Connecting TeamCity 8.1.3 to VS online Git

Question

I'm trying to connect TeamCity to a Git instance on Visual Studio Online. I've followed all the correct processes and added alternative credentials. These credentials work as I have TeamCity connecting to a TFSC instance on Visual Studio online.

I can connect to the repository and push to it from GitExtensions so I know the repository is fine. I'm struggling to work out what I've done wrong.

My error is:

TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server:

https://myAccount.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_git/TestTFSGit.

Team Foundation Server Url: https://myAccount.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_git/TestTFSGit.

Possible reasons for failure include:

• The name, port number, or protocol for the Team Foundation Server is incorrect.
• The Team Foundation Server is offline.
• The password has expired or is incorrect.

Technical information (for administrator):

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

The URL exists and resolves to my Visual Studio Online Git project. I have the following settings in the VCS root settings on TeamCity. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Team City means "Team Foundation Version Control" or TFVC when you select "Team Foundation Server". When connecting to a TFS hosted Git repository, you can select Git as Type of VCS instead.
