git-tfs is a two-way bridge between Team Foundation Server (TFS/TFVC) and Git, similar to git-svn. It fetches TFS changesets into a local Git repository and lets you push commits, check-ins, and shelvesets back to TFS.

Use cases

• migrate a TFS repository to git
• clone a TFS project into a local git repo
• work in git but check in to TFS
• push git commits back to TFS as changesets
• browse TFS branches and pick one to clone
• create TFS shelvesets from git

When to choose

• your team uses TFS/TFVC but you want to develop locally with git
• you need a one-time or ongoing migration of TFS history to git
• you are on Windows with Visual Studio/Team Explorer installed

When to avoid

• your server is Azure DevOps with Git repos (use git directly)
• you need guaranteed support for the latest TFS features, since the project is no longer actively maintained
• you are on Linux/macOS without .NET Framework and Team Explorer dependencies
