how to fetch/import from github to visual studio 2013

Question

Suppose that i have a web application solution on GitHub. How do i fetch or import the whole web application solution from github to visual studio 2013?

I am expecting something like this: File -> Open -> Open from source -> enter githublink and credentials -> auto create project and fetch from github

but seems like i cannot found the solution

P/S: I am not looking forward on solution that download the entire zip file from github, open in visual studio and recommit it into github.

Open the Team Explorer tab, at the bottom of the Connect page (power plug icon) you'll see a list of Git Repositories, enter the https uri to your github project and hit clone.
