I have a GitHub account.
I have a Visual Studio 2010 with Git Extensions and Git Source Control provider installed.
I have created a clean project. How do I upload it to GitHub?
P.S. A tutorial on this particular topic would be fine.
In order to upload a Visual Studio Project to GitHub one needs to perform a push operation in GitExtension commit dialog.
Basically syncing the project with GitHub server is called "push"ing in Git terminology.
In order to be able to push, one needs to do the following:
Create a local repository. This is covered in detail by both GitHub and GitExtensions manual.
Create a repository online from GitHub account. This is covered in detail by GitHub help.
Map a local repository to an online one. This requires going to Manage Remotes dialog of GitExtensions (accessed via Git->Manage Remotes menu item in Visual Studio main menu) and saving a new instance of a remote repo.
Then, at commit, choose to "Commit & push", and point push to a remote repo created in step 3.
Create a new repository in your github account. It will give you the step by step instructions for you.

I don't see the Branches link in Azure DevOps in the Repos menu:
The Azure admin has confirmed that I'm in the Contributor group and I can access branches through Visual Studio Team Services.
I haven't been able to find the setting that will let me manage branches in Azure DevOps / visualstudio.com.
ANSWER:
So dumb... I needed to change this dropdown from the TFVC project in the Azure DevOps header:
To the Git repo:
And now I see options for Branches and Pull Requests in my Repos sub-menu:
According to your screenshot,seems you are using TFVC as your source control. This is the expected behavior.
For TFVC project the option under Repos should be
For Git project the option under Repos should be
You could do some manages in Visual Studio from Source Control Explorer.
Or use tf branch command line to handle this.
The branches menu looks to only be available when you are using Git as your source control system. When you are using TFVC that option is not available. The actual branches are shown under the repository menu structure. It appears you will probably have to use Visual Studio for the branch operations.
I've been trying to setup a GitHub repository for a xaramin iOS project that I'm doing on my mac.
When creating the project, this is the settings I chose

However on I haven't been able to push to the GitHub repo I want to, I've tried to follow Microsofts guide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/mac/set-up-git-repository but it hasn't worked due to Publish in version control being greyed out
Or, if your project is already bound to a git repository, simply add the GitHub remote and push it there.
git remote add github URL_TO_GITHUB_REPO
git push github master
Afterwards, Visual Studio should allow you to push to Github as well as any older remotes that were added locally.
You can always remove the existing remote if you want to:
git remote remove origin
git remote rename github origin

Before publishing your project to GitHub from Visual Studio, you must remove any source control :
If you have an existing project that is
not already in version control, use the following steps to set it up
in Git
Removing the .git folder and .gitgnore file should be enough. Then the "Publish in version control..." menu will be available (you might need to restart Visual Studio).

Hello I have project which I manage with visual Studio Online and tfs basic online.
But I need to share the code with coworkers who don't want to create MS accounts so they don't have access to the vs online code repository.
Can you tell me if there is any easy way to clone code from one repository to the other?
I'll be gratefull if anyone suggest me tools I should download to clone my code.
You can use GitExtensions, for example, to do this.
Clone Repository from TFS Server (the url is in the Code-Explorer of the TFS Website)
Set the Origin Remote (Remotes/Manage Remote Repositories, there you can set the path of the github Remote (is written somewhere on the website))
Push (for example via GitExstensions)
I'm totaly newbie to Source Control idea, so please be kind.
My situation is that we are a development team which contains 2 developers and 1 designer.
We use Visual Studio 2010 and we need to use a Git as a Source Control.
I've installed Git Source Control Provider and GitExtensions using Extensions Manager on all machines.
But there is only one thing I don't get it, how can I configure every Git on every machine to find a central repositry where we can Push and Update all work in one place?
Does that mean everyone will take a copy of a solution into his own machine (Locally) and configure Git to a repositry OR are we going to run on the same solution?
Honestly, I have not found articles regarding this issue and how teams on same project on Visual Studio 2010?
Git is distributed version control system means that whenever you clone a repository you can work on your copy and commit too. Once you done you can push the commits to remote repository.
My company has just begun using BitBucket with Mercurial for version control and I am having a heck of a time integrating it locally with Visual Studio 2010. I can easily create a folder on my local system and clone the BitBucket repository using TortoiseHg and it brings down all the files appropriately. However, when I try to create a Visual Studio project in the same folder, it insists on creating it's own sub-folder for the project files, leaving my version controlled source files out of the project. When I try to do it the opposite way, creating my solution in Visual Studio first, TortoiseHg will not let me clone my repository into the same directory, saying that it needs a new folder. All of my google-foo seems to be coming up fruitless.
Anyone have a clean way of setting up a cloned repository from which to work locally in Visual Studio using Mercurial and BitBucket?
You can
Create your Visual Studio project.
Right-click the project folder and choose TortoiseHg -> Create Repostory Here.
Add and commit files in TortoiseHg.
Push the repository into a new empty repository on Bitbucket. To push, you use the synchronize view and add a new path to the repository. Name the path default and it will become the default push and pull path.
The important point is that you can always push into an empty repository. This is how you copy a repository you've worked on locally to Bitbucket: create a new empty repository online and push to it.
