使用Powershell根据TFS下载文件从TFS下载文件

Question

How can i find and download files from tfs based on their labels using powershell. i found a code that downloads the latest version, but i want a specific labeled version.

Answer 1

You could call tf command in the powershell script to do this, the steps required to pull a label from TFS e as follows:

1. Specify the following as input parameters: Disk location where label is pulled (source code directory) TFS work space and folder from which code is pulled Label name associated with TS work space and folder
2. Delete existing code from the source code directory

3. Create the source code directory

4. Change the current-working directory to the source code directory The reason for this is outlined in: "Build Automation: Getting multiple labels from TFS using TF GET (without deleting the files associated with the previous TF GET)" (optional)

5. Delete the TFS work space if it exists aka tf workspace /delete

6. Create the TFS work space aka tf workspace /new

7. Map the source code folder to the collection folder and associate this mapping with the work space aka tf workfold /map
8. Get the label from TFS aka tf get /version:L<label name> /noprompt

Another way is using TFS API, instead of directly get latest, you could use a VersionSpec to specify which version you want. Such as a DateVersionSpec, a ChangeVersionSet or a LabelVersionSet. Detail code please refer How to use the TFS API to retrieve a historical version of your project , you could - involve TFS API in PowerShell.
