to Connect Them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>For developers worldwide, GitHub has become the go-to platform for storing and collaborating on coding projects. It&#8217;s an ideal tool for keeping track of code changes in a VCS environment. Meanwhile, Visual Studio is a powerful IDE that helps developers create robust software solutions for a variety of platforms.<\/p>\n<p>When you combine GitHub with Visual Studio, you can improve your development workflow. Using these two tools together provides features such as version control and code reviewing, making it easier to make changes to your codebase.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Install_GitHub_Extension_for_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 1: Install GitHub Extension for Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step to connect GitHub to Visual Studio is to install the GitHub Extension for Visual Studio.
