Can I just add to this that codeproject is usually right on top of clearing their moderated items so if something gets flagged my experience is it doesn't take horribly long for it to get checked, nor does it disappear forever once flagged like it does on a lot of sites. Someone will get to it eventually. I like that about this place.

As I've never posted spam here before and I've been using my account for years, I still find it dumb that CodeProject is just assuming my rare but sincere new posts are spam. It's a weird flex, when at least a little AI could be applied to save the human moderators some effort.

not using git in 2020? 
|
|
|
|

I still use TortoiseSVN for our legacy SVN repository and TortoiseGIT for our new repositories.
One of my colleagues however claims:

We use git via visual studio 2019 now and devops.
I have never tried TortoiseGIT. Used to use TortoiseSVN back in 2012.
We migrated everything over to DevOps and Git repos, last year.

devops is a service provider or a concept(DevOps)?

Now available: Azure DevOps Server 2019 | Azure Blog and Updates | Microsoft Azure[^]
and this integrates very nicely with VS 2019 and Git. Git is used internally in VS, so that you technically can do almost all of your Git commands through an easy to use GUI in VS, no command line stuff....unless you want to.
You can also point VS Git source control to another provider such as MS GitHub, etc. You don't have to use DevOps as your source control provider/server.
fyi - azure dev ops used to be TFS.

your link is great. I will take a look..

Check my signature, released just last week! 
Azure DevOps is basically a tool by Microsoft that enables you to practice DevOps (the development method).

We've used both, and now just use Git in VS2019.
The "everyone has a copy of everything" mentality of Git has saved us a few times.

I used a paid SVN service long time ago, and TortoiseSVN works very well since then...

git and svn are different configuration management tools, git is not a "better" version of SVN.
git uses a decentralized approach which is an overkill in most small team use-cases.

Used this in a job some years ago. I wish I could remember specific details, but I read at the time that there were issues in a Windows environment depending on something or other (and that's the condition I can't remember, sorry!).
However, one evening, I've been running the project I was working on and doing tests. Next morning it won't build. I found 40+ files that had all changed in the space of one second, when I had been at home.
Not saying it was anything to do with T-SVN - could have been an issues with the company's automated backup process, but something BAD happened!

And I've just found a way that I can lose it, at least in Outlook.
Outlook is a special case for me: it has half a monitor dedicated to it, because it's always there. always running, and - pretty much - always busy ... 
But the Ribbon takes up a big chunk of space, and since the things I use most often aren't associated with "normal" keys I end up with the damn ribbon blocking my screen most of the time.
Except on my Surface, where there is a small, neat set of keys that do much of what I want: Toggle "Read" status, reply, delete, flag ... which isn't on my desktop.
And I just worked out it's "Touch mode" which enables it. So I can hide the stupid Ribbon, and just remember "F9 is refresh, not F5" and gain a good chunk of space back!
(If you want to try it, click the "Customise Quick Access Toolbar" in the top right, and enable the "Touch / Mouse Mode" button. In Touch mode, it's there, in Mouse mode, it's not).

In Word you can unpin it so it only appears when you click a top level menu item (something I just learned).
|
|
|
|
|
In Outlook you can unpin like in Word, Excel, Access ...
strg + F1
or
ctrl + F1

+5 just for ribbon hate! But did they eliminate the dropdown carat? In 2010 version there is a dropdown carat at the top-right position of the screen that pins and unpins the ribbon.

Yes it does. Want a copy?

I wasn't sure if that subject was a pun (because the ribbon is literally right at the top, get it?)
Don't share your hate though.
It's just a menu bar with buttons for the things I supposedly use the most.

It's a menu bar that is 30mm tall (on this Surface) and shows maybe a dozen things. Compare that with a toolbar in VS: 5mm high, 5mm wide per button - so my precious screen real estate isn't covered, and I can get dozens of functions on there. If I need to find something I don't recognise the picture for, I can mouse hover for a tooltip. Why force us to waste space I could use for reading the actual message?
