If you haven't already cd MySolution

, but are still in the directory you made from git clone

, just type

start MySolution/MySolution.sln

and click Enter.



This will open whatever version of Visual Studio you currently have set to open with files .sln

on Windows.

If you don't mind using PowerShell, try WhatsNew . Once installed, you can simply type sln

to open the solution file in this directory.
