I've set up Visual Studio 2010 in order to use Git from the Package Manager Console, more precisely:
- I've installed msysgit (adding Git executables under
%PATH%
); - I've installed Posh Git and I've enabled it using the instructions given in this SO answer.
I've also installed GitHub for Windows for easy access to repositories hosted on GitHub.
From the Package Manager Console I am able to do all the operation locally, but when I want to push to a GitHub repository the prompt seems "blocked", I cannot kill git
using the Stop button and I'm forced to close Visual Studio and to push from the Git Shell provided with GitHub for Windows.
Using Process Explorer I can see that git
spawn the GitHub for Windows program to do the authentication and from there it doesn't seem to advance.
