Visual Studio 2019 v16.8 updates

  Git integration

Some repositories have multiple solutions. Now, when opening such a repository, Solution Explorer will display a list of solutions to choose from. By default, the folder view is always on top. This will open the root folder of the repository, which can be accessed by double-clicking on a solution in the list. Additionally, you can use the Switch View button in the Solution Explorer toolbar to return to the view list to easily move between solutions in the repository.

If there is only one solution in the repository, Visual Studio loads the solution view by default. Also, if there are no solutions in the repository, Visual Studio will open the folder view by default. This feature can be enabled/disabled using the Preview Feature checkbox in Tools | Options.

New Git experience: When you are a Guest in a Live Share session, you can now view the contents of the Git window in read-only mode.

In this version, you can also click to switch between branch histories.
