Disabling Visual Studio Git Provider
Raw
undef.md

Here's how to disable the package that is responsible for loading the Git source control support in Visual Studio. Use at your own risk!

  • Create a file called devenv.pkgundef and place it next to devenv.exe in you Visual Studio's Common7\IDE (you'll need elevation for this)
  • Add the following entries to the file:
[$RootKey$\Packages\{7fe30a77-37f9-4cf2-83dd-96b207028e1b}]
[$RootKey$\SourceControlProviders\{11b8e6d7-c08b-4385-b321-321078cdd1f8}]
  • Close VS if open, open a Developer command prompt, and type devenv /updateconfiguration
  • Start VS, and voilla - Git support no more!

To undo, delete the devenv.pkgundef file, and run devenv /updateconfiguration again.

For me the pkgundef method works on VS 17.7.5 but the file should be named as master.pkgundef.

For me, in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional" Rename VssProvider.dll and Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Git.Provider.dll to *.bak will disable Git integration.

sure it works (but mine studio is 2022), but visual studio can not compile anything now, it crashes and restarts. So hate this integration. Now i think only temporary renaming .git folder in project can be useful
