In contrast to GitHub accounts, you can add multiple GitHub Enterprise Server accounts to Visual Studio, as long as each account targets a different endpoint.įor the time being, while you can add GitHub and GitHub Enterprise Server accounts to Visual Studio, you won’t be able to use them as a personalization account. Enter the server’s endpoint and sign in using your browser to add the account to the Visual Studio keychain. Once enabled, the “add account” flow will present you with a new dialog that gives you the option to log in using a GitHub Enterprise Server account. To enable the functionality, go to the Accounts options dialog (Tools > Options > Environment > Accounts) and enable the “Include GitHub Enterprise Server accounts” feature. While the functionality is similar, you first need to enable GitHub Enterprise Server support before you can add the accounts. Like GitHub accounts, GitHub Enterprise Server accounts can be added from both the Account Settings dialog as well as the account picker. If you need to access resources from a different account, you’ll need to remove any existing GitHub account from Visual Studio, sign out from the web (), and then restart the process for adding the new GitHub account to Visual Studio. Just like on the web and on the GitHub Desktop client, only one GitHub account can be added to Visual Studio. After that process completes, your GitHub account will be added to the account picker and become available for use.Īfter successfully adding your GitHub account from an account picker or the Account Settings dialog, it will be displayed alongside your other accounts. Starting the “add account” flow will launch a new web browser window asking for your GitHub credentials. You can add it from the Account Settings dialog (File > Account Settings…) and use it on a future session or you could add it right when your workflow requires it directly from an account picker.įor example, if you want to create a new Git repository and host it in GitHub, the new Git tooling experience allows you to add your account, and create the repository all from the same dialog. You have a couple options when it comes to adding your GitHub account.
The new functionality allows you to add and leverage them just as you do with Microsoft accounts, which means that you’ll have an easier time accessing your GitHub resources across Visual Studio.
Starting with version 16.8, you’ll be able to add both GitHub and GitHub Enterprise Server accounts directly from Visual Studio. We are happy to announce that Visual Studio 2019 now offers a fully integrated GitHub account experience.
