GIT Snack: missing buttons in Team Explorer

Case
I can commit and sync, but where are the GIT buttons Pull Request, Work Items and Builds in my Visual Studio's Team Explorer?

Missing 3 Git buttons: Pull Request, Work Items and Builds

Solution
You are not connected to the project in GIT. Let's connect to your project:

1. In Visual Studio/SSDT go to Team in the menu and click on Manage Connections...
2. In the Team Explorer an option "Manage Connections" appears. Click on it and choose Connect to a Project...
3. A new GIT window "Connect to a Project" appears, find and select your project and click on the Connect button.

Connect to GIT project

After connecting the 3 buttons Pull Request, Work Items and Builds will appear in the Team Explorer pane and then you can start a Pull Request from within Visual Studio/SSDT.

All buttons are now available
