Import a vs 2017 solution git repo into azure devops

Question

I am trying to use appcenter with azuredevops services.

I have created a solution "HelloWorld" on local PC in VS 2017 and added to local Git repository
I have created a project in AzureDevOps "MobileApps"

How do I import my new shiny solution in VS2017 "HelloWorld" into AzureDevOps? Any walkthrough?

I can make it work if

I start from azuredevops and clone in visual studio.Bcse I then get a prompt in visual studio to create a new solution in the new cloned repo.

But Cannot find a way to import a repository from Visual studio into AzureDevOps.

Links that i saw but did not work .Also outdated with azuredevops.

Did you try [this](https://www.jpaul.me/2018/10/importing-a-github-repo-to-azure-devops-repo/)? — Jayendran, Oct 21 '18 at 09:36
What is the issue? when you click on "Import repository" and paste your git repo url, what happens? — Shayki Abramczyk, Oct 21 '18 at 19:07

You should be following these steps to add your local git repo to Azure DevOps

Create a git repo in Azure DevOps repos
Copy the clone url from Azure DevOps and use below command to configure your local repo to use Azure DevOps repo as the remote repo. Edit command from local git repo root folder.

git remote add origin <url-from-Azure repos>

Then you should be able to push your local content to Azure repos..you can use below commands

git add .
git commit -m 'your comment'
git push -u origin master

You should be executing this command in the local git repo root folder.. Then perform a git add, commit and push – ChamindaC Oct 23 '18 at 07:12
