I want to put my code on a Git repo via Visual Studio,

This documentation says, rightclick on the master branch and press New local branch from.. but I do not have a master branch and the button is disabled in my case:

Alright it seem's like I really had to create the master branch by myself first. I thought this would be added when creating the repo:

I did the following: Open the command line via right click on the Repo in Visual Studio

Type in: git commit -m "Initial Commit" where Initial Commit is the name of the commit.

The master branch was then created.

One possible explanation is that you have created locally a Git repo, but have not created yet at least one commit.

Make sure you have added/committed your current modification in your local Git repo, and check again if the Visual Studio GUI is still displaying that option as disabled or enabled.
