	I have Visual Studio 2019 + Visual Micro installed and of course the Arduino IDE. I have repositories already established for Arduino IDE sketchbook directories that I am currently using. These repositories work with the Arduino IDE stand alone and I can also open the folders directly from VS 2019. The GitHub desktop app will recognize changes to these folders made in VS 2019 and I can push them up to GitHub using the desktop app. All good so far. However, this leaves the github extension in VS 2019 in the dark (it does not recognize the changes because there is no repository associated from VS 2019). My question is, given that scenario, what is the best practice? Should I point VS 2019 github extension to the existing local repositories in the Arduino sketchbook directory or should I clone new repositories just for VS 2019 from the master?

	It should be the same as when working with a Visual Studio C++ project. We don't do anything that would prevent all source control options from working with the project. It isn't clear if you understand the difference between a Visual Studio project/solution v's opening a source code folder for view.

	In Visual Studio I opened each of my current Arduino IDE projects using the vMicro Open>Arduino Project, then saved them. This created all the necessary Visual Studio files. So, Ive got that bit resolved. Getting the Github repositories sync up is not a vMicro issue so I will follow up on that via the Github extension.
