The technical term to get code from a Git repository for the first time is to clone the repository. This is fine but there is actually a better way to grab code from Git repositories through Visual Studio. Nevertheless, I often see people getting code from Git repositories by downloading a zip file, unzipping it and then opening it up in Visual Studio. It is a very convenient way to distribute code samples so that developers can browse the code through Visual Studio and eventually run it and toy with it. There are lots of open source projects hosted on Git repositories as well as bloggers and authors publishing demos, patterns and code samples on web-hosted Git repositories such as GitHub, Bitbucket, Codeplex (Note: Codeplex has several source control options and Git is just one of them)….
