barsv / tortoisegittoolbar

Lightweight toolbar for launching commonly used TortoiseGit functionality from within Visual Studio.

Introduction

This toolbar provides a launcher for functionality within TortoiseGit.

Installing the lightweight toolbar will allow access to these common source control functions from anywhere in Visual Studio, allowing you to quickly hit a shortcut or click a button to launch Commit, Push, Pull, Log, Resolve or Bash windows.

This toolbar simply launches TortoiseGit commands. Further integration with Git is not planned - for more complex usage scenarios you should take a look at the Visual Studio Tools for Git.

Installation instructions

1. Install the VISX File
2. You may need to manually enable the toolbar in Visual Studio: Views -> Toolbars -> TortoiseGit

Default shortcuts

You can opt into these default shortcuts by removing the default shortcut for CTRL+G (Go To Line).

To customise these shortcuts open up Tools -> Options -> Keyboard and show commands containing TortoiseGit.
