How do I enable Git for Visual Studio/Team Server 2013

We have a Team Project we created in 2013. The web site of the project allows Git Repos to be created, but in Visual Studio 2017 the Git repos we created are always Offline and exhibiting other odd behaviors (loading TFVC's interface in Visual Studio even when connecting to a Git repo within it for example). I used Fiddler to check out the traffic and noticed that this particular project is missing the SourceControlGitEnabled = true flag. A project we created a year and a half later DOES include the SourceControlGitEnabled flag and works properly.

Is there a TFS Team Project setting we can alter/enable or do I have to create a new Project with Git as the repo and migrate everything to it?

When you create a new repo in the Team Project in TFS2013, there should be a warning as below:

Note that some versions of Visual Studio will only provide full Team Explorer integration with a repository that has the same name as the team project. Users may need to manually clone this new repository to use it in Visual Studio.

enter image description here

This maybe the limitation of TFS2013 with GIT, either manually clone this new repository to use it in Visual Studio or create a new Project with Git as the repo and migrate everything to it, both should be work.
