Git – Comparing Visual Studio 2022 with MeGit/EGit and SourceTree

Git – Comparing Visual Studio 2022 with MeGit/EGit and SourceTree

Mark Pelf compares the Git functionality in Visual Studio 2022 IDE to other Git GUI clients like MeGit/EGit and SourceTree in a blog post.

The post highlights that while Visual Studio 2022 has a simplified interface that makes it easier for developers with basic knowledge of version control to use, power users may require additional tools.

The article examines various aspects of Git functionality, such as viewing the history of commits, branches, tags, and refs, and recovering a dangling commit.

MeGit/EGit is shown to be closer to Git philosophy and terminology, while SourceTree and Visual Studio 2022 hide some Git internals from the user.

The author demonstrates how to view unstaged files, staged files, and the commit panel in MeGit/EGit and Visual Studio 2022.
