Visual Studio 2019 Team Explorer missing GitHub option panels - visual-studio

So I just installed VS 2019 and right of the box, I am not seeing the options for Github as I can see on 2017.
Here is what I am seeing:
I am expecting to see this:
What could cause the options not showing up? I can see them on VS 2017. TIA.

To Solve this problem we need to simply disabled New Git user experience option. To do so, press "Ctrl+Q"(to search) -> now paste preview features -> uncheck New Git user experience checkbox. And Wala! you are done!

This is the way I solved my Problem.

I recently ran into this issue. I went to the Search box at the very top of Visual Studio, looked for preview features as mentioned in another comment, and unchecked New Git user experience. That reverted it to the old way. Then, I went back and checked it back on, and the Git Changes tab reappeared in the solution explorer window.

Something changed recently with an update to VS 2019. If you click the "Open Git Changes" link, it opens a new window that lets you do the individual Fetch, Pull and Push operations (highlighted arrows screenshot here).

As far as I can see, git was moved to a menu option "Git" in Visual Studio 2019 16.8.3. Maybe I am missing something but I can have a go and try the new menu Git > Manage Branches

Just have the same problem that i was missing the "Team Explorer" Panel (Changes, Sync etc.)in Visual Studio 2019.
When I was turning off following Option, the menu was looking like VS2017:
Git -> Options -> Environment -> Preview Feature
Turning off "New git user experience" Option.
Maybe this helps.
Here the article about the "New git user experience":
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/exciting-new-updates-to-the-git-experience-in-visual-studio/

I have the same problem, suddenly when I opened my Visual Studio 2019 Professional Edition, the Git connection is gone in Team Explorer, and I can't even see my projects in Azure Devops when I am already connected.
My solution is I just updated my Visual Studio by checking for new updates by going on Help Menu -> Check for Updates.

How to customize Team Explorer in VS

I have re-installed my Visual Studio 2019 Professional and now Team Explorer is missing some sections. Branches and Changes sections are missing. Now I am able to manage my branches from Git repository window, which is not too comfortable for me. How can I add missing sections to Team Explorer tab?
Problem solves. New "Git experience" feature has been presented in VS 2019.
To bring disappeared sections back in Team Explorer just disable "New Git user experience" under Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Preview features.

Yes just uncheck New Git features!

Do we have Git source control explorer in Visual Studio 2017?

We get source control explorer for the TFS source control model, and it is productive.
Do we get a similar source control explorer for Git in Visual Studio 2017?
If we do have it, how do I navigate to it?
In short, no, there is no built-in UI support for Git in Visual Studio 2017.
Alternatively, you can try the following extensions based on your source control setup.
In Visual Studio, select Tools → Extensions and Updates, select Online on the left pane, search for one of the following in the search bar in the top right:
Bitbucket → install Visual Studio Bitbucket Extension
GitHub → Install GitHub Extension for Visual Studio
Git → Install Easy Git Integration Tools
The first two do a good job of providing UI controls to work with source control as they relate to Bitbucket or GitHub in a similar fashion to regular TFS integration (that you may be familiar with). I haven't tried the third one myself, and I'm not sure what that one is like.
Please see the Solution Explorer - Folder View. This can be accessed from Solution Explorer (open with CTRL+W, S), then by clicking the Solutions and Folders toggle button. In Visual Studio 2017, it looks like this:
Though it's not a 1:1 capability of the Team Foundation Source Control Explorer view, it does have the ability to view files in the local repo, open, view history, etc.
Visual Studio does not currently have Source Control Explorer for Git repositories. You might consider voting on this User Voice item to help the product team prioritize features:
https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio-ide/suggestions/4178754-visual-studio-tools-for-git-extension-microsoft-g
In Visual Studio 2019, open the folder for the work space using "File->Open->Folder...". The solution explorer, via "View->Solution Explorer", should display all the files which you can then right click to view history and other GIT operations.

Visual Studio 2015 Toolbar Broken

It looks like my Visual Studio Tool bar is broken somehow this morning. I am using VS2015 and also have sql server 2016 installed on this machine. I am running on a mac, w/ Parallels on Windows 10. Anyone ever seen this? It looks like it is duplicating items and adding items from sql server management studio.
Thanks for the help,
Chris
I've never seen anything like that before, but you can try resetting the toolbars back to default.
Tools (one of them) > Import and Export Settings.
Import selected environment settings.
Save your current settings if you want, or skip that step.
Choose something from "Default Settings", I like "General".
Uncheck "All Settings".
Check General Settings > Menu and Command Bar customization.
You could also try starting Visual Studio in "Safe Mode", by adding "/SafeMode" to the command line for "devenv.exe". That should tell you if this is caused by an extension or not.
Okay what worked for me was to "Repair" my install of Visual Studio.. I assume reinstall would work too but I didn't want to do that w/o trying quicker methods.
Steps:
1. Go to add/remove programs
2. Find Visual Studio 2015
3. Right click on it and select repair.
4. Restart computer and all good.

