I’m looking for a tool to browse and view files stored within a Team Foundation Server without using Visual Studio. As I’m doing most development on a virtual machine, it’s very annoying to wake it up only to have a look on a certain file.
So is there a way to browse a TFS without Visual Studio?
I use emacs and the TFS module for it.
A couple keystrokes retrieves a file from the server.
The tfs mode is built on tf.exe, the team foundation command-line client powertool.
Of course, you could use tf.exe by itself, or with an alternative editor, like notepad++.
