Linux Developers using GIT Repos in TFS on Prem

Question

We have TFS 2013 on Prem and have some Linux devs that want to be able to work with the GIT repos from the command line. TFS is using windows authentication.

What's the best way of making this work.

Local Git Repos then pushing changes up to the TFS repo? 

Anyone doing this?

Hi,

There is Team Explorer Everywhere tool that we could use in Eclipse and Cross platform.

Hi,

To work with the TFS Git server, you can use any Git command line tool. You can also use the Eclipse plugin Team Explorer Everywhere. 

But you will need to configure basic authentication for the TFS server to be able to connect using a username/password from a Linux machine.
