How to connect to git repository in a remote Linux machine using Visual Studio 2017?

I have a git repository installed in a remote Linux server, but would like to work on it and sync my changes to the git repository using Visual Studio Community Edition 2017.

Apologies if this is a repeat question; am new to this and have looked at the existing answers on SO but don't seem to have found a direct answer for this.

I have managed to use Team Explorer to connect directly to github, but would prefer to connect to the git repository on the Linux server instead.

Thank you.

Let's say you have a user on the linux machine, with a projects subfolder in your home directory, and under that you have a git project in a folder called myproject.

You should be able to run git clone username@server:projects/myproject at any remote terminal (including windows with git installed), assuming you have an ssh server enabled on the linux server above (you may have to install openssh-server first).
