I am getting quite annoyed with git in Microsoft Visual Studio. I see that is chewing up my CPU and my laptop is loud as hell when I turn the IDE on. Anyone got any suggestions?

I was trying https://gist.github.com/hmemcpy/5bc6b5cc11050b502ca3 but couldn't create the file in the directory even though I am an admin.

Or perhaps give a suggestion on how to use it with git but without it chewing up memory.

  • Then how did you draw the conclusion that turning off Git will help? – Lex Li Apr 21 '20 at 22:16
  • i see it in my task manager under visual studio – Egor Apr 22 '20 at 00:18
  • I figured it out. I had a repo created by accident close to the root directory. Just had to delete it, so Git won't try to process all the files in it. – Egor Apr 22 '20 at 00:35

Making sure your files (currently part of your opened Visual Studio project) are not within a Git repository is one way.

The other is to try one of the method listed here, like:

Tools-->Options-->Source Control-->[Current Source Control Plug-in]

And select "None".

  • Thank you! I figured out why git was slowing down my visual studio, but I'll keep this link in mind. – Egor Apr 22 '20 at 21:41
