Azure DevOps–Migrate from TFVC to Git

There is a nice feature in Azure DevOps I wasn’t aware it existed.

You can directly migrate from TFS Version Control to Git through Azure DevOps. The import experience is great for small projects. For bigger projects it is recommended to first remove all binaries and executables from the source repo.

Here are the steps to use this feature:

  • Browse to your Azure DevOps (Server) environment
  • Select the project where you want to create the Git repository
  • Go to Repos –> Files

  • From the repo dropdown at the top, select the Import repository option.

  • On the Import repository dialog, select TFVC as the Source type.
  • Now you can specify the name of the repository / branch / folder that you want to import.
  • You can also decide if you want to migrate some of the history. You can migrate up to 180 days of history starting from the most recent changeset.

Thanks Jef for the tip!

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
