cloning a visual studio project from GitHub - c++

I'm trying to use Visual Studio with GitHub, so I created a remote repo from Visual Studio, and pushed my solution there (it's a C++ project).
Now I simply want to clone that repo from GitHub and run the code on another machine, but if I clone the repo I only get a .sln file. If I click on the solution file Visual Studio complains that there's no project file, so the project cannot be loaded.
What am I missing?

ZIP file replaces .VSIX from Visual Studio Marketplace

I'm using Visual Studio 2017. Our organization is blocking Visual Studio Marketplace (403 HostBrowserBlocked). Therefore, the way we normally download and install extensions is failing.
When we find a useful extension on the Visual Studio Marketplace, they want us to download a ZIP file.
What are the instructions for using this ZIP file properly? Apparently this is common knowledge because it isn't clear on the download page.
I have downloaded the ZIP file and looked for the missing VSIX file. I have copied the extracted ZIP file to "Extensions" folder of the Visual Studio installation and still failures.
It is Internet Explorer renames .vsix to .zip. You can use other web browser to download as .vsix.
Have you tried to just replace manually the file extension of the downloaded file from zip to vsix?

The docker-compose project hasn't been creating on Visual Studio 2017

I created a new webApi project (.Net Core) with Docker Support option enabled. However, the Visual Studio 2017 Community created only DockerFile. According some articles that I have read it should create also docker-compose project with the files: docker-compose.ci.Build and docker-compose.override? Does anybody know what I have to do to solve this issue? Thanks a lot.

Visual Studio 2017 do not display grunt tasks in task runner explorer

Visual Studio 2017 can open any folder instead of a .NET project.
So I opened a folder in a .NET Web Project using file->open->open folder. And the root level of that folder has Gruntfile.js, package.json and node_modules has all required node modules. However, task runner explorer does not show grunt tasks at all.
If I open the website project, e.g. file->open project/solution then grunt tasks will show up in the task runner explorer.

CSX output directory does not exist error

Today I suddenly started getting errors when I try to run/debug my Azure cloud project from Visual Studio. I'm running Visual Studio version 15.7.3 and Azure SDK version 2.9.6. The error message says:
Failed to debug the Microsoft Azure Cloud Service project. The output
directory '\csx\Debug' does not exist.
Yesterday it worked fine, but during the night Windows Update installed some updates and rebooted my machine.
I have tried the following things without success:
Created the folder myself
Set full permissions for everyone on the csx folder
Set full permissions for everyone on the parent folder to the csx folder
Uninstalled one of the updates which was installed during the night
The strange thing is that if msbuild creates the csx folder without problems, using this command:
C:\src\services2>msbuild <cloudproject>.ccproj /p:configuration=debug /maxcpucount /p:outdir="c:\OutDir" /p:overwritereadonlyfiles=true /p:targetprofile="Cloud" /target:Clean;Publish
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
After struggling with this problem for a long time, I concluded that it was a problem with Visual Studio, since msbuild worked without problems.
After running a "Repair" on Visual Studio, it now works again :-)
You run the repair by selecting Visual Studio from Settings/Apps & features and clicking "Modify":
In the Visual Studio installer, you then select "Repair":
