[Help] How to connect to my TFS account?

[EslamNasser]

I followed the instructions on the README file:

• Set up a git repo and clone it locally.
• Sign up for TFS account and make a project there etc.

But when i open VSC i try to using the Team: Signin command i keep getting this error message:

"(team) No Team Services or Team Foundation Server repository configuration was found. Ensure you've opened a folder that contains a repository."

Although i have a folder with a git repo opened on VSC.

Am i missing something or doing something wrong?

Hi @EslamNasser, thanks for trying out the extension.

After cloning a repository from Team Services, it should be as easy as opening the root folder of the repository in VS Code. The extension will detect that it is a Git repo, determine that it is cloned from Team Services and ask you to run signin since you haven't provided any credentials yet. You can do this by providing your own PAT or by going through the new automatic flow. If that doesn't work, could you enable debug logging and provide the team-extension.log file here?

@jeffyoung I got it working, i think i was still using the repo cloned from GitLab instead of the one on Team Services.
Thanks a lot

That's great to hear @EslamNasser. Thanks for letting me know you got it resolved.

Yeah all that's needed for some is to clone a repo into another Dir. As I found out in my situation I was cloning into an old dir which I believe had some left over Git files and settings. Another option is to find these and delete these left over files and settings first > then re clone >Team: sign in.

Any thoughts?

Do not worry about this one, I was using SSH authentication, but there is an outstanding bug/issue microsoft/vscode#13680. For now I am using HTTPS

Hi,
I am new to Visual Studio Code 1.20.1. I have installed it on linux and want to integrate the code with my tfs server. I have clone the repository from server using https://github.com/Microsoft/team-explorer-everywhere/releases link but for some reason when I run the Team:Signin I get the error on top as "command 'team.Signin' not found".
Can anyone please help me.
Its Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit system.
thanks in advance.

You have to install an extension to connect to the corresponding repo. Try 'Azure Repos' under extensions.
