TF command-line tool: Add files to directory

2
votes

I want to syncronize my solution with outer directory.

I have 3 steps but new files and deleted files are problems:

  1. Check out All files : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\TF.exe" checkout c:\projeler\UnipaCode /recursive

  2. Sycronize files with another folder "C:\Program Files\SyncToy 2.1\SyncToyCmd.exe" -R

  3. Check in all files

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\TF.exe" checkin /comment:"test" /noprompt

What have you tried? This is pretty clearly documented and your question shows very little effort on your part. - Dan Puzey
Please be more clear about "outer directory". - John Saunders

tf add <file>

Current folder must be mapped as a TFS workspace for the current user. Then tf checkin to do the add.

Update for Question Edit

You can detect what is added and removed by comparing what TFS knows about (tf dir) with what is in your local filesystem. There is nothing inbuilt to determine this (no tf magically-workout-changes command) and apply tf add and tf delete.

Remember to allow for files that should not be added to TFS (eg. build intermediate files).

But, it would be far better to have have another workspace mapped to the "another folder" you are synchronising with and work directly with TFS from the source.
