Using Git with Visual Studio

In this video, I walk you through the process of using Git with Visual Studio. You will learn how to create a new project with Git, how to connect an existing project to Git, and how to clone a project from a remote Git repository to your computer. I will also walk you through a quick and basic tutorial for pushing your local code changes back up to a Git repository.

So nice to hear a tech video with a real English speaking presenter. It makes it SO much easier to follow.

Hello all. Thank you very much for watching this video. I know I do not comment very often on these videos, so do want to thank you all for helping me reach over 100K views! There were a few questions that were asked that I will answer for you:


1. GitHub and Visual Studio team services work mostly the same way. If you go to "team explorer", you should see the option to use GitHub instead of VSTS (which is now Azure DevOps).
2. I am not a full-time developer and sell a small add-on for Microsoft Word, so I apologize if I cannot answer more of your advanced questions, but I am very happy so many people here are helping each other out.

It's amazing how hard it can be to find a video that gives a simple clear explanation/demonstration of this process. I want to use Git for our repos, but local/remote part was always confusing to me using the GUI tools in VS.

The video starts with Git already active. My computer has none of the displays shown in the first few minutes of the video. Where do I go when starting from the beginning. VS 2019.

Please! please! we need an updated version, I found this very handy but VS now uses Azure DevOps, please help us with the update! :-)

I don't have the option for new --> project. My options are new file or new folder under the file drop down?

[cloudpachehra]

Is there any simple way to work on the same project from two different pc's? Not simultaneously nor by different people, just being able to keep working on the same project with whichever pc I'm using at the moment..

0:39 seconds into the video -- you've already lost me. :-) How do I get the 'Create new Git repository?' Is there something I need to install?
