Upload Code to VSTS Team Project - azure-devops-rest-api

Question

Is there any option of uploading code (from a zip file) to an empty VSTS team project?
I have used VSTS API(Projects) to create Team Project but i don't see any option there to push code to newly created VSTS project.
We can connect from Visual Studio to team project and check in code but i'm looking for some process which can add code to empty VSTS project without manual intervention.
any help/pointers would be appreciated.

First, you should uncompress zip file in an empty folder. Then commit and push the files into the new created repo.
Uncompress zip file:
string zipPath = #"C:\a\1.zip"; \\zip file you want to uncompress
string extractPath = #"C:\a\2"; \\empty path to extract files in zip
ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zipPath, extractPath);
Add the uncompress files into git repo:
For git repo
You can use REST API to add files and push to git repo.
Or you can use System.Diagnostics.Process to execute git commands, such as
ProcessStartInfo gitInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
gitInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
gitInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
gitInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
gitInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
gitInfo.FileName = #"path to git.exe"; \\such as D:\program files\Git\bin\git.exe
gitInfo.Arguments = "git remote add origin https://account.visualstudio.com/project/_git/repo";
gitInfo.WorkingDirectory = #"C:\a\2"; \\path where extract files in
Process gitProcess = new Process();
gitProcess.StartInfo = gitInfo;
gitProcess.Start();
string stderr_str = gitProcess.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
string stdout_str = gitProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
gitProcess.WaitForExit();
gitProcess.Close();
For TFVC repo
You can use the commands.
