Status command (Team Foundation Version Control)

  • Artikel

TFS 2018

Visual Studio 2019 | Visual Studio 2022

The Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) status command, or its alias stat, displays information about pending changes to files and folders and pending change candidates in one or more workspaces. When you use the /shelveset option, the command displays information about pending changes in a shelveset.

Note

A pending change candidate is a file in the workspace's folder or subfolder that isn't added to version control. To view all pending changes candidates in Visual Studio, go to Team Explorer > Pending Changes > Excluded Changes, and then select Detected.

Prerequisites

To use the status command, you must have the Read permission for the source item and the Check out and Merge permissions for the target folder set to Allow. For more information, see Default TFVC permissions.

Syntax

tf stat[us] itemspec [/collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl]
[/login:username,[password]]
([/workspace:workspacename[;workspaceowner]] 
| [/shelveset:shelvesetname[;shelvesetowner]])
[/format:(brief|detailed)] [/recursive][/user:(*|username)]
[/nodetect]

Parameters

Arguments

Argument

Description

/collection: <TeamProjectCollectionUrl>

When you use the /workspace option, specifies the URL of the project collection that contains the workspace that contains the pending changes. For example: http://myserver:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection.

If not specified, by default the project collection is presumed to be the one that contains the workspace that maps the current directory.

Ignored if you don't use the /workspace option.

Note

See Remarks for the limitations of this option.

/format

Specifies how much detail to display about each pending change:

  • Brief (default): Displays one line about each pending change that includes: file name, changes, whether the item is locked as indicated by an asterisk *, local path, and user if using the /collection and /workspace options. Some of the data might be truncated.
  • Detailed: Displays a full description of each pending change. In addition to the above information, this option displays more data such as date and time.

<itemspec>

Specifies the items for which you want pending change data. For syntax, see Use Team Foundation version control commands. You can specify more than one itemspec argument.

/login

Specifies the user account to use to run the command. See Use Team Foundation version control commands.

/recursive

Recursively retrieves data about pending changes to items in the specified directory and any subdirectories.

/shelveset:<shelvesetname>[;<shelvesetowner>]

Specifies the shelveset that contains the changes you want to list.

This option can't be combined with the /workspace option.

/user

Lists all pending changes made by the specified user. An asterisk * includes data about changes from all users. The default is the current user.

Acceptable values for this option:

  • <username>
  • <useraccount>
  • Asterisk *

Note

See Remarks for the limitations of this option.

/workspace:<workspacename>[;<workspaceowner>]

Specifies the name of the workspace that contains the pending changes. If not specified, the workspace is the one that maps the current directory.

You can specify workspaceowner to get data about pending changes in a workspace that belongs to a specific user. If not specified, the workspace is presumed to be the current user, or if specified, the /login:<username>.

This option can't be combined with the /shelveset option.

Note

See Remarks for the limitations of this option.

Remarks

You can use the status command to view pending changes in the current workspace, for example the workspace that maps the current directory, regardless of whether it's a local workspace or a server workspace. You can also use this command to view pending changes in a remote server workspace, for example changes made by another user on another dev machine, by using the /collection, /user, and /workspace options. However, you can't view pending changes in a remote local workspace.

For more information, see Decide between using a local or a server workspace.

Examples

In all the following examples, assume that $/SiteApp/Main/ is mapped to c:\code\SiteApp\Main\ in the workspace.

List all changes in the current workspace

The following example lists all pending changes in the workspace:

c:\code\SiteApp\Main\SolutionA\>tf stat

List all changes in a folder

The following example lists all pending changes to all items in the SolutionA folder:

c:\code\SiteApp\Main>tf stat SolutionA\*

List all changes in a folder and its subfolders

The following example lists pending changes to all items in the SolutionA folder, including changes in its subfolders:

c:\code\SiteApp\Main>tf stat SolutionA\* /recursive
