One of the windows I use the most is the Changes window within Team Explorer. Don't get me wrong, I'm very comfortable at the command line, but the built in diff view in VS works really well for me, and sometimes it's just handy to stay in your IDE. I know the concept of a git UI is an abomination for some people, but for some things I really like it. You can do a lot from within VS, including staging and commiting obviously, but also merging, rebasing, managing branches (both local and remote), viewing the commit history and a whole host of other options.
Git integration in Visual Studioįor those that don't know, Visual Studio has come with built in support for Git repositories for some time. That might seem like a minor change, but it actually solves a number of the issues I had in using git in my daily VS2015 work. Some of these improvements are due to a switch in the way the Git integration works - instead of relying on libgit, VS2017 has switched to using Git.exe for all your Git interactions. Among other things, SSH support is built it, you can push -force-with-lease, and easily diff commits. Visual Studio 2017 includes a whole host of improvements to its Git integration.
