TFS migrating from TFVC to Git

Question

Me and my team were using TFS 2015, using TFVC. We installed TFS 2018 and we are moving our projects to TFS 2018. We'd like to use Git instead of TFVC.

Can we do this easly?

Answer 1

You can use the built-in TFS migration:

In this way, you can keep the history only of the last 180 days.

Another option is to use git-tfs , the git-tfs tool is a two-way bridge between Team Foundation Version Control and Git, and can be used to perform a migration. Git-TFS is appropriate if you want to attempt a migration with full history, more than the 180 days that the Import tool supports, or if you want to attempt a migration that includes multiple branches and merge relationships.
