Originally posted by d000hg View PostCarved out an evening for a new coding project and needed to install VS, so thought I'd try the Mac version. Installed fine, looks nice... until I want to use version control. I've got a repo on GitHub but 4 hours later I've entered my password about 30 times, had VS delete my solution a couple of times, but can I get it to push... can I ****.
I even managed to clone the remote repo on about the 15th attempt from VS, then created a new solution in that directory. Thought I'd cracked it. Until I come to push and now VS says it doesn't have any remotes to push to.
I don't see how it can be so bad. On Windows it works very smoothly. Integration with GitHub should be seamless, especially on Mac where they are presumably targeting users not so familiar. I've been using this stuff since Visual Studio 6 (20 years?) what chance does anyone else have!
However, there are a few things it cannot do that VS can.
Alas … it also costs.Last edited by mogga71; 20 June 2021, 20:26.Comment

It's a rebrand of the next (Autumn 2021) Windows 10 release as it makes sense user interface changes to screw things up.Last edited by eek; 21 June 2021, 15:47.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
