Add Extension To Visual Studio For Mac

Active2 years, 3 months ago

Visual Studio Code is a pretty cool editor (I’m almost tempted to use it for coding and downgrade Sublime to be my text editor at this point), too. The Extension is very simple, again. In this case, it contains just one single Action, a simple one at that. Reported by Vanessa Flores 10 hours ago visual studio for mac. I am unable to add any extensions on Visual Studio Community 2017 for Mac. The option to add an extension is not in the Tools dropdown. To create a custom extension, we need to install the Extensibility extension installed to Visual Studio 2017. Once that the Extensibility extension is installed, we can start creating any new extension. Once the project is created, add New item to the project by clicking Add-> New Item.

The only two options I can see are git and subversion. I tried entering the url using the subversion option and it did ask me for credentials but the correct credentials never worked.

Visual Studio for Mac is an evolution of Xamarin Studio, and includes all the functionality of Xamarin Studio 6.2. Many changes have been made to the look-and-feel, terminology and default settings to to align more closely with Visual Studio, while remaining a Mac-centred development experience.

TFS can use either TFVC (Team Foundation Version Control) or Git for the source control part. You don't have to use an external Git server, it has an internal one - with the data stored in the TFS SQL database. You create your first repo when you create the Team Project, but you can add repos later and you can mix TFVC and Git repos in the same Team Project - since 2015.2 I think.

Microsoft is still in the denial and marketing speak phase but TFVC is basically dead, even Microsoft is using Git for all their new repos. I'm ready to bet Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio for Mac will never connect to TFVC.

Edit: I lost my bet for Visual Studio Code, it can connect to TFVC using the Visual Studio Team Services extension since version 1.116.0 (2017/04/12).