Cannot see go online option in tfs

I opened a solution in offline mode. But now I am trying to go online and connect to tfs but I cannot seem to see the "Go Online" Button under File-> Source Control.
I connected to TFS using Team-> Connect to Team Foundation Server option but I still don't see "Go Online" button in File-> Source Control.
Is there any other way to go online in TFS?
Version used : Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, connecting Team Foundation Server 2010.
I found out that the "File > Source Control > Go Online" menu item doesn't appear when the "Source Control Explorer" window is active.
So you will have to open a different window and\or file.
In my case, when I opened a .cs file within a project of the open solution, the "Go Online" menu item was available once again.
Try File > Source Control > Change Source Control, and then bind your solutions/projects.
You may have to delete the bindings of existing projects that failed to bind correctly.
Then close the binding dialog.
Now you can add each of the disconnected projects from your solution explorer.
This ranges somewhere between buggy and pathetic, but if you click around on sufficiently many seemingly unrelated menus, context menus, and dialogs, you may guess how to repair the TFS connection like this
This is not ideal, but another option is to close Visual Studio and open it again.
In my case whenever I get disconnected (we use TFS online) then after a drop in connectivity my VS thinks it is still offline, I cant convince it otherwise so when I restart VS it then forces it to check connectivity and then my solution is automatically back "online".
I faced the same problem when i worked on my solution when i was disconnected from tfs.
I unloaded and loaded the project i worked offline and suddenly go online option showed.
I think doing that checks out the project so that unknown bindings are removed.

Visual Studio Editor does not underline errors anymore

My Visual Studio (2008) Editor has stopped to underline Errors (this nifty wavy red lines). I can't really tell when, but it can be related to the installation of .Net Framework 3.5 SP 1 or the MVC Beta (which I guess is unlikely). Furthermore have I installed and uninstalled both CodeRush and Resharper for evaluation purposes (decided not to keep either one of them).
Does anyone know the problem and how to restore this functionality again?
Have you checked Tools→Options...→Text Editor→C#→Advanced→Underline errors in the editor?
I usually like to reset my settings after messing around with plugins, as they tend to mess with settings: Tools→Import and Export Settings...→Reset all settings.
About possible causes.
For VS 2012 and 2013 if you have more than one instance of Visual Studio on different machines binded to one "live" account and have installed ReSharper on one of them, it disables the native IntelliSense and error underlines (to replace by it's own rules) that will be synchronised through your account to another machine without ReSharper.
Found it in Visual Studio 2019 as: Tools > Options > Text Editor > General > Show error squiggles
This is generally called Disable Squiggly or Wavy lines in Visual Studio.
How you will do in Visual studio 2013?
TOOLS -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable Squiggles: True/False (Under IntelliSense) -> Press OK
I know its an old question, and with various solutions, but I have fixed it in different way. I'm working with Unity3D on my C# code using VS2017, when suddenly VS decides to stop underlining error while im typing. However, if I close the file tab and reopen, it suddenly undelines the error.
For example:
class A {
public int x;
s;
}
should obvsiouly give an error for that lonely 's' symbol. But, VS doesn't underline it until I close and reopen this file tab.
Solution:
Copied the entire Unity Project folder (which is like a regular VS Solution folder basically) and worked with the new folder, which issue was gone there.
For visual studio 2017 act according to HeeJae's comments in:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/113112/design-time-error-checking-isnt-working.html
i.e:
Hi. you are probably hitting a known issue. can you try this?
1.Update to latest release If that doesn’t solve it
2.Go to Tools\Options\Projects and Solutions\General and uncheck “Allow parallel project initialization”.
3.Close VS.
4.Delete the “.vs” directory beside their solution file.
5.Reopen VS.
..
thank you
You can re-enable the "Allow parallel project initialization" option after the issue was solved.
I tried to upgrade VS, reset VS settings, clear VS cache and everything people do conventionally but none of them solved this issue! At the end the mentioned solution worked for me magically.
Good luck
Unloading and loading same project again from the solution does the trick. Just right click on the project and click "Unload Project". Once unloaded, again right click the same project and click "Reload Project". Error highlighting will return.
I had the same issue with 2017. There was a 'disable intelisense' option, make sure that is set to false.
For everyone wondering in 2021..
search for "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles" in the settings.
Make sure to have it active for the user, as well as the workspace.
No need to restart Visual Studio.
For me (VS 2019) , after trying the other answers also, setting the scope of analysis from "Current document" to Open document" brought back the missing error markers
Just go to settings and search for errors and Image in Error Squiggles. You can see the Error squiggles (Modified: Workspace - Right now you can't see it because I modified it). Just click on modified and you will see the disabled option. If by mistake you disabled it, just enable it and you can see the red line errors again in your code.
In latest edition, check for .vscode folder in same project folder. There will be a setting.json file in that. Delete the key value pair of "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": "Disabled". Restart the vs code.
