'How to upgrade GIT to latest version in Visual Studio Team Services?
I am using online Visual Studio Team Services and GIT for a repository. I have the latest installation of GIT on my computer but when I push code to the repository I am getting an information
"remote: We noticed you're using an older version of GIT. For the best experience, upgrade to a newer version."
From the message I understood that I need to update the GIT in the Visual Studio Team Services to the latest version and I tried to find the way to upgrade but I wasn't able to find the option. Could you please help me to get the right direction? Thanks

No, Visual Studio Team Services is telling you that you need to upgrade your local Git client. VSTS is safely running a custom Git implementation that you cannot modify.
If you're on Windows, visit https://git-for-windows.github.io/ and install the latest version.

You need to upgrade your local git client. you should use the following command for upgrade git from the console.
for versions between 2.14.2 and 2.16.1
C:\> git update
for version above 2.16.1
git update-git-for-windows

If you have chocolatey installed, run >choco upgrade git in command prompt.

The issue is that VS is using MinGit: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.35.2.windows.1
You can update it using Nuget package called Git-Windows-Minimal: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Git-Windows-Minimal/
