Setting up a github.com repository in Visual Studio Code

Question

I couldn't find a concise step-by-step tutorial to integrate Visual Studio Code with github.com and I'm struggling with this.

This is what I did:

I installed Visual Studio Code (VSC)
Within VSC I installed two extensions: GitHub 0.30.3 and GitHub Pull Requests 0.13.0
I tried to configure the github.com remote site in VSC, all I could find here is that there's a githubPullRequests.hosts entry, but no place to put a user/password.

Can the complete setup happen inside VSC or there's something that needs to be done with a git command? How to make VSC aware of a repository in github.com ?

Visual Studio Code will allow you to handle git repos out of the box, without extensions. What sort of integration do you want? — oyvind

This article seems to have a lot of information: code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2018/09/10/… — oyvind

@oyvind Thanks for the article, but it doesn't talk about configuration, specifically how to set gitbub's user and password in VSC. — ps0604

This might help. From add remote repository from github (v1.46 release notes):

You can now easily add a GitHub repository as a remote to your local repositories using the Git: Add Remote... command.
