So Visual Studio for Mac being used for new code you create new Git repo(s) and still have everything in the same Team Project / backlog. – Sacha K May 18 '17 at 19:15 Yeah, been doing that for a while, but most of the code at my workplace is in a large TFVC mega repo, I've been pushing for git for new stuff. So, Bower is dead for Visual Studio. NPM and WebPack are external tools and overkill if all you really want to do is add a simple open source project like Bootstrap-Datepicker.
