idk anything about vs's git integration, but go to the project folder and run git init in a terminal then git add ., git commit -m "Initial Commit", git remote add origin (your repository URL), git push --set-upstream origin master you'll need a gitignore before committing if you don't have one, dotnet new gitignore will add a reasonable default for C# projects

@Jimmacle sorry for ping - it gave me an error and idk what to do with it, why did it search for that file?

probably because it's there and you didn't exclude it in the gitignore if you don't want it dunno about the permission issue, that's not a git specific thing
