How To Checkin Files To 2 TFVC Projects At The Same Time

3/21/2017

Jeff here from the VSTS support team.

Someone asked how to map 2 VSTS TFVC Projects so we can checkin files to both projects at the same time. They wanted to see how TFVC/VSTS shows 2 projects for the same checkin notification(in particular, the teamProjectIds field). We can easily see that with a Web Hook Service Hook when we link our VSTS account to RequestBin for checkin notifications.

Let’s connect to the first VSTS TFVC Project in Visual Studio:

And map it to a folder underneath a folder that will be the root for both the TFVC projects we are going to checkin changes together for. I added TFVC to the default path, so I know these TFVC projects are together.

Now let’s go to Source Control Explorer to map the second TFVC project:

After we map it, we can create some files to get checked in.

And then add them to Source Control:

Here are the files waiting to be checked in:

Here are the pending changes waiting to be checked in:

Here is the resulting checkin for those 2 files in 2 projects:

Here is the full XML for the checkin:
