What is Git?

You can use Git to manage modular codebases that are distributed across multiple repositories. When you use Git, each developer on your team has a copy of the entire source repository on their dev machine. As a result, you can perform many version control tasks even if you don’t have a network connection. When you need to switch contexts, you can quickly create a private local branch. Later, you can either publish the branch or dispose it of.

Follow the below steps to create a Team Project with Git, and invite members to work with it.

Step 1: Here, I will go with my online Visual Studio URL directly, to create a New Project with Git.

Open your Visual Studio URL.

Click on New under Recent Projects and Team.



Step 2: Enter your project name, description, and process template, followed by version control. Make sure that “Git” is selected for Version Control.



Click on Create Project.




 
Click on Navigate to project.



Here, your project has been created using Git.




Step 3: Now, add members to work with this project using “Invite a friend” under Team Members. Click on Add to add new team members.



Enter any email id or group aliases to work with it, in the following window.





Click on Save Changes after adding the User email ID.



Now, you can find all the added email IDs of the team members who are working with this project.
