Git, can I use it instead of sourcesafe or subversion?

Can Git be used the same as sourcesafe, Can I implement it directly into visual studio to check-in/out code and see history?

Thanks guys.

I've been using git for the past year or so. In my opinion the least friction comes from the command prompt/terminal.

If Visual Studio integration is important to you, and my other 2 choices were Subversion or SourceSafe, I'd certainly go with Subversion. VisualSVN is an incredible product and well worth the price of admission.

As others have said git is a much different paradigm in the SCM world and should, in my opinion be explored without prior conceptions of how source control should work.

gitextensions provides one. However, fundementally git operates in a very different way to sourcesafe, so you have to learn git.

If looking for something more robust than sourcesafe, but working much the same way, then consider Sourcegear's Vault - it was designed to be a drop-in replacement.

This project apparently has an extension for Visual Studio. I haven't tried it myself, though, I'm afraid.

There's a very similar question on here that you might want to look at...
