Create a new high level folder in TFS without downloading all project using Team Explorer Everywhere command line Linux

Question

I want to add new folder to TFS that will contain a new project. I'm using "Team Explorer Everywhere 2013" for Linux.

The folder structure is like the following

$Main\HighLevelFolder\Project1
$Main\HighLevelFolder\Project2
...
$Main\HighLevelFolder\ProjectN

I want to add a new folder, e.g. $Main\HighLevelFolder\ProjectX in the most efficient way.

I can either checkout the entire $Main\HighLevelFolder and create a new project folder in it, and check it back in. But there are quite a lot of projects. I would rather create the folder on the server, then checkout just the folder.

(I am actually using Git-TF for checkout/checkin against the TFS server.)

https://stackoverflow.com/a/641987/1336249 Gives me a hint:

.. map the server-side folder to a workspace on your local machine ...

But it's not clear how to do that under the TEE command line. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Git-TF does not require a folder to have been created in TFS already.

git tf configure http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection $/Path/To/{folder}

git tf checkin --deep

And the new project folder is created
