Cloning TFS repository using git-tfs
I'm trying to clone a GIT repository in TFS using git-tfs using TFS 2013
git tfs clone http://servername:8080/tfs/DCM "$/Python"
Gives me:
error: the path $/Python you want to clone doesn't exist!
"DCM" is the name of the collection and "Python" is the name of the project:
I try to list the branches:
git tfs list-remote-branches http://servername:8080/tfs/DCM
which yields:
No TFS branches were found!
My instinct is that this is a syntax error, but not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Answer
As the main developer of "git-tfs", I'm very pleased you absolutely want to use it! But there is no need of it here ;-)
The repository you want to clone is already a git repository (see the small red git icon like the one in the git website).
git-tfs is a bridge tool to be able to import a TFVC history in a local git repository.
So, you just need to do a pure git clone, that should be something like :
git clone http://servername:8080/tfs/DCM/Python.git
The URL is provided by the web portal, at the exact page you are, in the upper right corner. You should have a 'clone' button...
