## History



Git Tools and Git Tools 2019 are the successors of [Git Source Control Provider](https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/63a7e40d-4d71-4fbb-a23b-d262124b8f4c).



[Git Source Control Provider](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yysun.GitSourceControlProvider) was the Visual Studio extension for Visual Studio 2008/2010. It integrates Git tools to Visual Studio as a source control provider since Visual Studio 2008 ([Github Project](https://github.com/yysun/Git-Source-Control-Provider)) ([InfoQ News](https://www.infoq.com/news/2010/06/Git-Visual-Studio)). Starting in Visual Studio 2013, Microsoft has built the Microsoft Git provider into Visual Studio, but Visual Studio remains allowing only one active source control provider at a time. [Git Tools](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yysun.GitTools) is modified from the Git Source Control Provider to become a standalone extension. It is compatible with Microsoft Git and can run side by side with Microsoft Git.



Visual Studio 2019 has a new asynchronous extension architecture. [Git Tools 2019](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yysun.git-tools-2019) is modified from Git Tools to adopt the new architecture. It is compiled from the VS2019 branch.
