Say I have my existing VS2015 code in C:Proj1, and I have created a repository in C:RepoProj1.

Now I want to connect my project at C:Proj1 to the Repository at C:RepoProj1.

The problem is when I click on the Publish button in the lower right end of VS2015 window, of VS2015 project (loaded from C:Proj1), it creates the GIT Repository locally inside my project directory (the hidden .git directory, attributes and ignore files). Instead of connecting to the local .git repository, I would like to connect to the repository at C:RepoProj1, everytime I open/use my VS2015 project in C:Proj1

I am using VS2015 (SP3) on Win10.

How to do it? Thanks in advance...

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by

Now I want to connect my project

I believe you're going to want to move/copy your source code into the repo directory (with the .git folder).

And then work out of the repo directory.

You can start a new repo with git clone or git init and then you will want to work out of that directory so the .git folder can track everything.

You can make your project at C:Proj1 a submodule of C:RepoProj1

Just go to C:RepoProj1 and execute in bash:

git submodule add C:/Proj1

Then go to C:Proj1:

git submodule init
git submodule update

It sounds to me as if you have created the repository in the wrong place.. perhaps you could symlink the folders inside.

You can do this using an elevated command prompt;

mklink /d "C:RepoProj1" "C:Proj1"

/d - create a directory link

Quote's aren't required if you don't have spaces in the directory names - but imo are recommended for good practice.
