Checking existing project to VSTS

Question

I have an existing solution on my dev machine.

I also created a new project on VSTS.

What's next for me? I always struggle with this. I simply don't understand the logic. When I try to map my local folder to the repository on VSTS, it wants to "Map & Get" which deletes all my files on my dev machine.

Ideally, I'd like to create a branch named "Develop" under my fresh new project repository on VSTS then check my files into it.

I'd appreciate someone telling me where to go from here. Thanks.
