A presentation explaining how git-tfs helps developers who want the power of a local git repository but need to work with TFS source control

1. git-tfs
https://github.com/git-tfs
Alternate Working Title:
“Make love not war”

2. how to get it?

3. why?
Q: local workspaces in TFS11 means this is
obsolete, right?
A: nope
local branching
local commits
local history
local everything
git == serverless source control
git > tfs, especially for offline development & distributed
work

4. get started
git-tfs quick-clone http://tfs/server “$/source/path” localPath

5. get started: what’s in the repo?

6. local history

7. making a change…
Cue “vim, WTF?!” comments

8. …and committing it

9. one more time, for fun

10. check local history

11. now push to tfs

12. finish commit

13. pulling changes

14. push git commits separately

15. gated checkins?
• git checkout –b newBranch
• git commit –a –m “xx”
• git tfs pull
• git tfs ct [and wait for build to pass]
• git checkout master
• git tfs pull

16. work item related?
