And although there are many benefits when using Git, people who started with TFVC did not migrate yet. Many software projects have been started before 2013 and therefore are using TFVC. While TFVC was supported since the first version of TFS, Git has been added in TFS 2013.

TFS also supports two types of source control systems, which are Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) and Git. There are a lot of features included in TFS, like source control, build server, work item tracking, reporting-basically all the features that are necessary for a professional team to develop software.

Many teams are using Team Foundation Server (TFS) to support their software development process. In this post I am going to explain the more technical procedure on how you migrate from TFVC to Git.īut before I will describe the five migration steps in detail, I would like to give you a short introduction why this whole topic even matters. I talk extensively why you should migrate from Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) to Git in my guest post at simple programmer, which will be published soon.
