The version control in Visual Studio on PC works fine using the same git back end. I am hoping that a similar, better UI exists in Visual Studio for Mac. If it does then it might be time to upgrade from Xamarin Studio. May 29, 2017 For your case which is more related to version control, I will move it to vs general forum for better support. Your understanding and cooperation will be grateful. Best Regards. However, because Visual Studio for Mac has Version control system integration, you can use Subversion and Git without leaving the IDE. Subversion is a centralized version control system, which means that there is a single server that contains all files and revisions from which users can check out any version of any file.
The only two options I can see are git and subversion. I tried entering the url using the subversion option and it did ask me for credentials but the correct credentials never worked.

TFS can use either TFVC (Team Foundation Version Control) or Git for the source control part. You don't have to use an external Git server, it has an internal one - with the data stored in the TFS SQL database. You create your first repo when you create the Team Project, but you can add repos later and you can mix TFVC and Git repos in the same Team Project - since 2015.2 I think.
Microsoft is still in the denial and marketing speak phase but TFVC is basically dead, even Microsoft is using Git for all their new repos. I'm ready to bet Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio for Mac will never connect to TFVC.
Edit: I lost my bet for Visual Studio Code, it can connect to TFVC using the Visual Studio Team Services extension since version 1.116.0 (2017/04/12).
