![]() ![]() Visit this repository to learn how to leverage our image offerings to create your own custom images. This new offer provides a clean slate for developers who might want to customize the Visual Studio installation or have different needs. It contains all the same optimizations from the Visual Studio images, but it does not have Visual Studio pre-installed. ![]() In addition to those improvements, we recently released a new developer focused Windows client image. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve refined the Visual Studio 2022 & Visual Studio 2019 offers, and the latest updates will provide a more focused developer experience by removing apps, features and services that are not relevant or divert system resources away from your development activities. These Visual Studio images can be used in standalone Azure VM instances, and they are also compatible with the Dev Box service. We’ll share more about these optimizations in the upcoming weeks, but in the meantime, please send any feedback or questions via this Developer Community ticket.Ī couple months ago we announced new developer focused images for the Azure marketplace. Together these improvements will allow you to have a more productive and fully optimized developer session with each new Dev Box you create. In addition to those improvements, we are working towards speeding up git-related operations by pre-generating the commit graph. Not only will you be able to load things faster, but you’ll also have a faster experience with search, incremental builds & unit testing thanks to the pre-computed cache being available right from the start. This allows Visual Studio to open your solutions much faster and give you access to your favorite IDE features sooner. However, with Dev Box we can now pre-generate this data and make it available to Visual Studio even before you log in to a new Dev Box. That’s because Visual Studio needs to index files and generate metadata to enable the full suite of IDE capabilities. When working on large projects, it can sometimes take a considerable amount of time for Visual Studio to load and allow you to get started with your work. The fastest out-of-the-box Visual Studio yet We are excited about the opportunity to further improve the identity space and hope to hear your feedback and requests via Developer Community. ![]() With this improvement, you’ll be able to leverage your signed-in Windows identity to seamlessly provide credentials when accessing Azure DevOps repositories. While some of these improvements are still in the planning phase, I’m happy to give you a quick preview of the identity improvements the GCM (Git Credential Manager) project is currently working on and plans to make available around June. Because of that, we are collaborating with teams and projects outside of Visual Studio to build together a cohesive identity experience for you. We understand you need multiple tools to accomplish your development tasks. Identity improvements beyond Visual Studio streamline your Dev Box experience! We’ll share more details later this week, but in the meantime, please send any feedback or questions via Developer Community. This will help simplify how you share or edit settings between installs or amongst your team. Not only will the settings roam across your Dev Boxes, making the initial setup a breeze, but they’ll also be eligible for sharing and exporting in a human-readable JSON file. With Unified Settings, you’ll be able to easily consume and share all your personal and team Visual Studio settings. With that in mind, I’m happy to share that we are working on a new and improved settings functionality, which we are calling Unified Settings. We understand it is critical for your productivity to have your development environment set up just the way you like. Unified Settings will make it easier than ever to set your environment Not only will Visual Studio automatically sign you in, but soon after all your roaming settings such as theme colors, will be applied without needing any input from you. ![]() That’s because Visual Studio automatically signs you in based on the identity you used to create and login into the Dev Box. An experience that revolves around your identityĪs soon as you launch Visual Studio on a Dev Box, you’ll notice that you longer need to enter your credentials. Starting with the 17.7 previews, Visual Studio 2022 includes several new features designed to make it easier to onboard to a dev box and boost your overall Visual Studio performance. ![]()
