 With the **Class Designer** tool in Visual Studio, you can design, visualize, and refactor class diagrams in C#, Visual Basic, or C++ projects. Class diagrams show the code elements and their relationships in a visual design surface, which can help you better understand your project structure and reorganize your code.

+# About Git in Visual Studio
 
 Visual Studio provides a user interface for [Git](https://git-scm.com/docs/git), a widely used modern version control system. Whether your source code is hosted in a GitHub repository, Azure DevOps, or another Git provider, you can do all the common version control tasks within the Visual Studio IDE. Or, you can work locally with no provider at all, with the option to back up your source later when you're ready to connect to a provider.
 
 The source code you work with doesn't have to have been created with Visual Studio. You can work with any source folder in any Git repo, whether there's a Visual Studio project file or not.

 When you clone a repository or open a local repository, Visual Studio switches to the Git context. Solution Explorer loads the folder at the root of the Git repository, and scans the directory tree for any viewable files like `CMakeLists.txt` or those with the `.sln` file extension.

-You are empowered to multi-task and experiment with your code through branches. If you or your team works on multiple features at the same time, or if you'd like to explore ideas without affecting your working code, branching is very helpful.

 Once you create a new branch and switch to it, you can start working by changing existing files or by adding new ones and then committing your work to the repository.

-## Performance & productivity enhancements
-
-When it comes to the integrated Git tooling within Visual Studio, we continue to iterate on performance and productivity enhancements. Here are a few notable updates:
-
-- **Commit graph**. In Visual Studio 2022 [version 17.2](/visualstudio/releases/2022/release-notes-v17.2), we introduced a commit graph feature to help reduce the delays you might experience when you're viewing your Git repository or branch history. For more information, see the [Supercharge your Git experience](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/supercharge-your-git-experience-in-vs/) blog post.
-
-- **Branch switching**. Also in Visual Studio 2022 [version 17.2](/visualstudio/releases/2022/release-notes-v17.2), we reduced the number of branch switches that need solution reloads by an estimate of 80%. To learn more, see the [Performance Enhancements: Git Branch Switching](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/vs2022-performance-enhancements-git-branch-switching/) blog post.
