You should make sure your Visual Studio 2017 is up to date and that you have Git as your source control provider.

Directly from Visual Studio website

"I don't see the Add to Source Control button in the status bar.

A: The Add to Source Control button in the status bar ( Add to Source Control ) was added in Visual Studio 2017 (it was Publish in Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 and later) and will only appear when you have Git as your source control provider. If your code is already in a Git repo, you won't see the Add to Source Control button in the status bar, but the status of the current branch in your local repo instead."
