From the Visual Studio Tools menu, select Options, then select Source Control > Plug-in Selection. Select Visual Studio Team Foundation Server. For Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, enter the name and port number for the Azure DevOps Proxy Server. Select Use SSL encryption (https) to connect.
Visual Studio 2022 for Mac brings a new, fully native macOS UI built on .NET 7, plus native support for the Apple M1 chip. It all adds up to faster, more fluid daily coding time for you.
TFS will provide us with 5 user free of charge, which means we can have up to 5 free user at the same time. If you delete one of them and replace him with someone else, that number will still be identified as 5. If you need to get 6 or more, you need to make a purchase.
TFS supports agile development practices, multiple IDEs and platforms locally or in the cloud and gives you the tools you need to effectively manage software development projects throughout the IT lifecycle. Visual Studio Professional Edition provides an IDE for all supported development languages.
TFS is a rather broad term and describes a whole suite of solutions. I’m assuming that you mean the version control section for my answer.
There is no support for TFVC, which is the older versioning control system that used to be default in TFS.
Since some time now, TFS and VSTS (basically the cloud hosted version of TFS) have switched to Git. Git is supported from Visual Studio for Mac as well as a lot of other tools of course.
If you still want to use TFVC, I have only found one option which isn't pretty. I installed Eclipse (the IDE for Java) which has a plugin for the TFVC version control. It looks and works pretty similar to how it looks in Visual Studio for Windows. It has some quirks and I would be surprised if it is still actively maintained, so use with caution and if you have the possibility look into switching to Git.
Edit though they seem to be working on it! If you check out the linked blog post you will see that support is in the works and I think there is a preview you can download today.

According to the comment below the blog post, it seems not stable for now. If you want a more stably solution of using TFS source control on Mac, you could try to use Visual Studio Code, which is more of a fast, lightweight code editor.
With the help of Visual Studio Team Services extension on Visual Studio Code, it allows you to connect to Team Services and Team Foundation Server and provides support for both Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) and GIT. More details can be found at Connect VS code with TFS on mac
