Visual Studio Window Title Changer Extension

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=IstvanPasztor.VisualStudioWindowTitleChanger

Changes the Visual Studio Window Title by evaluating a user defined expression. Extremely helpful when working with multiple branches of the same project.

Script I use to see current branch in TFS (path) or GIT (git branch) in title:

if( sln_open ) {
if (exec git_branch 2 "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD" sln_dir) {
//GIT
sln_filename + (exec git_branch 2 "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD" sln_dir ? " - git["+git_branch+"]" + " - Visual Studio 2015")
} 
else 
{ 
//TFS or Standard project
sln_filename + " - (" + sln_dir +")" + " - " + "Visual Studio 2015"
} 
}
else {
//No solution open
"Visual Studio 2015"
}

 

Run, monitor, and manage builds for TFS/VSTS from Visual Studio

…
In Visual Studio 2015:
You can run, monitor, and manage your builds from the Builds page

If you’re not already connected to the team project that you want to work in, then connect to the team project.
Choose Home icon Home, and then choose Builds Icon Builds (Keyboard: Ctrl + 0, B).
