TFS to Azure DevOps Migration










0















I am undergoing the process of going from a very old TFS to Azure DevOps. There is a consideration whether to use TFVC or GIT. I used the git tfs deep clone feature to create a repo and it was about 3 GB. Does that mean the repo is too large to use as a git repo? If I cannot logically break it into smaller repos, does this mean I have to continue using TFVC instead?

          Not necessarily, you have a few options:



          • use Git LFS on your Azure server, as detailed by Microsoft in "Manage and store large files in Git"

          • use an intermediate server with VFS for Git active, which would then allow you to work with Git repos of multiple hundreds of GB(!).

          • An in fact git itself without any modifications may be just fine here. My repository (the Azure DevOps repo) is about 3 GB and we're reasonably happy with it without VFS for Git.

          • @EdwardThomson That means... a git status (mentioned in gvfs.io) is not too long? By the way, didn't you say in a recent podcast you had to change www.gvfs.io? (to something like vfs4g.io)
