I am creating a Project with git on DevOps using API. By default DevOps creates a git repository with same same name as project. I already have a project on my local machine and want to connect to that git repo and push it there.
How can I do that? Please help.
P.S. : I have to do it programmatically with C# code.
Thanks in Advance.

Short answer
You have to add the proper git remote
, found on the initial project repo page.
Longer answer
After creating a new project, the repo page looks like this:
The second block contains the code for getting adding existing repo from command line. Let's say I have this local folder at C:\work\githubtest
and just follow the commands above.
For the example I'm showing above the red rectangle:
- what is in the folder; README-local.MD
- what I committed; the file above
The suggested commands from the rectangle and the screenshot are:
git remote add origin https://[email protected]/yourorg/GithubTest/_git/GithubTest
git push -u origin --all
The result
In C#
So, your question is how to do this programmatically, in C#? Well the part of the git command is asked and answered here This could look in your example something like:
string directory = ""; // directory of the git repository
using (PowerShell powershell = PowerShell.Create()) {
// this changes from the user folder that PowerShell starts up with to your git repository
powershell.AddScript($"cd {directory}");
powershell.AddScript(@"git remote add origin https://[email protected]/yourorg/GithubTest/_git/GithubTest");
powershell.AddScript(@"git push -u origin --all");
Collection<PSObject> results = powershell.Invoke();
}
