Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code is a free, open-source code editor, fit for personal or commercial use. It comes readily equipped for most programming languages, including but not limited to CSS. NetBeans is an open-source code editor tool for developing with Java, PHP, C, and other programming languages. With this editor, code analyzers, and converters. It is one of the best code editor for Windows that allows you to upgrade your applications to use new Java 8 language constructs. Platforms: Mac Windows Linux.

  • I mean I'm already annoyed by the branding of Visual Studio Code, just googling for how-to's and documentation on either is chaos let alone the userbase confusion between the two. This just adds more layers of confusion.

Caution

The preview TFVC extension for Visual Studio for Mac is no longer supported in Visual Studio 2019 for Mac.

Alternative Version Control options in Visual Studio for Mac

Visual Code For Mac

For the best version control experience on macOS, we recommend using Git instead of Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC).

Git is supported in Visual Studio for Mac and is the default option for repositories hosted in Team Foundation Server (TFS)/Azure DevOps. To learn more about using Git with TFS/Azure DevOps, see the Setting up a Git Repository guide.

Unsupported workarounds for TFVC

While Visual Studio for Mac doesn't officially support TFVC, the rest of this guide provides some workarounds to work with TFVC on macOS. If you're using TFVC for version control today, here are some solutions you can use to access your source code hosted in TFVC:

  • Option 1. Use Visual Studio Code and the Azure Repos extension, for a graphical UI
  • Option 2. Connect to your repo using the Team Explorer Everywhere Command Line Client (TEE-CLC)

Option 1. Use Visual Studio Code and the Azure Repos extension

Visual Studio Code For Mac C++

If you like to work with a graphical interface to manage your files in version control, then the Azure Repos extension for Visual Studio Code provides a supported solution from Microsoft. To get started, download Visual Studio Code and then learn how to configure the Azure Repos extension.

Option 2. Connecting using the Team Explorer Everywhere Command Line Client

Important

As per the Team Explorer Everywhere README, this project is no longer being maintained.

If you're comfortable using the macOS Terminal, then the Team Explorer Everywhere Command Line Client (TEE-CLC) provides a supported way to connect to your source in TFVC.

You can follow the steps below to set up your connection to TFVC and commit changes.

Setting up the TEE-CLC

There are two ways to get setup with the TEE-CLC.

  • Use Homebrew to install the client, or
  • Download and manually install the client

The easiest solution is using HomeBrew, which is a package manager for macOS. To install using this method:

  1. Launch the macOS Terminal application.
  2. Install Homebrew using the Terminal and the instructions on the Homebrew home page.
  3. Once Homebrew is installed, run the following command from your Terminal: brew install tee-clc

To setup the TEE-CLC manually:

  1. Download the latest version of the tee-clc from the releases page of the Team Explorer Everywhere GitHub repo (e.g. tee-clc-14.134.0.zip at the time of this writing).
  2. Extract the content of the .zip to a folder on disk.
  3. Open the macOS Terminal app and use the cd command to switch to the folder you used in the previous step.
  4. From within the folder, run the command ./tf to test that the command line client can run, you may be prompted to install Java or other dependencies.

Once the TEE-CLC is installed, you can run the command tf eula to view and accept the license agreement for the client.

Finally, to authenticate with your TFS/Azure DevOps environment, you'll need to create a personal access token on the server. Learn more about authenticating with personal access tokens. When creating a personal access token to use with TFVC, be sure to provide Full Access when configuring the token.

Using the TEE-CLC to connect to your repo

To connect to your source code, you first need to create a workspace using the tf workspace command. For example, the following commands connect to an Organization in Azure DevOps Services called 'MyOrganization':

The TF_AUTO_SAVE_CREDENTIALS environment setting is used to save your credentials so you aren't prompted to enter them multiple times. When prompted for a user name, use the personal access token you created in the previous section and use a blank password.

To create a mapping of your source files to a local folder, you'll use the tf workfold command. The following example will map a folder named 'WebApp.Services' from the 'MyRepository' TFVC project and set it up to be copied into the local ~/Projects/ folder (i.e. a 'Projects' folder in the current users's home folder).

Finally, you use the following command to get the source files from the server and copy them locally:

Committing changes using the TEE-CLC

Visual Code Studio For Mac

After you've made changes to your files in Visual Studio for Mac, you can switch back to the Terminal to check in your edits. The tf add command is used to add files to the list of pending changes to be checked-in and the tf checkin Remington 742 woodsmaster serial numbers. command performs the actual check-in to the server. The checkin command includes parameters to add a comment or associate a related work item. In the following code snippet, all files in a WebApp.Services folder are added, recursively, to the checkin. Then, the code is checked in with a comment and associated with a work item with the ID '42'.
