How do I make Azure Pipelines aware of the YAML file already in the repo?

Question

Recently I asked about Moving a Visual Studio solution and projects, then establishing it with a different remote. Using the answer, I got I've copied my project into a new local repo and established the remote in Azure DevOps Services. However, now I'm trying to get the Azure build pipeline to work, but Azure Pipeline doesn't recognize azure-pipelines.yml file in the repo. I tried importing the pipeline, but that action wants a build pipeline JSON file, which the YAML file isn't.

How do I get Azure Pipelines to recognize the YAML file as build pipeline file?

You need to create a new pipeline and select: Existing Azure PipelineS YAML file and then pick your yaml file.

Is this still valid? I don't see this option when selecting 'Azure Repos Git' on the 'Wheres your code' screen – NickMcB Mar 09 '22 at 09:58
Yes. I checked and I have it available. – Krzysztof Madej Mar 09 '22 at 11:04

I think the repository should be an Azure Git Repo to show the existing Azure pipeline file. Correct me if I am wrong, but my repo is a Gerrit and I can't see the option to select an Existing Pipeline file.
