Team Foundation Server - Moving Source with History

Question

I was wondering what the best approach might be in moving source code, with history, from one Team Project to another Team Project. I am not concerned with work items, repo

Answer 1

Another option (and I think easier) is to import to Git then export back to TFS using the Git-TF command line tools.

• Install Git-TF from binary, Choclatey or source code.

• Clone a TFS folder:

git tf clone https://myAcc.visualstudio.com/mycollection $/TeamProjectA/Main --deep

• Disassociate the Git Repo from the TFS server by deleting the .Git/tf folder and the .Git/git-tf file.

• Configure the new Git Repo to connect to an empty TFS folder.

git tf configure https://myAcc.visualstudio.com/mycollection $/TeamProjectB/Main --deep

• Don't forget the --deep

git tf pull

You should get a message at this point "git-tf: this is a newly configured repository. There is nothing to fetch from tfs."

git commit -a -m "merge commit"

git tf checkin --deep
