I’d like to have a tool window in Visual Studio that allows me to type command line things (e.g. git stash, npm install, etc.) in the current project’s working directory. Something like this in Eclipse.

I can’t find any such option in any of the menus, but admittedly they’re labyrinthine. I tried looking through the Visual Studio gallery, but no dice either. Any extension or hidden option that would give me this?

PowerShell would probably also work, as from what I understand that’s a superset of the regular shell.

    In Visual Studio 11, the NuGet Package Manager Console is a fully featured PowerShell console. You can do all kinds of things there, including file system operations, git/hg/svn/tfs commands, etc.

    You also can customize the experience with a special PowerShell profile called NuGet_profile.ps1.

    Installing the NuGet VSIX from the Visual Studio gallery will get you a similar experience in VS2010 if I’m not mistaken.
