Transition from visual studio online to github

I created a project with online visual studio control, but I never synchronized it with the server, I just do local work.

Now I need to add this project to the github repository, so in the github windows client I placed the project and added it, I can see all my previous commits, however when I try to synchronize, I present with a dialog asking for my credentials online.

Does anyone know how I can delete my VS Online account and move the project to Github?

Hooray!

Visual Studio seems to be using git for version control, which is consistent with the github client, which sees your version history and makes it much simpler: all you have to do is change the remote link to point to your github repository.

Github has some pretty good instructions on changing the remote here . To summarize the important bits, from the command line, run:

cd <root directory of your local repository> git remote set-url origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git git fetch

Replace USERNAME and REPOSITORY with the appropriate values, and to start the fetch, you should provide your github credentials to confirm that it worked.
