Tutorial: Open a project from a repo

In this tutorial, you’ll use Visual Studio to connect to a repository for the first time, clone it, and then open a project from it.

If you haven’t already installed Visual Studio, go to the Visual Studio downloads page to install it for free.

Open a project from a GitHub repo

Visual Studio makes it easy to open a project from a repo. You can do so when you start Visual Studio, or you can do so directly from within the Visual Studio IDE.

Use the start window

Open Visual Studio.

On the start window, select Clone a repository.

Enter or type the repository location, and then select the Clone button.

You might be asked for your user sign-in information in the Git User Information dialog box. You can either add your information or edit the default information it provides.

For more information about signing in to Visual Studio, see the Sign in to Visual Studio page. For specific information about how to use your GitHub account to sign in, see the Work with GitHub accounts in Visual Studio page. And if you receive a trust notification and want to know more about it, see the Configure trust settings for files and folders page.

View files in Solution Explorer

Next, Visual Studio loads the solution(s) from the repository by using the Folder View in Solution Explorer.

Or, you can select the Switch Views button, and then select Program.cs to view a solution’s code.

The default view is set to Folder View. You can change it to Solution View from the Git menu. Select Settings > Source Control > Git Global Settings > Automatically load the solution when opening a Git repository to do so.

Open a project locally from a previously cloned GitHub repo

Open Visual Studio.

On the start window, select Open a project or solution.

Visual Studio opens an instance of File Explorer, where you can browse to your solution or project, and then select it to open it.

If you’ve opened the project or solution recently, select it from the Open recent section to quickly open it again.

Use the IDE

You can also use the Git menu or the Select Repository control in the Visual Studio IDE to interact with a repository’s folders and files.

To clone a repo and open a project

In the Visual Studio IDE, select the Git menu, and then select Clone Repository.

Follow the prompts to connect to the Git repository that includes the files you’re looking for.

To open local folders and files

In the Visual Studio IDE, select the Git menu, select Local Repositories, and then select Open Local Repository.

Alternatively, you can perform the same task from Solution Explorer. To do so, choose the Select Repository control, select the ellipsis icon that’s next to the Filter repositories box, and then select Open Local Repository.

Follow the prompts to connect to the Git repository that has the files you’re looking for.

You-Get is a tiny command-line utility to download media contents (videos, audios, images) from the Web, in case there is no other handy way to do it.

Here’s how you use you-get to download a video from YouTube:

And here’s why you might want to use it:

What you-get can do for you:

Are you a Python programmer? Then check out the source and fork it!

The following dependencies are recommended:

Option 1: Install via pip

The official release of you-get is distributed on PyPI, and can be installed easily from a PyPI mirror via the pip package manager. Note that you must use the Python 3 version of pip :

Option 2: Install via Antigen (for Zsh users)

Option 3: Download from GitHub

to install you-get to a permanent path.

You can also use the pipenv to install the you-get in the Python virtual environment.

Option 4: Git clone

This is the recommended way for all developers, even if you don’t often code in Python.

Option 5: Homebrew (Mac only)

You can install you-get easily via:

Option 6: pkg (FreeBSD only)

(If a YouTube video has any closed captions, they will be downloaded together with the video file, in SubRip subtitle format.)

Or, if you prefer another format (mp4), just use whatever the option you-get shows to you:

Note:

Download anything else

If you already have the URL of the exact resource you want, you can download it directly with:
