git pull request on visualstudio online

Question

I like to do code reviews using git pull requests in visual studio online. Is there any way to do this without cloning a second repo in visual studio online? Ideally I want visual studio online to use our existing git repo and import it rather clone it.

Thanks

In order to use Git pull requests in VSO your repository needs to the stored in VSO. There is no way around this.

Pull requests are also available in TFS 2013.4. If you were to install TFS locally and use TFS as your Git server rather than your current solution, you can leverage the capability.
