How do I push a project to a Github branch in Visual Studio?

All the tutorials and documents I've seen only show how to create a new repository, or to push the project without being able to choose the branch.

I have an existing repo in Github and an existing application in Visual Studio. I want to create an empty branch in the Github repo and add my project in Visual Studio to this.

Note that I haven't connected Github to my Visual Studio application yet.

Is there a simple way to do this in Visual Studio using the GUI?

You authorize git to be used with VSC on settings and probably connect your account to it.

After that, there's a version control tab on VSC.

Version Control Tab Icon

When you go to the 3 dots at the right of the branch row (blue line in this image) you will have access to all options.

I would recommend not to use the GUI, use the terminal to better understanding of git. Please take a look of the Git workfows documentation

You usually need to change to the branch you want to upload:

git checkout <BRANCH_NAME>

If the branch does not exist, you can create by:

git checkout -b <BRANCH_NAME>

Add the files you want to track:

git add <FILES_OR_FOLDERS_TO_TRACK>

Do a commit:

git commit -m 'YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE'

Push the branch to the remote (GitHub):

git push origin <BRANCH_NAME>
