Use TFS Proxy server for TFS Git Repositories

I understand that the TFS 2018 Update 1 and later versions of TFS should be able to proxy a Git Repository.

We are hosting a few Git repositories inside our on premise TFS Collection, running TFS 2018 Update 3.

We have multiple TFS Proxy servers setup in remote locations, currently servicing collections for TFVC Projects.

  • Is it correct that the TFS proxy should now be able to host a GIT Cache ?
  • How do we configure the proxy server to Cache on (or all ?) GIT repositories in our TFS Server.
  • What URL should be configured on the client side as Git Cache server ?

There is no documentation on this on the MSDN site other than 1 example command without explanation

TFSConfig Proxy /add /Collection:https://HelenaPetersen.tfs.visualstudio.com/PhoneSaver /inputs:GvfsProjectName=PhoneSaver;GvfsRepositoryName=AnotherRepository

Thank you

I don't think that's correct. As far as I know, Git caching via the proxy is not supported. TFVC is supported, and GVFS is supported. GVFS is not the same thing as Git; it is a Git extension for a very specific use-case.
