我可以在现有的TFS团队项目中创建git存储库吗？

Question

When my Team project for TFS 2015 was created there was no repository created. Is there any way to create a repository now? If there already exists a repository there is an option 'New repository...' in the Version Control tab in the web-portal but that is missing now.

If I cannot add a repo at this point, I would like to know if I can move the content (User stories and tasks) of this Team Project to another one.

Thanks.

Answer 1

With the current version of TFS it is possible to add a Git Repo even when "TFVC" was selected during project creation.

On the very top of the (project) page click the "arrow down" on the TFS repo and select the option you wand: Import Git repo, Add git repo, ...

First, please make sure you have related permission of that Team Project. You can also try to create a repository using REST API as jessehouwing suggested. Moreover, you can check the logs for troubleshooting which stored in $:\\Users\\user name\\AppData\\Local\\Temp and labeled xxx_TeamProjectCreation_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.log .

For the second question, if the two team projects be created using the same process template, the simple solution would be export the work items to Excel from old team project and import to new team project.
