## What it is
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- you need guaranteed support for the latest TFS features, since the project is no longer actively maintained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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: version-control, developer-tools, cli
- domain: version-control, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli, dotnet
- tags: git, tfs, tfvc, git-svn-like, vcs-migration, csharp, command-line
