Git in Visual Studio - add existing project?

Question

I'm trying to put an existing project under Git source control, but I'm unclear on several things. I have set up a 'Team Foundation Service' Git account online. I currently have an ASP.NET MVC 4 solution - in my Projects folder. I have created a Git 'repository' locally (an empty folder currently). Should this just be my current application folder in Projects? Or does it need to be a copy? How do I get my existing files into the online repository? Select the correct answer from above options

Make sure you install Git Software like Git Extensions on your local environment. Use git inti in your solution folder, it creates a repository Do .gitignore, so that no unnecessary commit happens git add git commit Now add a remote, git remote add origin Now to your code, use git push Check this article, it will be more helpful: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/share-your-code-in-git-vs?view=azure-devops
