Is there any way to migrate a git repository to TFS with all it's history like versions, branches and push messages? Now the source is on Github and I want to migrate that to my local TFS repository.

Introducing git-tfsgit-tfs provides a two-way bridge between a local Git repository and a TFS server. git-tfs allows you to do your local development in a Git repository, and still synchronize your work with a TFS server.
Microsoft recommends Git ReposYou 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.
Cloning the whole TFS Project CollectionYou can clone all projects by specifying $/ as the tfs-repository path. If you do not specify a git repository name, it will clone into tfs-collection .
In TFS there is no simple way to save the state of your changes (file additions, modifications, file deletions), and switch to another state of code. (For example, to work on two features and switch back and forth). In git, you simply checkout a different branch.
Install git-tf from Codeplex source, MS Downloads, or better yet:
choco install git-tf
Then run the following commands:
First you need to configure your GIT repository
git tf configure http://yourserver.com:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection $/RepositoryName
Check in the files, optionally persisting author/USERMAP:
git tf checkin --deep --autosquash --keep-author
This process is very slow, but it works, so ensure you have plenty of time to spend migrating. The only downside is that commit time will be the current checkin time, not the original changeset time.
