TFS Command Line - Get Command

Question

Hi

I need to take all the changed (CheckIn) code files from TFS to my local using Command line.

my question is- should i need to write get command for every changed file.

I have multiple projects inside a website. Is there any way to get entire changes by a simpler command or by the label which has been made after all the files got CheckIn by the developers.

Thanks

Ram

Hello Ram,

 

You can simply do that by creating a workspace and mapping the root folder to one of your local folders then execute get once. This can be done using the following commands:

- tf workspace /new (This will bring up the create workspace dialog, select the server folder you want to get and the disk location to get the files to)

- cd (go to the directory on disk)

- tf get

The tf get will get all the checked in files for you.

Thanks, 

Youhana

Hi RamRajesh,

Please try use Get-TfsItemHistory, which is one of Windows PowerShell Cmdlets for Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server.For more information, you can refer to the following thread:
