Hello all,

we are about to switch from Microsofts VSS to GIT as our new Source Control System.

My question is can anyone recommend a plugin, so that we still can use the "Options for Projects under Source Control"?

Thanks

Axel

VS 2012 -\> Tools -\> Extensions and Update -\> Search “git”. There is 250K downloads, so it’s popular and up to date. [http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/63a7e40d-4d71-4fbb-a23b-d262124b8f4c](http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/63a7e40d-4d71-4fbb-a23b-d262124b8f4c)

I also use GithubSetup.exe from github as it’s a very nice WPF app for basic repository syncing. I also install TortoiseGit to get windows Explorer right click GIT commands and Git commandline components for Final Builder and continua.   
 PS. I found the Mecurial tooling much more user friendly for first time DVCS because it tracked file renames and moves with all the history and the tortoise hg UI was much better - 2 cents.
