More and more of my TFS consulting customers are interested in Git. If you’re used to a centralized version control system like Team Foundation Server Version Control (TFVC), it can be a little tricky to make the move to Git — not because it’s all that hard — mostly because the terminology is completely different. So, are you a TFVC user who needs to wrap your head around Git? Here’s a little cheat sheet for you.
| TFS Version Control | Git |
| Workspace | Repository (aka. “Repo”) |
| Get Latest (First time) | Clone |
| Get Latest (After first time) | Pull |
| Check in | Commit + Push |
| Check out | (just start typing) |
| Branch | Branch |
| Merge | Merge |
| Code Review | “pull request” |
| Shelveset | Stash |
| Label | Tag |
Hope this helps.
