Team Foundation Server 2015: Add Git and TFS Version Control repositories to the same Team Project

With Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 1, Microsoft introduces the option to add Git repositories to your existing team project created with TFVC (or vice versa). This is great if you are using TFSVC today and want to move to Git but you want to keep your work items, build definitions, and other data.

How?

  • Open the Team Project web portal inside your favorite browser
  • Go to the Code hub

  • Open the repository selector

  • Click on New repository…

  • Choose the repository type and a name for your repository
  • Click on Create
  • That’s it!

Remark 1: You need Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 to see the repository appear inside the Team Explorer view. VS 2015 RTM and previous version only show the repo created with the team project

Remark 2: It is possible that you have to configure some security settings to allow access to the new repository type. This will be fixed in Update 2. In the meanwhile you can follow the steps as explained here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/Library/vs/alm/Code/team-projects

A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t
