TFS with mac os

Question

I have to use TFS for my Mac machine for iPhone app development. So that I have used the following step as from the Git-TF_GettingStarted.html

Extract the contents of Git-TF-Release-Preview.zip to a folder on your local machine, i.e. C:\git-tf on Windows, or /user/git-tf on Mac/Linux. for installation.

But while giving the command "git tf clone http://myserver:8080/tfs $/TeamProjectA/Main " an error is coming as

git: 'tf' is not a git command.

Then I have removed the tf from the command, at that time it get worked and asked the username and password, but authentication get failed.

How can I resolve this issue?, if anybody has idea then please help me.

Answer 1

You haven't actually set your PATH variable, which is why you're getting the command not found problem.

If you've set your path, using, as an example: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/git-tf-2.0.2.20130214, then the git command will allow the sub-command tf, which should work like the documentation suggests, as in:

git tf clone …

will work once you've set the PATH variable, otherwise you'll have to reference the git-tf command directly.

The command that is extracted is git-tf, and git is smart enough to look for the git-tf command if you have set the PATH and try to use the operation git tf.

You better go with TFS Everywhere http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4240

And use Eclipse like a client for your development in XCode.
