Installing Git-TFS without Git itself


Currently, the only way to install the Git-TFS bridge is through Chocolatey. When I tried it, however, it appears to install Git (for Windows) along with the actual Git-TFS package. I already have Git installed on my work machine, so I don't need it to modify/remove what's already there.

Is there a way to force Chocolatey not to modify my current Git install and just put in the Git-TFS package? If there is, how do I configure it to use with my current Git install?


Solution

  • I can't speak for other git clients, but if you're using the git-bash shell, you can download the source for git-tfs from github, compile it, and put it anywhere on your system and add that location to your path environment variable. The shell will find git-tfs and hook it in.
