I also have this problem (opens a repository, but doesn't sync project).
(it does put a .gitattributes and a .gitignore file in there. but thats it)
Also, when I open from Git, all I get are these files (no solution).

Found the solution.
VS won't let you sync/push to Github until you çommit (just 'sync' isn't enough).
You need to go to Team Explorer>Changes. Enter a comment (literally anything) so the 'Commit All' button becomes selectable. Click it after you enter the comment.
Then you go to Team Explorer>Sync, click sync and it should work.
I think GitHub does this as some kind of revertable version control...
