Exact Link to VS C++ Download and I am Using GitHub

I just started with a clean install.  Could someone recommend a download link for me to develop Visual Studio C++ (stable) with.  I don't know if I'll be programming in other languages, it's possible I guess.  I want to use GitHub for projects with others.  I am using Windows 10.  I was using Visual Studio 2015 something and it was free...

Thank you,

Josheir

Most likely you'll be wanting VIsual Studio Community 2017, which is free to use.

Hello to all my stalkers.

It also comes with git integrated into it. 

I added the extension for GitHub and had some success, but I can't seem to get property pages or any build buttons to work, they are all grayed out.

Can anyone help me?

Sincerely,

Josheir

VS2017 has a mode where the solution explorer browses folders before you've opened a solution - Perhaps this is what you're seeing?

Make sure you actually open a .sln file.

The IDE now is more functioning.

There is a visual studio installer page to visual studio.  I modified the first 5 optional and checked options.  It completed with warnings so I am concerned.  There is a repair feature.  I don't know what the warnings were about.  There are also 11 other available options.  Some that look interesting are:

C++/CLI support

standard library modules   (I'm thinking I need this for containers, etc?)

three windows 10 sdks

a 2015.3 v140 toolset

incredibuild  (maybe for editing smart completion?)

 

What is suggested, should I install the other optional eleven options?

The other options are:

windows 8.1 sdk

windows xp support

mfc and atl

clang/cli

 

Thank you,

Josheir
