How do you link a Git Repo to an Existing Git Repo in a project using Visual Studio

Question

I have 2 projects which i have cloned one in "ConnectData" folder and one in "MinimalAPI" folder i started the "MinimalAPI" project and everything works fine, git links the files and i have that lock icon next to each file. But when i want to reference another project which is cloned such as the "ConnectData" project inside the "MinimalAPI" project, the "ConnectData" project does not seem to be linked to git as the lock icon isn't there, this will explain further in the i mage below: As you can see the Connect.Data project isnt linked to git but minimalapi is so how do i link connect.data to git within this project?
