<h1>Git Source Control Provider 2015</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Alternative Git integration with Visual Studio 2015. It works in the solution explorer and has a pending changes window. It also works with multiple repositories in one solution. So if you like any of these features or you are not a fan of the built in TFS style Git integration that comes with Visual Studio, this may be the plugin for you. </p>

<h2>Questions / Bugs </h2>
<li>If you have any questions, find any bugs, have a awesome idea for a new feature or just want to say hi, head on over to the <a href="https://github.com/jzoss/Git-Source-Control-Provider">github</a></li> site. 


<h2>Latest:</h2>
<p>15.0 - Release 15 is the largest, most complex release since this code was forked from the original plug-in. It focued on performance and stability.  To fix many of these issue much of the code had to be rewritten. It has been updated to use the new asynchronous frameworks. It took many late nights and lots extra time to get this release out, so I hope you enjoy it.</p>
