I would like to know how to connect Xamarin Studio with a TFS (Team Foundation Server) for source control purposes or, if it's not possible, how to connect Visual Studio 2010 to Git.
I am already trying to use TFS from http://tfs.visualstudio.com/ and it's working great with VS2010 but I couldn't find a way to connect it to Xamarin Studio.
The goal is to manage all source codes in the same way - the developers are located in different places so the server should be placed in internet - and I think I will decide among TFS or Git. I tried to use the Git Plugin but it doesn't work with VS2010.
Is there anyone who already found a good solution? I know there's a plugin for VS2012 (Using Git with Visual Studio) but I found nothing for 2010 version.
I tried to use this too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efS0kKvfi6k but I think it's not what I am looking for (reliable way to manage source codes from a server)!
I am ready to install and use other source control systems too, if they can manage sources from VS and Xamarin Studio.
First, you have to have a git-enabled team project. Then from Xamarin Studio click on version control menu then choose checkout. Enter your team project url tfs credentials to git clone it.
Xamarin studio integrates with git and subversion out of the box now, and will connect to any tfs projects that have been git enabled. (i don't use subversion so i can't speak to that one)

I was using Eclipse PTP plugin to sync the code between my local and build server. It does not require the remote side to install anything (which is my requirement too as I can't install any software at that side), I believe internally it use Git. I am wondering does Visual Studio Code has a similar plugin.
I am using an extension call Sync-Rsync which work very well for me. I am able to use it because I confirmed that both local and remote has rsync installed. And I am very happy with this tool.
My ultimate goal is to completely migrate eclipse (mars) project into Visual Studio environment.
During my research, I have tried several options:
1) Create project from existing code. Doesn't apply to my case, since my project is a combination of .java and .jsp files, wizard only offers C++, C#, Visual Basic options.
2) TFS plugin for eclipse.
3) Checking in the project from eclipse into tfs.
Within the third option, I am planning to create a new team project, and check in the project from eclipse based on that article manual.
My question is will I be able to open and operate project I checked in inside VS environment?
I am also opened to any other suggestion, which might help me resolve that problem.
If you have an Eclipse project and you want to move to something like Visual Studio there are three options:
Java Language Support plugin
Visual Studio Code
Java Language Service for Android and Eclipse Android Project Import
Except for the latest, I expect you have to review the build script to make it work in the new environment.
TFS/VSTS is language agnostic and has no interested in IDE and has no "project conversion" support.
No, sharing(check in) the project in Team Foundation server just means to source control the code. You can't directly using them in VS environment.
However you can download the project and work on it locally(local eclipse). Then check in the changes to TFS server. More details please refer: Importing Projects from Team Foundation Server
Here is a tutorial includes step-by-step instructions to help you get
started with the Team Foundation Server plug-in for Eclipse.

I'm trying to setup a VCS, in Android studio, to sync my android project between my desktop and my laptop. But it's not looking an intuitive procedure for a noob.
Can someone tell me the exactly steps I need to do?
I'd like to add a remote private Bitbucket repository (mercurial preferred over git), and push/pull changes using Android studio GUI. That's all, no branch, no merge, just a simple sync of java source files and xml resource files.
Is this possible?
Thank you all in advance.
I get occasional upvotes for this answer, so a bit of clarification is needed. The original answer was written, and true, when AS was in beta, before the 1.0 release. Nowdays, as of AS 1.1.0, the VCS integration is included in the IDE out of the box.
It works directly with both Bitbucket, Github (git and mercury) and some other VCS:es. So there is no need to play around with plugins for that. Just use the VCS menu and find what you need.
Old outdated answer:
Im regularily using the bitbucket plugin. To install it download the BitBucket plugin. In Android studio
File->Settings->Plugins and Install plugin from disk where you choose the entire plugin zip. That installs it without fuzz on win 8.
Try the bitbucket plugin: http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6207?pr=androidstudio
In general, for anything that is a generic IDE function (not specific to Android), you can simply follow IntelliJ's documentation.
In Android studio
File->Settings->Plugins
Enable Enable Subversion Integration checkbox and Apply
Then, Restart Android Studio and SVN will be integrated
I need to checkout and manage a project from TFS (Team Foundation Server) and was wondering if there is an easy way to do this.
I usually use SVN, but for this particular project, TFS is a requirement.
The best way I've found so far with a bit of Googling is at http://marceloverdijk.blogspot.com/2009/01/grails-netbeans-and-microsoft-team.html
Short answer, no I don't think there is any easy way to integrate the Netbeans IDE and TFS. However there are some options.
Firstly you could use the SVN bridge this allows subversion clients to connect to TFS. If that is viable then you should be good to go. Here are a couple of blog posts that you may find useful when using TFS if you have a SVN background. SVN to TFS. If SVN Bridge doesn't meet your needs then there are other ways to use TFS but none of them are integrated in to the Netbeans IDE.
If you're developing on Windows then you can install Team Explorer (Use the version that matches the version of TFS you're using e.g. if you're connecting to TFS 2010 then install Team Explorer 2010), this will install a Visual Studio Shell and the Team Explorer plugin. Along side that it will install the "tf" command line utility, you then have a choice of using either a GUI with the VS plugin, or the command line.
You should also install the TFS power tools, they add some usefull functionality such as extra command line tools (using the "tfpt" command) they will also install windows explorer integration, this will allow you to do some basic Source Control functions from the Right Click menu in windows explorer (Check out, check in, diff etc)
You should also look at Team Explorer Everywhere, I don't think it does Netbeans integration but it does do Eclipse. If you're developing on an OS other than Windows then this is your only option.
To use any on these tools you must have a TFS CAL to be licenced properly. If you have an MSDN licence that will probably include a CAL, if not then someone needs to spend some cash and buy one :-).
Since TFS started to support Git repositories, it is possible to:
create TFS project for Git
after project creation use url from Code tab
to configure Git Repository Location in NetBeans IDE
Once you have the tf.exe (from Visual Studio or Team Explorer) there is a plugin that can be configured to do the TFS commands from NetBeans:
Download plugin from: http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=676
Install the plugin in NetBeans: Tools\Plugins\Downloaded\Add Plugins…
Configure the plugin in NetBeans: Tools\Options\Path Tools
At Edit Commands For File enter: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\tf" checkout "{path}"
Press Ok
With a file selected in the editor, or the package explorer press the “Edit Path…” toolbar button.
The file is now checked out in TFS.
Make sure to use the proper path to tf.exe.
There are 3 buttons, so you can configure 3 TFS actions (I use checkout, add, delete).
Microsoft actively supports only Eclipse for TFS integration.
At this page there are more info and the possibility to upvote, to report your interest in such a feature directly to Microsoft.
In NB 8.2 you can setup Kenai Team Server.
then you will be able to login into a team server : menu Team->Team Server -> login
I'm looking to possibly move away from CVS (to maybe SVN).
Anyone know which open source version control systems integrate with the VB6 IDE (automatic checkouts, etc.) ?
SVN will work with VB6. there is a VB6 version of SVN that intergrates with the IDE called SVNVB6.
Let me direct you to: svnvb6.tigris.org
Tortoise SVN attaches to Windows and you can use it with anything including VB6, .NET or just files on your PC.
Visual SVN integrates with Visual Studio, although I don't know about the VB6 IDE:

There are some answers here regarding Subversion and VB6:
