I have installed VS Code to Mac OSX. I would like to connect to my companies TFS server, so I could work on the project from mac as well. The company is not using Visual Studio Team Services (was VS Online), still using TFS on company servers. Microsoft's Visual Studio team said it has released an extension for Team Foundation Services that works with Visual Studio Code. The extension allows developers to manage pull requests directly from Git repositories and monitor builds and work items for team projects. Jun 26, 2013 In the list of features in the Install dialog box, select the check box that corresponds to Team Explorer Everywhere. Choose the Next button two times. If you agree to the Microsoft Software License Terms, accept them and then choose the Next button. Restart Eclipse when you are prompted. :-) And if you do that, you will have to point Visual Studio for Mac to your older version of XCode in Visual Studio -> Preferences -> Projects -> SDK Locations -> Apple. Click the Browse button and locate your older version of XCode and select it, then restart Visual Studio.
The only two options I can see are git and subversion. I tried entering the url using the subversion option and it did ask me for credentials but the correct credentials never worked.

TFS can use either TFVC (Team Foundation Version Control) or Git for the source control part. You don't have to use an external Git server, it has an internal one - with the data stored in the TFS SQL database. You create your first repo when you create the Team Project, but you can add repos later and you can mix TFVC and Git repos in the same Team Project - since 2015.2 I think.
Microsoft is still in the denial and marketing speak phase but TFVC is basically dead, even Microsoft is using Git for all their new repos. I'm ready to bet Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio for Mac will never connect to TFVC.
Edit: I lost my bet for Visual Studio Code, it can connect to TFVC using the Visual Studio Team Services extension since version 1.116.0 (2017/04/12).
