Visual Studio has built in hooks for adding in source control support. It's not really MS's fault that few take advantage of this. Whenever you create a solution one option is "add to source control", it's up to your current source control extension to take and run with it if you do check that box. In Tools > Options > Source Control, you can choose your source control plugin. With that said, I never use source control within Visual Studio. I always have good ol' bash running git off to the side. I much prefer my IDE not know nor try to do too much, it often ends up in disaster.
