Visual studio for mac and Git

Mac comes with Git pre-installed.

This is found by using a terminal window:

mauramonville@Mauras-MacBook-Pro ~ % git --version

git version 2.30.1 (Apple Git-130)

I installed Visual Studio for Mac. It does have a menu whose items are typical repository commands.

However, It is not clear to me which repository those commands refer to.

My questions are as follows:

May I integrate/connect VS for Mac with the pre-installed Git? How can I do that?
Otherwise, how can I set up a local Git repository (on my Mac) where to keep all my C# code snippets?
How can I connect VS for Mac with my remote GitHub repository?

Thank you in advance

Command line developer tools and "git" I have recently loaded Anaconda onto my new Mac. I am having trouble with installation of "git" and command line developer tools, because the Software Update server is not available for the relevant download. Each time I open Spyder from Anaconda, I am presented with an installation wizard to download and install command line developer software permitting "git" command to be used. I agree the licence terms, but the wizard then fails to download the software, with the statement that the download is not available from the Software Update server. I'm new to Python and Anaconda and while both seem to be working, it is a distraction to have the installer appearing all the time, and I am a bit concerned that "git" may be important to my future use of both. Any suggestions?
