Convert Git repository to TFVC version control

Question

I have a local git repository and i would like to convert it to TFVC version control and then load it to TFS server. Does anyone have an idea how to do it ?

Answer 1

To migrate Git repo to TFVC repo, you need to install git-tf tool at first.

And also make sure you have added a TFVC repo before migration. And assume the TFVC repo name is projectname.

After installing git-tf successful, then use below commands to checkin the files and histories in TFS TFVC repo:

cd /payh/to/local/git/repo
git tf configure http://tfs-server:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection "$\projectname"
git-tf checkin --deep --autosquash

Now all the files and histories in your git repo are checkin your TFS TFVC repo.

Answer 2

If you are on TFS 2017 update 1 or higher, you could directly import your existing Git Repo to the TFS Server
