TFS Could not specify workspace when executing tfs get from the outside

Question

I'm executing this command from location E:\app\

TFS.exe get "C:\Repo\" /recursive /noprompt /overwrite

in order to load latest changes from tfs to workspace inside C:\Repo\

and it's unable to determine workspace

Could not specify workspace. This can be improved by using the "tf workspaces /collection: TeamProjectCollectionUrl" command.

Unfortunely I cannot get it to work even with this suggested command

C:\Repo\>TF.exe workspaces /collection:url/Collection
Collection: http://url:8080/Collection

You need to map the C:\Repo to the project before running command tf get C:\Repo from location E:\app. For example, I mapped $/CMMIProject to local folder D:\Workspace\TFS2018\CMMIProject:

Then the following command will work:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0>tf get D:\Workspace\TFS2018\CMMIProject
