Version Control with TFVC and GIT: 2-in-1
Version control helps you to track the changes you make in your code over time by taking a snapshot of each file when you edit the code. With the help of TFVC and Git you can easily achieve this. Professional developers need to know Git and TFVC so they can move between projects with ease.
This comprehensive Learning Path is designed to teach you core concepts of version control and to use them with the help of TFVC and Git.
Contents and Overview
This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.
The first course, Version Control with TFVC, will show you how to configure your environment to work more effectively. You’ll go through branching and merging which are the mainstays in many version control systems. Also, understanding which branching strategy to use can be difficult. Explore various branching strategies, and also implement a strategy in TFVC. Lastly, you’ll learn about the branching strategy to work in an organization. Later, we will see how to use it, tracking the changes and merging the changes.
The second course, Version Control with Git, dives into version control using Git. After explaining the difference between centralized and distributed version control, you will be shown how to configure the Git environment. Once you have configured the environment you’ll see how to work with Git in your day to day activities. We will look at what it takes to administer your Git setup. This course ends with setting up the workflows in Git and also see Basic Workflow, Forking Workflow, Feature workflow, open source workflow and Gitflow Workflow.
By the end of this training program, you will be well versed with concepts of version control and will be able to deliver great code using TFVC and Git.

Version Control with TFVC
This video gives an overview of entire course.
In this Video, we are going look at version control concepts and how it is vital to work with any source control system. Join me as we dig into version control concepts.
This video is going to set an understanding of the terms used in TFVC that will help you better understand what’s going on in the tool. Author will discuss some common terms.
This video will describe Workspaces which are at the heart of working in TFVC. Author will introduce them you to workspaces in this video.
In this Video, we will discuss changesets and shelvesets.
In this Video, we will introduce you to the control explorer and various commands that you can run in it.
In this Video, we will show you how to get code into TFVC. Then will show you the web UI way and the client UI way.
In this Video, we will learn the steps that you have to perform to commit changes into TFVC.

In this Video, we are going to introduce various branching models.
Now that you have a branching strategy in place, it is time to learn the mechanics of branching in TFVC.
Sometimes we have some complex branching strategies in place. It really helps to look at them in a visual hierarchy to understand what changes are in what branch. This video is all about branch visualizations.
With any branching strategy you need a solid merging strategy. In this video we are going to look at how to merge and resolve any conflicts that may arise.
