4 We will migrate all the tfvc repos into one git repository called "migration" as a staging area to facilitate the process of moving the individual solutions into its final git location. This can be done in a delta fasion until we restrict the tfvc repos and everyone starts working off the git staging repo.
5
6 Feature branches can be merged back into master via a pull request and the feature branches that are not applicable anymore can be abandoned.

11 The process to sync the tfvc to the git repo
12
13 1. pull all the latest changes from TFVC via cli
14 \\{{code language="powershell"}}tf vc workspace /new migration /collection:https://dev.azure.com/ebsphere
15 mkdir c:\dev\src\migration
16 cd c:\dev\src\migration
17 tf vc get{{/code}}
18
19 1. do an extract and dump into excel to generate the copy commands
20 \\{{code language="PowerShell"}}forfiles /P C:\dev\src\migration /S /C "cmd /c echo @isdir;@ext;@path" >>list3.txt{{/code}}
21
22 1. execute copy commands from excel generation
23 11. this will split the source into master and feature branches
24
25 1. A recon step must be performed at this stage to make sure all files where copied this is performed in excel
26 11. get directory listing of copied files (dir/s/b %path% > list.txt) and dump into "recon" sheet and "recon" column in main sheet will indicate if any are missing with a 1
27 11. rectify any problematic items
28
29 1. run the [[tf-sync.ps1>>doc:technical-documentation.Source Control.migration.tfvc.tf-sync.WebHome]] script
30 11. this will parse the directories that was created into the migration repository
31 111. see [[mappings >>doc:technical-documentation.Source Control.migration.tfvc.mappings.WebHome]]for structure
32 11. this will create or update the migration repository in GIT
33 11. an .gitignore gets injected this will make sure binaries are excluded
34 11. subsequent runs if the repo already exists will create a feature branch for the main branches timestamped with the date is was ran
35 ie: /feature/master-20220202-172700

37 = Disable TFVC repository =
38
39 After a repository has been moved to the staging environment and a call has been made to switch off the old repository we will put the old repository in read-only mode, the steps are:
40
41 1. Notify the team and request that any pending changes need to be committed
42 1. Do a final delta migration of the repository
43 1. Disable inheritance on the repository
44 1. Remove Contributors group
45 1. Make sure the Readers group is present
