问题
I just learned about source control and tried using it - so I activated for a project via VS2013 and it works locally, but then I tried to set up a repository at GitHub.com. I used the default settings, which means https type connection (there is only https or ssh), but when I copied the url of the repo to VS to publish to it, VS showed the following error: "An error occurred while sending the request". I looked it up and almost all guides refer to opening a repo with an https type connection but there is no longer such option at gitHub.com, and I found the following article from Microsoft http://blogs.msdn.com/b/phkelley/archive/2013/10/20/git-network-operations-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx which explains why the error occurs and that some certificate needs to be added but I don't know how. So my question is: is this the issue and how to solve it, or is there another way to use VS to upload the repo online to github.com or to some other place.
Also - as I only stared using VS2013 for source control - are there third party extensions that give a better experience for source control in VS2013 or is the built it git support the best it gets?

Default git support in vs2013 is not very good and easily understandable even for an experienced git user :-(
I highly recommend to use one if the 3 tools: gitextensions, sourcetree or github client.
The support of git in VS 2015, even with the github extension, even if it's better, is not enough...
