It seems that most .NET devs prefer something baked straight into Visual Studio and my experience has been that this is part of the problem in getting those teams to migrate to Git, which is most powerful from the command line.

Personally, I greatly prefer my source control system to be separate from my development environment or IDE.

Git's pretty well baked straight into Visual Studio now that it's built into the latest version of Team Foundation Server.

Mercurial's the one where you really want to be using it from the command line. It's had VS plugins, but they're all kind of janky by comparison.

Or use TortoiseHg or SourceTree, if you're not comfortable with the CLI. They both work great. Also, if you need to host 'your own github', try RhodeCode.

Microsoft released a git plugin for VS.
