VSTS – Link local visual studio porject to vsts git repository


This article will walk thru steps to demo how to link the local visual studio project to VSTS (Visual Studio Team Service). So that you can manage you code versioning in VSTS.

The tool I will use for this instructions are Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Team Services. Thanks to Microsoft, we can get started with the above tools for free. Get your tool ready before started.
