New Git Features in Visual Studio 2017 Update 6

This post introduces new Git features in Visual Studio 2017 Update 6. It enables users to push, delete, and view all Git tags within their repository, supporting both annotated and lightweight tags. Additionally, for Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) users, it allows checking out pull request branches directly within Visual Studio, simplifying the process of reviewing, testing, and building changes without leaving the IDE. The post also recommends configuring Git fetches to prune remote branches during fetch to maintain an up-to-date local branches list.
