are several:
Git Source Control Provider
Visual Studio Tools for Git a.k.a. Microsoft Git Provider from Microsoft.
Git Extensions
1 and 2 gives you deep integration with the source control UI of Visual Studio, like padlock icons on files:
1 uses the ordinary Pending Changes tab, but adds some functions, like Switch Branch:
2 surely represents the future of Git integration in Visual Studio since Microsoft is behind it.
Note that 2 requires Visual Studio 2012 (with update 2 even), so if VS2010 support is a requirement you cannot use it. 2 is built into Visual Studio 2013
However, it sounds like you might prefer 3. Git Extensions is simpler and just gives you a simple toolbar with commit, pull, push, stash (not switch branch, though):
Visual Studio for Git with VS 2012, it's matured now (version 1.0).
I like deep integration with VS 2012 especially switch between branch seamlessly, you will work with any branch at any time.
Another thing is that it's working very well with Bitbucket.
I was using Visual Studio 2010 previously, with visual SVN as the source control. Now that I've upgraded to Visual Studio 2012, I'm facing problem of adding SVN as the source control (to VS 2012). By default only Team Foundation is there. Any help with how to add SVN as the source control to Visual Studio 2012 would be really appreciated.
VisualSVN 3.0 supports Visual Studio 2012. You can get it at the download page.
Except VS2012 support and a couple of usability and UI improvements VisualSVN 3.0 introduces the new Community License that allows to use VisualSVN for free on non-domain machines (moreover it permits commercial use!). See the VisualSVN 3.0 Release Notes.
In VS2012 just go to Tools/Options/Source control and in dropdown "Current source control plug-in" select the needed one (if you already have it installed)
Run the Visual SVN installer again and select 'Modify'
Tick the box that say 'Integration Visual Studio 2012'
and then continue with the installation. Restart VS 2012 and you will see VISUAL SVN on the TOP menu
We use AnkhSVN for VS2012 and lower versions.
Most likely you're using old version of VisualSVN that doesn't support VS2012. Try to install latest VisualSVN 3.0 for Visual Studio 2012 support.
Currently I am using VisualSVN-5.1.4, but I have done this with previous versions.
Re-run the installer.
Select "Modify", then Next to move to the "Custom Setup" pane.
A checkbox list of the installed Visual Studio (VS) versions will appear.
Check to VS('s) that apply.
Open the targeted VS.
Open the "Tools>Options" dialog and select Source Control
Select "VisualSVN" from the "Current source control plug-in" combo box.
I first took the "Repair" option but that did not put VisualSVN in the Source Control options list. It didn't hurt but it didn't help, either.
Yo need to run the installer of subversion again and repair the installation.
The installer will register the application in the VS2012 version too.
We had the same problem with it.
What you really need to do is go to Tools -> Options
In the dialog scroll down to Source Control -> plug-in-selections.
There is a drop down that has a list of source controls and you select your SVN controller there (Ankh, Visual, whatever one you want).
This is the same for 2012, 2013 and 2015
Re-run the installer , and during the setup, choose the versions of Visual Studio you want to be available.
The Eclipse IDE has a nice feature that automatically logs file revisions and you can view them anytime by right-clicking on a file and clicking on Compare With -> Local History....
Is there an equivalent to this in Visual Studio 2010?
Some more updated options:
Every save is stored in a git repository. You can use existing git tools to look at the history:
autogit
This extension provides a custom local history viewer:
Local History for Visual Studio
Local History for Visual Studio is similar to Eclipse or IntelliJ's local history feature. It works with Visual Studio 2012 and 2013.
There is not natively in Visual Studio but what about Visual Local History. It has the option to 'Compare with last version'. It should work well for VS 2005, 2008 and with some extra configuration for 2010.
There is not an equivalent feature for local history.
However, if you're using TFS, there is support in the IDE for getting history of files (though this is commited/checked history).
Many other version control systems also have plugins for Visual studio which provide this type of functionality. For example, VisualHG provides an "HG History" command which shows the version history in the Mercurial repository.
For Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 VSHistory extension: maintains the history of files in your Visual Studio projects every time they are saved. Any saved version can be viewed or a diff with the current version can be displayed
