I am converting my source code from TFS to Git and I want to convert any .tpattributes files into .gitattributes files.
It appears the pattern syntax is the same for both files, so I am wondering if it as simple as renaming my .tpattributes files to .gitattributes files?
Or will more need to be done to ensure the syntax is compatible with Git?
You can start by renamming the .tpattributes files, but, do check (with a git status before and after) that it does not ignore too much.
As mentioned in this answer
.tpattributesare not recursive. (In fact, they cannot be, since you can have advanced workspace mappings.)
You will need a.tpattributesin each folder.
However, a .gitignore applies to the current folder, and all folders below.
