title: Visual Studio 2013, New Project from local Git?
body: <p>My employer set up a bitbucket git repository, and I have cloned it via Visual Studio. </p>
  
  <p>But how do I create a new project based on this repo? </p>
  
  <p>Another example is an open source project, I want to commit changes, so I go to visual studio, clone the project.... And now I have a local repo but I still have an empty project. </p>
  
  <p>How do I get at these files. </p>
  
  <p>I basically want to create a new project, based on that existing project so I can edit files inside Visual Studio, then commit.   </p>
