How to connect Visual Studio Code on mac with Team Foundation Server(TFS).

Download Visual Studio For Mac

VS for Mac Product Manager Rajen Kishna replied: 'Our goal with Visual Studio for Mac is to create a native IDE for Mac users with workloads that make sense on macOS. That means 'desktop app' development will target macOS and Visual Studio (on Windows) can be used to target Windows. The Unity Pro & Visual Studio Professional Bundle gives you the tools you need to develop faster & collaborate more efficiently.

Or any other way to connect with tfs?

This are the steps to effectively connect a TFS (TFVC) Repository to your VS Code on Mac:

INSTALL THE SOFTWARE

1. Install Visual Studio Code for Mac (currently here: https://code.visualstudio.com/download).
2. Install the TFS extension for VS Code: Go to the Extensions tab in VS Code, Search for TFS and install.
3. Install TEE-CLC. Follow this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPNaEIVZfr0&feature=youtu.be.

CREATE A LOCAL TFVC WORKSPACE IN YOUR MAC

Now you need to have a local TFVC Workspace on your machine. If you don't have one (as it was my case), you need to create it. The following steps are partially extracted from https://stackoverflow.com/a/21785438/2816119.

1. Create a local folder where you are going to download and locally store the source code.

2. Open a Terminal window.

3. Create a local workspace from your terminal window with the following command:

4. Map your repository folder to your local folder with the following command:

5. If everything went well, you'll see a new sub-folder '.tf' in your local folder.

6. Open your local folder with VS Code. If everything went well you'll se after a few seconds the TFVC icons in the bottom bar:

GET THE SOURCE CODE

To get the source code you'll need to go to the Source Control Tab ->Ellipsis (...) button ->Sync.

Once you press it you'll see a progress bar moving in the Source Control Tab and you'll see how the source code is downloaded to your local folder.

ENJOY

Now you can use your TFVC repository as described in their guides.If something is not clear or you have questions please let me know. I'll try to help you :-)

Get the software

• tee-clc (can be installed with HomeBrew), which depends on
• Java 6, 7, or 8 (see How to install Java 8 on Mac -- as of this writing, Java 9 will not work.)

Create a workspace using tee-clc ('tf')

Tell tee-clc to remember your credentials (in OSX's Keychain) by adding this line to your .bash_profile. Then close and reopen your terminal or just paste the same command.

Accept the EULA.

Create a workspace.

Map a path on the server to a local folder.

Get the code and store your password. Make sure you type your actual username; if you enter your_username here it may get stored in the OSX Keychain and tee-clc is really dumb about replacing it later.

If it works, it will download your code to that folder. You can also use the other commands.

Use the Azure Repos Extension on VS Code

Visual Studio Code Download Mac

Get the Azure Repos extension.

Add the following settings (CMD+,):

Type which tf in Terminal to find out what the value for location should be. I'm not sure if 'restrictWorkspace' is necessary. I got it from a comment on Github while I was troubleshooting.

Finally, open the folder containing your code. From the command palette (⌘+⇧+P) type Team: Signin. If that works, you can start using the other features in the plugin.

GIT

VS Code ships with a Git source control manager (SCM) extension. Most of the source control UI and work flows are common across SCM extensions.

More details please refer this tutorial：Using Version Control in VS Code

Note:VS Code will leverage your machine's Git installation, so you need to install Git first before you get these features. Make sure you install at least version 2.0.0.

TFVC

You can connect to TFVC using the Visual Studio Team Services extension since version 1.116.0 (2017/04/12).

Note:You need Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 2 or later.

Check the below link. It is working fine for me

Steps to be followed:

Step 1: Install Eclipse

Step 2: Download and install the TFS everywhere plugin

Step 3: Checkout your solution using the eclipse to a local folder

Step 4: Open the solution in Visual studio and make the code changes

Step 5: Open eclipse and commit your changes.
