Getting ready

In this section, we'll cover how to download and set up git-tf to prepare for the migration:

  1. Download the git-tf command-line tools from the Microsoft Download Center (http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/E/2/AE23B059-5727-445B-91CC-15B7A078A7F4/git-tf-2.0.3.20131219.zip), and then extract the ZIP file into the C:\git-tf folder
  2. To access git-tf directly from the command line, add the C:\git-tf path to your path environment variable
  3. Create a folder, C:\migrated, to store the migrated repositories 

In this example, we'll assume that the host TFVC repository that needs to be migrated is hosted on the http://myOldAzure DevOps ServerServer/Azure DevOps Server/DefaultCollection Azure DevOps Server server in the $/OldTeamProject/App2BeMigrated folder.
