We’re pleased to announce that version 2.0 of the GitHub Extension for Visual Studio is now available. You can install it directly from the Tools and Extensions gallery in Visual Studio, as well as from our releases page and our website.
This release allows you to list your existing pull requests and create new ones directly from Visual Studio. You can also create gists directly from your code, making it even easier to share your code and collaborate. It also includes a slew of other enhancements and fixes, available in our release notes.

As we focus our efforts on building workflows targeted towards maintainers and contributors, we’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can improve our tools. Let us know what works and what doesn’t and how to make your coding and collaboration workflows easier.
