How do I connect to my existing Git repository using Visual Studio Code

Question

I ve been using Visual Studio code for a long time  since v0 9 1  I now have run into the need to use GitHub and an online Git repository   I have the online Git repository set up and have been pushing changing to the online repository using GitHub  I have recently come to realize I can save myself a step with using Visual Studio Code to do both  to edit my code  then send it up to the online repository   I am very new to the whole Git concept  Visual Studio Code had me install the  Git  plugin which installed Git Bash  Git CMD  and Git GUI   This is the online repository URL I m trying to get to  https   github com SpectrumGraphics Spectrum-Graphic-Designs git

Use the Git GUI in the Git plugin   Clone your online repository with the URL which you have   After cloning  make changes to the files  When you make changes  you can see the number changes  Commit those changes   Fetch from the remote  to check if anything is updated while you are working    If the fetch operation gives you an update about the changes in the remote repository  make a pull operation which will update your copy in Visual Studio Code  Otherwise  do not make a pull operation if there aren t any changes in the remote repository   Push your changes to the upstream remote repository by making a push operation

Another option is to use the built-in Command Palette  which will walk you right through cloning a Git repository to a new directory   From Using Version Control in VS Code      You can clone a Git repository with the Git  Clone command in the Command Palette  Windows Linux  Ctrl   Shift   P  Mac  Command   Shift   P   You will be asked for the URL of the remote repository and the parent directory under which to put the local repository    At the bottom of Visual Studio Code you ll get status updates to the cloning  Once that s complete an information message will display near the top  allowing you to open the folder that was created   Note that Visual Studio Code uses your machine s Git installation  and requires 2 0 0 or higher
