I am trying to install GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio for Mac as an extension. However, there is no option "Manage Extensions" in VS for Mac as shown here.
Is it possible to add it somehow?
As mentioned in the comment, As of now (Nov 2022) this feature is not yet released for Visual Studio Mac. You can also follow this Github discussions

In my Visual Studio Extension for VS 2019, I am currently using Visual Studio SDK version 16.0.202. This is the oldest version with Major Version 16.
If I update the version of the Visual Studio SDK, for example to 16.10, will that require users of my extension to update their version of Visual Studio as well?
Put another way, if I want my extension to support all versions of Visual Studio 2019, do I have to have to stay with the 16.0 version of the SDK?
It is a good question, but I would be surprised if this is true. The libraries provided by Visual Studio, for your purposes specifically (extensibility), shouldn't change the major version numbers. Over the years, I have created many versions of visual studio packages, and I never had this problem. I always use the latest version of the SDK available, since they are actively fixing bugs. However, they may always screw up. Also, if you use internal Visual Studio libraries, not for extensibility, all bets are off.
Refer to Installation of AnkhSVN Visual Studio 2019, although it can be successfully installed, it still cannot be used in visual studio 2022

According to the authors it will be on the Market place soon. For now use the direct installation link (uzip and execute). https://github.com/AmpScm/AnkhSVN/releases/download/v2.9.87/Ankh-VSIX-2022.zip
The version linked in the Gutek answer (https://github.com/AmpScm/AnkhSVN/releases/download/v2.9.87/Ankh-VSIX-2022.zip) don't work well with Visual Studio 2022, when opening VS2022 it gives several errors (https://github.com/AmpScm/AnkhSVN/issues/44)
At the moment, for Visual Studio 2022, they recommend to install the latest version built correctly and is available in https://github.com/AmpScm/AnkhSVN/actions (the vsix are in the artifacts of a successfully build)
From the extension page, AnkhSVN does not support visual studio 2022. And I suggest you can leave this question here: AnkhSVN - Subversion Support for Visual Studio Q&A
I tried installing the "R tools for Visual studio" in visual studio 2017, as explained in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/visualstudio/rtvs/installation#installation-in-visual-studio-2017 , but after installation nothing shows up in VS2017. The description on that web page doesn't properly describe the installation UI: step 3 mentions making sure that "R language support", "Runtime support for R development", and "Microsoft R client" are selected, but only the latter is available as an option - the first two are nowhere to be found. I am trying to get it installed on VS 2017 professional, on windows 7.
I also tried the installation for VS 2015, and that seems to work fine.
Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong, if the installer is bugged, or if something else is going on?
This has been logged as a bug on the RTVS Github repo.
Customers have reported that R in the VS 2017 Data Science Workload is blocked from installing on Windows 7. We have verified this issue and have a fix prepared for the next update of Visual Studio 2017.
We are currently working with the Visual Studio team to get this fix deployed as quickly as possible.
I need to downgrade NuGet Package Manager extension for Visual Studio 2015 for testing purpose. How to do this? Is there any way to download an older version of this extension and install it into Visual Studio?
This site lists all recent releases, you must install the VSIX file.
https://github.com/NuGet/Home/releases
You can usually try a variation of the link you can get from the download button from the extension's page on https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/ .
For example, at the time of this writing Failwyn/WebCompiler64 version 1.14.9.2 has an issue, so I downloaded version 1.14.8 from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/Failwyn/vsextensions/WebCompiler64/1.14.8/vspackage .
An easier way to downgrade any visual studio code extension is by:
1. search for the extension in visual studio code
2. Right click on the extension you want to downgrade
3. select Install Another Version...
4. Pick the version from the list if any and install

I just installed Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and I then installed the R Tools for Visual Studio. When I click on New Projects, I don't see R listed as a template type. However, I watched a Microsoft Build video, made in May of this year, and R did show up on the presenters copy of VS when he created a new project. Anyone know why I don't see it?
Do you see R Tools menu? If yes, what is version of R Tools in Help About? If no, try uninstalling and reinstalling R Tools.
