Using Mac OS 10.13.6 and Visual Studio for Mac Community v7.5.4 Trying to connect to my company's TFS and access the files. I got stuck when it would not let me create a Workspace. I found this thread:

Connect VS code with TFS on mac

It says to download from https://github.com/Microsoft/team-explorer-everywhere/releases a zip staring with TEE-CLC... which I did. In Terminal, when I try running the command at the 1:20 mark in this video nothing happens. I double click the tf command in my Finder window and a Terminal window opens showing "Saving session...copying shared history...saving history...[Process completed]". Again, nothing happens.

I think I'm the only person at my company who is trying to use VS for Mac. Any thoughts?? I'm at the end of my rope just about.

The thread you are referring to is for Visual Studio Code. Since you are using Visual Studio for Mac, you should refer to the article below to connect to TFS:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/mac/tf-version-control

First, check the requirements of connecting to Team Foundation version control from VS for Mac, to see whether your environment meets the requirements:

  • Visual Studio Community, Professional, or Enterprise for Mac version 7.5 or later.
  • Visual Studio Team Services, or Team Foundation Server 2013 and later.
  • A Project in Visual Studio Team Services or Team Foundation Server, configured to use Team Foundation Version Control.

Then follow the steps below to install the extension and connect to VSTS/TFS:

  1. In Visual Studio for Mac, choose Visual Studio > Extensions... from the menu. In the Gallery tab, select Version Control > Team Foundation Version Control for TFS and VSTS and click Install…:

  1. Updates to the TFVC extension are made periodically. To access updates, choose Visual Studio > Extensions... from the menu and select the Updates tab. Select the extension in the list and press the Update button:

  1. Once the extension is installed, select the Version Control > TFS/VSTS > Open from Remote Repository menu item.

Choose either Visual Studio Team Services or Team Foundation Server to get started and press Continue:

  1. Enter the TFS server information or VSTS credential, and select a project.

After installing the extension, you can create a workspace from the Workspace combobox in the Open from Source Control dialog:
