Bluemix: How to revert from toolchain to old DevOps services - ibm-cloud

I've tried Bluemix open toolchain and would like to revert to old devops services. How could I accomplish this?
I see "Toolchain" button for my new apps and have no idea how to revert to "Add Git" button.
Thanks in advance

I can "Add Git" in my owned organisation. But in other organisation, there is "add toolchain".

We are not generally planning to support a move back to "add git" because the latter is deprecated. The old-style "add git" will eventually completely be replaced with open toolchain. However, since the product is currently in an experimental phase, we can revert individuals as long as they first delete any existing toolchain in your organization. This is important because these toolchain will interfere with the old hub.jazz.net
In Summary:
delete any existing toolchain in your organization
reply to the e-mail which enabled you indicating that you did the delete and that you want to be reverted

How to push Flutter project to Github and have other members download the same project?

I am making a Flutter application in Android Studio and i would like to throw it on a blank repo I have in my Github account. Is there a proper way to push the Flutter app that will allow my group members to be able to download the same project and work on it?
That is one of the purposes of a repository. Being able to work together with people on a project. You should setup your repository and have your files uploaded to that repository. Once you have done that, go to settings of that specific repository, click collaborators (somewhere on the left side), and there should be a field which allows you to add other people to that repository via invite, so that they can work on it.

Cloning a GitHub project into Visual Studio 2013

The canonical question on 'how to use Git in Visual Studio?' appears to be this one posted by Herb Caudill.
One of the more recent answers notes (correctly) that "Visual Studio 2013 natively supports Git".
So when I go to a Github page (supercolider's is the one I'm trying to clone) and click on the 'Clone in Desktop' button I would expect (hope) that Visual Studio 2013 would take up the link and clone the repository. That is not what happens, instead Windows (I'm using 8.1) asks me if I would like to visit the store to find an app that can handle files of type (github-windows).
What is the correct way to clone a GitHub repository in Windows under Visual Studio 2013? The various MSDN pages (e.g. Share your code in Git or Setup Git on your dev machine) mention GitHub but do not explain how to use it.
It is super easy once you know how :)
From within Visual Studio 2013:
Select File -> Open -> Open From Source Control
The Team Explorer window will come up, one of the sections is "Local GIT repositories". In that section choose "Clone".
That will bring up a path selection textbox and directory browser. Simply replace the default path with the git URL (in your case "https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider")
Thats it!
Note: unless specified otherwise, Visual Studio will store the actual files here:
C:\Users\\Source\Repos\
What you do is go to the Team Explorer, click the Connect to Team Projects, select the Clone option and enter the URL of the Repo you wish to clone and press Clone
To expand on neo12's answer & address the canonical question "how to use Git in Visual Studio"
I agree with neo12. Additionally you can also navigate directly to solutions from the Team Explorer "Local Git Repositories" section by double clicking them
Here is a walk through I put together to explain in concise detail. The video is less than 2 minutes. Let me know if this helps.

TFS Service - Can it be used with Eclipse AND Git

Recently I tried out the new TFS-Service, and really liked the built in Scrum template for project management, and the new ability to create a team project managed with Git.
It would seem that the Git integration is only possible when using Visual Studio on windows though. Using Eclipse (with the Team Explorer plugin) I was unable to work with a git-based team project.
Is this really the case?
Heres what I've tried:
In TFS Service, I have a git-based team project with some commits in it.
In Eclipse, I connected to the team project, but it seems I can't pull or even see the source in any way. Source control explorer doesn't show any code (or any paths even).
In TFS, I created a new git-based team project. In Eclipse I created a new project and used Team -> Share... to try and get the code into TFS. But selecting TFS there doesn't seem to have the disired effect: it doesn't understand that it's a git-based team project, and so it doesn't try to push the code with git, but upload it to a new path ($/some/path/here/).
So is that it, or perhaps there's a workaround? Maybe I did something wrong?
BTW - I know about using TFS with git-tf, and I'm OK with that option, but it's not what I'm asking.
Thanks.
We're working on improving this for the next major version of Team Explorer Everywhere (TEE), but this is what you'll want to do today.
Eclipse already has a full featured Git version control provider in the eGit plugin. This is installed in many versions of Eclipse but if you do not have it you can install it from here:
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/node/1336
To use eGit today against the hosted service you must enable alternate credentials in TFS (click on your name in the top right corner, My Profile, Credentials then enable and configure your credentials).
Once this is enabled you can point eGit at your service account repo and you are good to go. In the Import or Share wizards pick Git and then follow through th eGit dialogs.
When you make a commit, if you add #123 into the work item comment it will associate the commit with that work item number when you push it to the server.
Now, I mentioned that we are trying to make this better. What we are aiming to do is show you both your TFVC and your Git related projects when you import and share and if you have picked a Git repo then we'll help you get your credentials set up, clone it and get the version control parts of Eclipse hooked up to eGit (assuming you have eGit installed). We'll also make sure that the other Team Explorer Views (such as work items, builds etc) all work great and that links to Git commits etc do the right thing. Hope that makes sense - but if anyone wants to talk more about how Git projects will work in future versions of Team Explorer Everywhere then feel free to drop me a mail (martinwo#microsoft.com)

How to enable branching in VSS

I am running Visual Source Safe 8.0.
I am trying to create 2 branches for my project, but I find that the branch option is dialed in the versions menu.
Can anyone tell me how to enable it.

"Here's the quickest way to branch: Versions -> Share -> check the "branch after share" box."
...
"If you click that checkbox then the item will never be shared. The branch happens immediately."
You need to share a file before you can branch it in SourceSafe.

How to recover a deleted branch in TFS?

I deleted a branch in TFS and just found out that I need the changes that were on it.
How do I recover the branch or the changes done on it?
Specifically in Visual Studio go to "Tools-Options" then Select "Source Control-visual Studio Team Founation Server" and check the "Show deleted items in the Source Control explorer".
Having done that - you can then right click a folder and say "Undelete"
As described in the TFS FAQ:
Are Deletes physical or logical? Can accidental deletes be recovered?
Deletes are fully recoverable with the “undelete” operation. You wouldn’t want to do a SQL restore because that would roll back every change to the TFS in the time since the file was deleted.
