This is a Visual Studio extension provides a git changes tool window, a graphical git history viewer and menus to launch Git Bash, Git Extenstions and TortoiseGit.
The same set of Git tools were developed in Git Source Control Provider for Visual Studio 2008-2013. Since Visual Studio 2013, Microsoft has built Microsoft Git provider. There is only one source control provider can beused in Visual Studio at a time. This extension is a modification of Git Source Control Provider. It removed the source control provider and contains the Git tools only, so that it makes the Git tools compatible with Microsoft Git provider.
