Using externally cloned Git repository in Visual Studio 2015

At the moment I'm using TFS with Git as version control system. Sometimes I clone repositories with other tools than the default Visual Studio tooling, but (obviously) Visual Studio doesn't recognize or even know about these repositories. I'm currently facing the following screen:

Visual Studio - Team Explorer - Home

Is there any way I can link or map the existing repositories to Visual Studio? Note that the repositories already contains the correct remote URL and the local repository is fully in sync with the remote repository. In fact, it was cloned from this remote.

Go to the Team Explorer connect page: in the local repositories section, click add to add the existing repository that you cloned.

Team Explorer will notice that you have cloned this from TFS and the extended functionality will be available.
