git-tf not finding TFS project in VSO

I have a valid git repository on my local drive that I want to push up into an empty TFS project on VSTS. After configuring (using git-tf configure), every attempt to check-in the code is met with: "git-tf: Could not find a valid TFS Collection at https://mytestvsts.visualstudio.com/MyTestProject".

I'm using the check-in command as follows: 

$ git-tf checkin --deep --metadata --no-lock --keep-author

The username and password have already been saved as part of the configuration and it appears to be connecting okay.

I'm probably missing something simple here...any ideas?

Solution

  • You have the URL wrong, just use https://mytestvsts.visualstudio.com. MyTestProject refers to the team project.

    When you use git-tf configure, you should specify the team project in the form of the source control path, ex: $/MyTestProject

    Also it's worth noting that Git-TF is end-of-life and not being updated; Git-TFS is actively developed.
