use local Git repositories in Visual Studio 2012

Question

I've downloaded the necessary add-ins for Visual Studio 2012 to allow me to set up Git hub local repos.

I cloned some projects from git hub, and I see them in visual studio team explorer as Local Git Repositories.

The problem is: how do I reference these local repositories in my visual studio web project. I want to maintain the reference to the Local Git Repo, not just copy in the javascript files.

Is this my solution: the remote uri of my local git repo must be set to the TFS uri ? Migrate local Git repo to Visual Studio Online from IDE In which case I def need tfs 2013?

Thanks, Michael

If you wish to use TFVC 2012 with the Git client tools use Git-TF . If you wish to migrate from TFVC to Git you need a new Team Project in Visual Studio Online or TFS 2013 and you will have the full native Git experience.
