So it’s pretty straightforward to transfer TFS code, with history, into Git. This post shows a simple way to ‘clone’ TFS into a new Git repo.

1) Install Chocolatey

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%systemdrive%\chocolatey\bin

2) Use Chocolatey to install GitTfs. Close Visual Studio first, though.

cinst tfsgit

Then restart the command window.

3) Choose a branch and get cloning;

git tfs clone http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/TfsInstanceName $/TeamProjectName/Path/To/Branch

That should sort you out.
