Configure Visual Studio to use system-installed Git.exe

Question

Visual Studio 2017 ships with its own version of Git. Unfortunately, it doesn\'t have support for SSH and it doesn\'t include a root certificate for the issuer for SSL

Answer 1

I have used a symbolic link to the system installed git folder location. 32-bit or 64 bit works. This way I did not have to have multiple git installations. The Problem with this method is, when Visual Studio is updated, it will break the installed git with its version, so the link has to be removed.

Not a perfect answer, I agree that it would be nice to have a way to use the system installed version or configure the embedded version.
