Associate git with solution in VS2010

Question

I noticed the TFS and Ankh (svn) plugins for VS2010 will annotate the .sln file with a GlobalSection that associates the solution with the corresponding source control provider. So when opening a solution will automatically tell VS to switch to that SCP. However the git plugin (combination of "git source control provider" and "git extensions for windows") does not do this.

So whenever I open a git solution, VS just uses whatever the last source control provider I was using the previous time I used VS for any solution, so I have to go through the Tools/Options menu and update it manually every time I open a git solution.

Is there a GlobalSection that will tell VS to use git, or some other way to allow VS2010 to detect that it's a git repo?

Answer 1

You can use this in .sln files

GlobalSection(GitScc) = preSolution
    Git-Managed = True
    Manager = Git Source Control Provider
EndGlobalSection
