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.
- Install the VISX File
- You may need to manually enable the toolbar in Visual Studio: Views -> Toolbars -> TortoiseGit
By default the extention finds the executable file of TortoiseGit/GitBash from the standard paths. For TortoiseGit it is 'C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoiseGitProc.exe' or 'D:\Program Files (x86)\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoiseGitProc.exe'; for GitBash it is 'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe'.
If your executable files are not in the standart path, you can specify them in '(Path of My Documents)\Visual Studio 2013\Extensions\TortoiseGitToolbar\config.ini', e.g.
[path]
TortoiseGit=E:\Applications\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoiseGitProc.exe
GitBash=E:\Applications\Git\bin\sh.exe
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.

By clicking the dropdown arrow next to the toolbar and selecting Add/Remove Buttons, you can check/uncheck different commands to create your own customised list. For example, if you rarely use the TortoiseGit rebase UI, you can easily hide it from the toolbar.
