Team Foundation Server (TFS) and Local path


I'm one of the developer team. Is it okay if I changing the Local Path in Source Control Explorer on Visual Studio that different from the default directory?

So what happening if I do mapping/each team has different Local Path on Team Foundation Server and do check in on server?

Thanks,


Solution

  • It's fine to do that. All a workspace mapping does is control what source control path (ex: $/MyTeamProject/Foo) maps to on your PC (ex: C:\Source\Foo).

    The only thing you should keep in mind as a general rule is to always use relative paths for references -- don't assume everyone else will use the same local path as you.
