When I create a new Git repository in a TFS project area, there are several options to add some code.
I’ve tried the import a repository a couple of times now.
The first run gave me this error after an extended period of time. This would indicate a connection timeout based on my experience with other tools and process.
We checked the logs in the EventViewer on the application server side but couldnt find anything. We suspect an SSL/cert issue between BitBucket and TFS 2018. This is also hosted in-house.
Please double check whether the URL is correct. And please notice import service relies on basic authentication to communicate with the source repository. If the username / password you are using are not basic auth then authentication will fail and import will fail. One way to check if the username / password you are using are basic auth or not is to try using Git to clone your repository using the below format:
git clone https://<<username>>:<<password>>#<<remaining clone Url>>

I tried multiple times to clone my project but every time I received NOT FOUND ERROR: 255
Please review the attached screenshot. Thanks you
Isnt TortoiseHG a Mercurial client. And you should not write git clone in the address field and most likely even not https.
Bitbucket stopped serving Mercurial projects, now it's only git.
I think you should try using Bitbucket's own git client.
Trying to push Xcode project to TFS (Git repository), i created local repository for my project in Xcode, then install Git Credential Manager from GitHub, then trying to connect repository from Xcode by adding remote or connect to git repository, but the error message is "Authentication failed because the authentication credentials were rejected."
Would you please provide me with the correct steps.
Knowing that TFS 2015 & Xcode 8.2
The easiest solution for me was to just add your local repository with command line.
git remote add origin ADRESSOFREPO
Afterwards you can use the version control in Xcode to push and pull
TFS 2017 offers you SSH access. The earlier versions, like 2015, requires to setup SSL and Basic Authentication on the server. I guess that this is not properly configured for you.
The steps to setup SSL are described in details in the docs.
Here you can find what is required to configure Basic Authentication.
A couple of caveats:
username should be entered in domain\user format
do not enable Basic Authentication on the default non-SSL site
Has anyone successfully set up VSO & Jenkins & TFS?
Server URL: https://<myproject>.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection
Login name and user password (using alternative credentials)
What domain name did you use? <domain>\username
If I run the tf command in Command Prompt, it succeeds, but Jenkins shows the same command as failing. I'm lost as to how to debug this. I also tried setting cached credentials for TFS, and not caching them. It seems as though Jenkins does not have cached credentials, but my command prompt does? Why would my system have stored credentials for me, but not Jenkins?
Error from Jenkins: TF30063: You are not authorized to access https://windwardstudios.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection
With the release of version 4.0.0 of the Jenkins Team Foundation Server plugin, Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) from Visual Studio Online (VSO) is now officially supported and both Personal Access Tokens (PAT) & alternate credentials can be used.
See the section User name and password in the wiki page.
This is an answer, but may not be what you want to hear. This used to work for us about a year ago. It required someone to stay logged into VisualStudio.com with his MSDN credentials on the build server. Then we simply didn't use credentials in the Jenkins TFS plug-in. Then one day, that simply stopped working. We tried alternative credentials, as #MrHinsh suggested, but never got it to work. Eventually we gave up and switched all of our TFS repositories to git (but still hosted on VisualStudio.com). That does work with the alternate credentials, and we have been very pleased since.
You need to configure Jenkins yo use the alternate credentials. It will not work with any other configuration and the credentials are never stored. Every command that you pass must include the same creds.
I'm trying to connect to a repository tfs a written project with xcode 5.
I'm using git-tf and it seems that the configuration in xcode 5 is correct.
The problem that feedback occurs when authentication with the TFS repository.
In xcode 5 open preferences and go in the accounts. I enter the login information with the url and in response I Access denied credentials are incorrect.
What am I doing wrong?
I was encountering the same issues when trying to authenticate in Xcode 5.
Make sure that you enabled Basic Authentication for your user profile for the TFS user account and that you selected "New Team project + GIT" instead of "New Team Project".
You can also try to clone the repository by using Terminal. Type the following command into Terminal and replace XXXXX with your values.
git clone https://XXXXX.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_git/XXXXX
Then provide your credentials. Terminal will now clone the repository when authentication succeeds and your credentials will be saved to your keychain. Now when you try to authenticate in Xcode it will use the saved keychain credentials and it will (probably) successfully add your TFS repository to Xcode.
I hope this will help you!

Share your Xcode projects in Visual Studio Online using a Git repository. Or, if your team project uses TFVC instead of Git, you can use the git-tf command line tool to check your files into Visual Studio Online.
Enable alternate credentials
You can’t sign in to Xcode with an account that contains an # character, so you’ll have to enable alternate credentials.
NOTE: This question was asked before the release of git support in the TFS Service, and this works quite well now. Read more about using tfs service with monodevelop here: http://sviluppomobile.blogspot.se/2013/02/how-to-use-team-foundation-service-with.html
We decided to try out Team Foundation Service (the TFS cloud version) because it has Git support which would (we hoped) help us manage both our VisualStudio and MonoDevelop code in one place.
The question is how to connect to the TFS service in MonoDevelop? From what I can see, I should use HTTPS protocol, for server I just type the name of our TFS service, and for user I type in my live id user#live.com and try to connect.
The problem is the url which becomes something like this
https://user#live.com#projectname.visualstudio.com/
Note the two # signs in the url. Seems that whatever git Tools are used behind MonoDevelop barfs on that:
NGit.Api.Errors.JGitInternalException: Exception caught during execution of fetch command ---> NGit.Errors.NotSupportedException: Invalid URL
If I try to omit the user name from the dialog, I get another error about unauthorized access.
Is there a way to enter/store git username and password somewhere on the mac or in MonoDevelop? I'm pretty sure this would work eventually.
Team Foundation Service (tfs.visualstudio.com, formerly tfspreview.com) does not host git repositories, only Team Foundation Server repositories.
It sounds like you may be conflating two different concepts:
Codeplex, Microsoft's hosting site for open source software, does support both TFS and git hosting, as well as Mercurial.
Microsoft recently announced the git-tf project that allows you to create a local git repository that tracks a remote Team Foundation Server repository.
git-tf was designed with cross-platform users in mind, who use an IDE that does not have native support for Team Foundation Server source code control. It sounds like using git-tf would probably be the most applicable for you.
