Well, I started this topic mainly to share the experience I had with git-tfs recently with the community.
If anybody has anything else to share - it will be helpful for me as well.

Git in Visual Studio, Azure DevOps Services, and TFS is standard Git. You can use Visual Studio with third-party Git services, and you can also use third-party Git clients with TFS. To learn more, see Git and Azure Repos.
You should use Git for version control in your projects unless you have a specific need for centralized version control features in TFVC. In other words, if you have a very specific reason why you need to continue using TFVC, Microsoft would rather you didn't.
Git-tfs also needs to know the path in TFS that you want to clone. It can clone any path (other than the root), so you can clone an entire TFS project, or just one subdirectory of it. Use this command to create a Git repository in local-dir. The new clone includes the full history of $/Project/Path.
