Hi William Thompson,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q & A forum.
To connect an existing Visual Studio 2022 project to a GitHub repository, follow these steps:
1.Ensure Git is Installed in Visual Studio 2022
Visual Studio includes Git by default. If it's not already configured, navigate to Tools > Options > Source Control > Plug-in Selection and choose Git from the available options.
2.Open Your Project in Visual Studio
Launch Visual Studio 2022 and open the project you want to connect to GitHub.
3.Sign In to Your GitHub Account
Go to View > GitHub (or Team Explorer, depending on your setup).
In the Team Explorer window, select Connect and sign in to your GitHub account if you haven't already.
4.Configure the Remote URL for Your GitHub Repository
Open Team Explorer by selecting View > Team Explorer.
In the Branches section, right-click your main branch (usually main or master) and select Manage Branches.
In the Git Changes window, click the Settings icon.
In Repository Settings, under the Remotes section, click Add.
Enter the remote name (commonly origin for the primary remote) and paste your GitHub repository’s URL, which you can find by clicking the Code button in GitHub and copying the HTTPS URL.
5.Push Your Project to GitHub
After setting the remote URL, navigate to View > Git Changes. You should now see that your project is linked to your GitHub repository.
Commit any changes by clicking Commit All, add a commit message, and then press Push to upload your local changes to GitHub.
6.Confirm Your Project on GitHub
Visit your GitHub repository in a browser to confirm the project files have been successfully uploaded. You should also see your commit history reflected.
