Working with TFS source control folders without map to local folder

I have many projects in my Source Control folder, can I work from the server repository without mapping a local folder?

Solution

  • No, but you can configure you local workspace to only map to the folders you are interested in. You can also create more that one workspace.

    For example:

    1. Create workspace called "Project A"
    2. Create a Mapping from $/TeamProject/Stuff/MoreStuff/ProjectA to C:\Code\ProjectA

    Repeat for other projects you are interested in.

    You can now select a workspace to use in Source Control Explorer (and in Pending Changes). When you do a "Get Latest" on your workspace you will only get files you have mapped.
