Today we migrated from TFVC to Git.

Emotional times. This may become the reason for a future rant or it may be the best decision we've ever made (had made for us).

Oh boy that is going to be fun! We moved at the beginning of this year. Make sure you have decent guide lines and people actually read it. 😅 Just saying... 😂

@barptad Agreed. Sometimes the key to success with any version control system is more about how it's implemented as opposed to the actual choice of technology.

Gonna happen for us soon. Can't wait.

"yeah can you just make it 'pop' a bit more? That'll be great yeah"

I'm using TFVC currently for university project and we need also to migrate to git. (though external got server)
Any problems or Tipps? :D

Yaaa well I use Microsoft team services to host git repos, never liked tfvc

@Daniil only problem so far is that I can't clone a repository in Visual Studio. I think it's related to my install missing the Git dlls. Nothing Other than that so far but it is still very early days.

Best tip so far has mentioned above, make sure you agree your source control strategy at the beginning so your team is working consistent.

@gitpush I've never used anything other than TFVC. I've always found it good and straightforward to use but be good to see how Git compares. It seems to be the more popular option.

@LynxMagnus it's about flexibility, I can use git with any os, any ide. While tfvc you need plugins and usually they are either buggy it makes IDE heavy

Git is a treat, hope you enjoy it!

So far I like it, just need to get used to it. Gave up on trying to get it to work with VS2017 though...

@LynxMagnus NEVER EVER USE GIT AND VISUAL STUDIO!!
It's a mess Microsoft needs to improve it and make it as good as it is in visual studio code. For meantime use console

@gitpush yes it seems very temperamental. Cmd prompt failed too, keep getting "fatal" errors.

I can only get it to work in VS 2015.

@LynxMagnus I'm very adamant about using git from the terminal. I feel like people that use this generally have a lot of trouble understanding what's going on.

For me git tools in visual studio just felt like bad UX for me, for example that tree view to show changed files is a complete mess, git controls in vscode, Android studio are better. Even xcode does this right (first time saying something good about xcode 😓)
