NT development using Visual Studio with Github

[tgn55]

Hi,
looking for tips from users on integrating Github (via Visual Studio) with my NT code development... eg how/where is it best to create repositories etc.

Thanks in advance,
T.

Hi tgn, thanks for posting.

Git goes beyond the scope of support I am able to provide, use at your own risk. The best place to make the root directory would be Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom. I have not used git with Visual Studio, I use git commands through the command prompt, so you can either add the git repo through Visual Studio and research how that works, or just use the CLI. To initialize a git repo through the command prompt, navigate to bin/Custom then run
"git init", "git add .", "git commit -m "first commit"

Best regards,
-ChrisL

Thanks Chris...hope some other users may have experience using it with VS... which I do all my coding in rather than the NT editor...so am really keen to integrate with VS.

Cheers,
T.

Hi T,

I too use VS and Git with repos in Azure DevOps. I would be happy to share BKMs.
