How to move a project from Git to TFS in Visual Studio

Question

I have a project that I've been working on for some time now and I just cannot make Git work for me. I've spent a day trying to recover lost code and I am done with Git.

Can anyone tell me how to move an existing project into TFVC? I have a Visual Studio Online account with a TFVC project all set up for this task, but I cannot figure out how to change the source control settings so that the project is no longer tied to Git.

I am currently developing on VS 2013.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Just delete the .git folder (this one is normally hidden) in the root folder (f.e. via Windows Explorer). This deletes all things related to git. After that add the code to your TFS project and check it in into TFS.

Answer 2

Here's the procedure.

1. Right click the project name in solution explorer.
2. Open Folder in File Explorer.
3. Close Visual Studio.
4. Delete the folder and files that have .git in the name.
5. Open Visual Studio and load the project.
6. Tools->Options->Source Control.
7. Pick TFS.
8. Go to Team Explorer tab.
9. Connect to your TFS server (I assume you have already created a repo)
10. Pick the right repo.
11. Right click solution in solution explorer Add to Source Control.
