TFS vsts到git repo迁移

Question

I am new to VSTS version controlling, I have one project into TFS 2017 into VSTS version controlling, this project is huge and having all dependencies, moreover we have nested solution ( one .sln contains more than one other .sln into it).

Now I wanted to migrate my VSTS repository into git under TFS 2017 only.

How can i do that? please provide your suggestions

If you use TFS 2017 Update 1 or higher version, import a Git repo from VSTS to TFS is easy. Please follow the steps below:

1. Create a PAT (personal access token) in VSTS
2. Go to your VSTS repo ( https://account.visualstudio.com/_git/teamproject ), and clone the repo:

3. Create a Git team project in TFS 2017, go to the repo, and from the repo drop-down, select Import repository :

4. Type the URL you cloned from VSTS (Step2), and type the PAT you created in VSTS (Step1):

If you use TFS 2017 RTM, you would need to manually import a repo , we suggest you upgrade your TFS 2017 to the latest edition for better experience.
