Notify on incoming commits in Visual Studio?

Is there an extension to visual studio which will notify me when there are new commits pushed to my branch?

I like how Visual Studio Code shows "incomming commits" in the status bar and I miss this feature in Visual Studio.

The reason I would like to be notified is that I usually want to pull incomming commits as soon as possible so I can avoid merge commits.

Git doesn't have push notifications for new commits. You could run git fetch every several minutes. Following thread introduce how to poll every several minutes with powershell script.
