How to enable GIT support in TFS 2012 Update 2 (self-service)

Question

We have installed TFS 2012 with Update 2, but I can’t understand if Git support is enabled and how to create a team project using Git instead of version control of TFS. Is Git support supported only through tfs.visualstudio.com or in all TFS 2012 Update 2 installations? Do I need to install something separate on the server in order for Git to work? I installed the TFS tools for Git locally, but I still don’t see how to create a Git team project so that we can use TFS with our Mac work.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This is not true. It is available today at Team Foundation Foundation (cloud hosting) and will be included in the next major version (in place) of Team Foundation Server , TFS 2013, which is scheduled to be released by the end of the year .

Answer 2

Microsoft is about to release a preview of TFS 2013 next week, which includes local support for Git. The preview is marked as go-live, so you can use it in production without major problems.
