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Links that i saw but did not work .Also outdated with azuredevops.

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

1. Create a git repo in Azure DevOps repos
2. 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
