What is your experience with Git? None Basic familiarity, but not much use Use it regularly, but not with TFS Use it regularly with TFS, but want to learn more Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC 9/18/2018 Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC

What’s in it for you? How does Git help me develop software with TFS? Find out how TFS integrates with Git technology Work with lightweight branching and a great offline experience, one that allows edits and commits regardless of network connection How does this whole Git workflow integrate with TFS? We will take a trip through an end-to-end Git workflow scenario How do I get started and what are the best practices? Hear some pointers on getting started, sprinkled with a few best practices Notes/Assumptions: Focus is on 2013; 2013 brings out-of-the-box Git integration, whereas 2012 required plugins be installed. Hopefully our scenario is similar to yours. Let us know if it is not and we can discuss. Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC 9/18/2018 Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC

What is Git? Distributed Version Control System Linus Torvalds 2005 project for developing the Linux kernel Open source - based on community need for SCM after fallout with BitKeeping (proprietary SCM) Best in-class offline experience Advanced Edit/Commit file model Local copy of entire project (repo) Branching model supports workflows: branching-by-topic, feature branches, 3-way branch merges, rebasing Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC 9/18/2018 Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC

Feature Branch Workflow The core idea behind the Feature Branch Workflow is that all feature development should take place in a dedicated branch instead of the master branch. Lightweight branching: easily created and disposed of, easily merged, smart enough to rebase In the example above, “Animated Menu” is a feature Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC 9/18/2018 Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC

Modern source-control approaches: Git Distributed Version Control Open source Fully offline experience Simple branching model Modular codebases Distributed teams Working offline Open source integration Best for Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC 9/18/2018

How does TFVC work? Centralized Version Control System Check-in/Check-out model Scales to large Enterprise projects Local files (workspace) are read-only until checked out with server Partial offline support – centralized Edit/Commit model (local workspace) Fine-level permission controls Monitoring and auditability Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC 9/18/2018

Modern source-control approaches: TFS Centralized Version Control Enterprise scalable Automation and ALM Server-managed Large integrated codebases Allows usage monitoring Fine-grained permissions Control and audit down to the file level Best for Copyright © Crosslake Technologies, LLC 9/18/2018

Why Git with VS/TFS? Improved distributed team support through: Fully offline local repos Tight integration with the rest of the TFS ALM suite Lightweight branching and merging Adapting to many team workflows Collaborating with developers using Git-native tools, such as XCode Hosted code on different servers, such as Team Foundation, or Git servers like GitHub, BitBucket, and CodePlex Added features to Git: repo-level security administration, audit trails, code comments, Git commands in IDE, etc. If you’re using TFS to store your source code on a local server, or using TFS Service to host your code in the cloud with Microsoft, then you can access the SCM system from any device and any client that can connect to a git repo and issue git commands on the back end – meaning you can use poshgit or Git For Windows on your PC, or xcode on your mac, or git CLI (command-line interface) on a linux box, etc. So now Visual Studio allows you to have an IDE for git projects hosted outside MS, and TFS allows you to store git repos in a way that lets you dev from any machine and still take advantage of the TFS ALM workflow (work items, builds, project management).
