How do I add an existing Solution to GitHub from Visual Studio 2013

Question

I have looked through many web pages on the new Git integration in VS 2013 and they do not deal with adding an existing solution to Github. In fact I can\'t find much on us

Answer 1

None of the answers were specific to my problem, so here's how I did it.

This is for Visual Studio 2015 and I had already made a repository on Github.com

If you already have your repository URL copy it and then in visual studio:

• Go to Team Explorer
• Click the "Sync" button
• It should have 3 options listed with "get started" links.
• I chose the "get started" link against "publish to remote repository", which it the bottom one
• A yellow box will appear asking for the URL. Just paste the URL there and click publish.

Answer 2

My problem is that when i use https for the remote URL, it doesn't work, so I use http instead. This allows me to publish/sync with GitHub from Team Explorer instantly.
