I created a new Team Project on Visual Studio Online that I have connected to in Visual Studio 2013. Using the IDE, I cloned a local Git repo (that was pulled down from GitHub) into the Local Git Repositories section.

When I went through the documentation on Visual Studio's website, it showed an option to "Publish to {Team Project}."

Mine doesn't show this:

And it looks like this has been a problem in the past (others have needed to change the .git/config file). Has this been fixed yet so I can use the IDE completely? Or am I missing something?

  • You need to connect to a Team Project that has a Git repository, only then can Visual Studio show the publish option. I suspect you also need to add TFS as remote to the local repository by editing the config file or by using the git commandline git remote remove and git remote add. Commented Jan 2, 2014 at 19:45

The answer marked as correct doesn't appear to be correct. To push an existing local repo to a VSO repo involves following:

git remote add origin https://<NAME>.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_git/<PROJECT> git push -u origin --all

This assumes you've already created <PROJECT> in VS Online as a new team project using Git as the source control strategy.

I have created a project on VSO and when I run the second command it gives an error "TF401019: The Git repository with name or identifier VSCodeDemo does not exist or you do not have permissions for the operation you are attempting."

This publish option is only shown when you are connected to a Team Project and when the remote uri of the git repository is set to the TFS uri.

To fix this you can manually edit the git files, but I tend to open the Git Command Prompt (right-click the repo and choose Open Command prompt.

On the command line enter:

git remote set-url origin http://[server]:[port]/tfs/[projectcollection]/_git/[ProjectName]

git pull

[[ resolve any merge issues ]]

git push

Thanks, jessehouwing. I actually have used Command Prompt to add a remote (it also works to solely use the command-line to pull down the GitHub repo directly then push the changes), but wasn't sure if VS2013 finally supported the migration all in the IDE :(
