Maybe create a plugin for Visual Studio, like GitHub does. Also try to work with JetBrains to make their GitHub plugin work with GitLab? The GitHub plugin is available during installation, both with Visual Studio and JetBrains products, which makes it much more convenient to use. Things like creating a gist from code in IntelliJ or PyCharm also work out of the box with github.

We're exploring the VisualStudio option but as Job said we currently don't have the knowledge to make that happen. I've logged an issue for this request https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20686 you can back it and follow it there.

As for JetBrains, we discussed this option with them - it would help if you create an issue for that on their platform as a user request to surface it. The more demand their users will have for this request the more likely it is to happen.

We're looking into both options, but don't have internal knowledge or capacity to build this ourselves at the moment.

There are some plugins listed here [0], but we hope to have official plugins in the future.
