How to integrate gitext to VS 2017?

Viewed 2525

After I install it, it doesn't show up as a menu anywhere.

Am I missing something or does it not support vs2017?

I don't now why, but GitExtensionsVSIX.vsix provided in GitExtension release version 2.51.02, fails to install because it lacks some files inside. @raghav answer works, but it has older version (2.50.02 in 30\05\2018). But GitExtensionsVSIX.vsix 2.51.02 could be fixed:

  1. unpack GitExtensionsVSIX.vsix as it is zip archive.
  2. add files manifest.json and catalog.json from contents of @raghav answer's GitExtensionsVSIX.vsix.
  3. update version in that files to 2.51.02.
  4. Update sha 256 hashes in manifest.json.
  5. Add <Default Extension="json" ContentType="application/json" /> to Types in [Content_Types].xml.
  6. zip-pack all files.
  7. rename extension to ".vsix".
  8. Install.
