Visual Studio For Mac Version Control

Version

Active2 years, 3 months ago

The only two options I can see are git and subversion. I tried entering the url using the subversion option and it did ask me for credentials but the correct credentials never worked.

In this tutorial, I will show how to install visual studio code on mac. Visual Studio Code is free and available on your favorite platform – Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows.Download Visual Studio Code to experience a redefined code editor, optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications. Even though it's a paid option, Tower Git for Mac has support for VSTS and others as well. Then you can use VS for Mac Version Control to manage just as James did for GitHub.

TFS can use either TFVC (Team Foundation Version Control) or Git for the source control part. You don't have to use an external Git server, it has an internal one - with the data stored in the TFS SQL database. You create your first repo when you create the Team Project, but you can add repos later and you can mix TFVC and Git repos in the same Team Project - since 2015.2 I think.

Microsoft is still in the denial and marketing speak phase but TFVC is basically dead, even Microsoft is using Git for all their new repos. I'm ready to bet Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio for Mac will never connect to TFVC.

Edit: I lost my bet for Visual Studio Code, it can connect to TFVC using the Visual Studio Team Services extension since version 1.116.0 (2017/04/12).
