How can I get all my checkins in Visual Studio 2010 TFS?

Question

On Many occasions, I need to review my checkins.
Is there a way I can get all my checkins in TFS? I don't mean view history on a particular file, but all my checkins! If I can filter based on start and end date would be great

I am new to TFS!!!

Any suggestions

Answer 1

You can probably get what you need from the command line TF.EXE program. The command to do this should be something like this (run it from a Visual Studio command prompt):

TF.EXE history /server:http://tfs:8080 "$/" /recursive /user:username /noprompt /format:detailed

You can manipulate the "$/" to go to a more nested folder if you need to reduce your output.

You'll also want to redirect this to a file (using > output.txt or something) as there's a lot of information here.

TF.EXE history /? will give you a list of options.

Answer 2

1. Open "Team Explorer" (Found in "View"-menu)
2. Find the team-project and expand "Team Members"
3. Right-click the team member and select "Show Checkin History".

But it is very strange that one cannot do this filtering directly, when viewing the entire history of a team-project.

Yet another alternative is to use the "Link to"-search within TFS WorkItem:

1. Open a TFS Workitem
2. Choose the "All Links"-tab
3. Press the "Link To"-button
4. In the new dialog set "Link Type" to "Changeset" and press "Browse..."-button.
5. Now you have a TFS search dialog, where one can specify username and other filtering
