    Hi @BenTam-3003 , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    You can use git functions to open your solution.

    visual studio doesn't have the best multiple repo support.

    for each GitHub project to need to clone into a folder, not in another git repo. visual studio defaults to:

    \users\<username>\source\repos

    after clone, you can use VS to add existing project to the solution, then after adding to the solution, you add a reference to the main project.

    your error means you used the wrong url. go to github, find the project you want, then click on the code button to get the correct url. you can also click on open with visual studio, manually clone, etc.
