Add 'submit Git commit' to the growing list of developer tasks in Visual Studio 2022 that are now being handled by AI.

Microsoft has been mapping out plans to improve its Git Virtual File System (GVFS), including linking it to the Visual Studio IDE and getting it supported in third-party Git clients.

The Git Experience is available as the default source control experience in Visual Studio 2019 as of version 16.8.

This means Visual Studio users, for example, can now use GitHub and other Git-compatible repositories to host and manage their projects.

Microsoft announced on Wednesday that Visual Studio and Team Foundation Service (TFS) will fully support and integrate with Git source control.

Also the Visual Studio tooling support for Git is almost blank. The compiled version of the add-in is available in the Visual Studio Gallery.

Along with .NET 5, Microsoft today shipped Visual Studio 2019 v16.8, which sees Git turned on by default as the version control experience in the latest update of the company's flagship IDE.

Microsoft announced Wednesday that it is adding git support to TFS and Visual Studio, putting the distributed version control system on an equal footing with its current centralized system.

Visual Studio 2022 17.6 brings significant performance, editor, and C++ enhancements, while a version 17.7 preview adds more productivity improvements.
