Migrating a TFVC team project to a Git team project along with changeset history in TFS.There are some resources that offer help in this regard and I've compiled a short list to help anyone contemplating a migration understand what's involved: When I first started writing this post moving to Git would have meant creating a new Team Project based on Git and either starting from scratch or importing history and / or work items from the TFVC-based project. The Bigger Pictureīefore getting in to the tooling I want to take a step back and say a few words about the big picture because if you want to start using Git and already have a team project based on TFVC you have some thinking to do. As always when learning something new I recommend taking some time to do some training and to that end I have a Getting Started blog post here where I've compiled what I think are the most useful resources for Visual Studio developers. Keen to understand what all the fuss is about I've been learning about and using Git over the past few months and the recent release of Visual Studio 2015 and TFS 2015 seemed like a good time to share some of my experiences. In fact Git seems to be firmly embedded everywhere, not least at Microsoft where open source projects are being hosted on GitHub and internal teams are using Git via Visual Studio and TFS. That has all changed now and Git is firmly embedded in TFS. (This was correct when I first started writing this post but things are changing as I mention later.) If your projects were created a few years ago either Git wasn't an option back then since it only became available in early 2013 or you may have thought it was just too new and shiny to consider for use with TFS, and very likely these projects use Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC). This is because when you create a new team project in TFS you have to choose the version control system you want to use and once chosen that's it - no changing your mind. If you work in an organisation that has a longstanding investment in TFS chances are that you haven't done much with Git.
