Visual Studio Terminal

Visual Studio Code includes a fully featured integrated terminal that conveniently starts at the root of your workspace. It provides integration with the editor to support features like links and error detection. To open the terminal: Use the Ctrl+` keyboard shortcut with the backtick character. Opening Windows Terminal from another application is a bit of a pain. In particular I wanted to open Windows Terminal as an External Tool from Visual Studio and found it wasn't as easy as referencing the `wt.exe` executable. Opening as an Administrator adds additional complexity. In this post I'll talk about the use case of an External Tools and the settings to launch both a regular and admin.

Update: Visual Studio Community 2019 – Git Integration
The git integration with Visual studio is great. Ample sound agh torrent mac. It is able to find all the git repositories on your machine and show them all nicely in the team explorer.


However, when working with git, it is very useful to see the actual command line output. Using the GUI can obscure what is actually going on.
TFVC source control has the same problem, as when getting the latest changes, you don’t automatically see everything that’s happening, unless you take the time to open the Output window and navigate to the TFVC Output, where with the default settings you only see updated files in a list.

The command line is what really lets you see the details of what’s happening, as well as giving you the ability to try out all the commands and options, not all of which are available from within visual studio.
Below we can see all the details associated with a git pull from a remote repository. Insertions, deletions, and associated counts are neatly laid out and colored in green and red.


How to Quickly Open the Command Prompt with the Project Directory
To quickly get started with the command prompt, it is very helpful to be able to open it directly in the path for the current project. To do this right click on the local git repository in VS and select open command prompt.

This opens a cmd.exe window opened to the project directory. I don’t like having to use tools outside the IDE unless absolutely necessary, as the context switching can slow productivity.

TerminalVisual

Starting with Version 16.6, git functionality is accessible from within Visual Studio without installing an additional extension.
A new Git menu appears in the window title bar. I had some difficulty getting this menu to appear in my environment, but I eventually got it to work by toggling the “New git user experience” in the Preview Features of settings. For most users, the Git menu should appear by default by installing the new version of Visual Studio.
