Working with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System (Pro-Developer)

Command-Line Utilities

Many aspects of Team System are managed by command-line utilities. These are the same tools that Microsoft's internal developers built to use themselves for testing and troubleshooting.

• TF.exe

  TF.exe is the command-line utility for Team Foundation Version Control system. It enables any user to interact with Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) from any environment. By passing the appropriate switch, you can perform all the following functions: Add, Branch, Checkin, Checkout, Delete, Difference, Dir, Get, Help, History, Label, Lock, Merge, Permission, Rename, Resolve, Shelve, Undelete, Undo, Unlabel, Unshelve, View, and many others.

• TFSBuild.exe

  TFsBuild.exe is the command-line utility for interacting with Team Build.

• TFSDeleteProject.exe

  TFSDeleteProject.exe is the command-line utility for deleting unwanted team projects.
