Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019

Visual Studio 2019 | Visual Studio 2022

The Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) tf history command displays the revision history of one or more files or folders. The command data is displayed in either the History window in Visual Studio, or if the /noprompt option is specified, at the command prompt.

You can also use Visual Studio to get revision history. For more information, see Get the history of an item.

Prerequisites

See Default TFVC permissions.

Syntax

tf hist[ory] itemspec [/version:versionspec] 
[/stopafter:number] [/recursive] [/user:username] 
[/format:(brief|detailed)] [/slotmode] [/itemmode] [/noprompt]
[/login:username,[password]] [/sort:ascending,descending]
[/collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl]

Parameters

Parameter

Description

/collection:<TeamProjectCollectionUrl>

Specifies the URL of the project collection that contains the items. For example: http://myserver:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection.

By default, the project collection is presumed to be the one that contains the workspace that maps the current directory.

/format

Specifies how much detail to display about each changeset when the /noprompt option is specified:

  • Brief (default): Displays one line about each changeset that includes: ID number, changes made, user who made the changes, date, and comment. Some of the data may be truncated.

  • Detailed: Displays a full description of each changeset. In addition to the preceding information, this option displays more data such as date with time, items changed, check-in notes, and check-in policy warnings.

/itemmode

You can't combine this option with the /slotmode option. For more information, see Matt Mitrik: Changing to Slot Mode in TFS 2010 Version Control.

<itemspec>

Specifies the items for which to display history. For syntax, see Use Team Foundation version control commands.

/noprompt

Suppresses the display of windows and dialog boxes, such as the History window, and redirects output data to the command prompt. See Use Team Foundation version control commands.

Doesn't display the history of revisions that occurred before an item was moved, renamed, branched, or merged.

/login:<username>[,<password>]

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

/recursive

Recursively retrieves historical data on items in the specified directory and any subdirectories.

/slotmode

You can't combine this option with the /itemmode option. For more information, see Matt Mitrik: Changing to Slot Mode in TFS 2010 Version Control.

/sort

Sorts the revision history for one or more files or folders in either of the following orders:

  • Ascending: From the oldest to the most recent revision.

  • Descending (default): From the most recent to the oldest revision.

You must use the /noprompt option with this option.

/stopafter:<number>

Specifies the maximum number of changesets to display in the history data.

/user:<username>

Filters the historical data to show changes made by the specified user. An asterisk (*) symbol includes data on changes from all users, the default.

/version:<versionspec>

Specifies either the maximum version, or the minimum and maximum versions by using the range ~ syntax. The default is /version:W, the version in the workspace.

You can't combine this option with the /slotmode option.

For syntax, see Use Team Foundation version control commands.

Remarks

  • To get more detailed information about a changeset, for example to see associated work items:

    • In the Visual Studio History window, double-click or right-click the changeset and choose Changeset Details.

    • From the command prompt, use the Changeset command.

  • The /collection option is useful for running this command from a machine and user account that doesn't have a workspace mapped to the project collection that contains the items.

Examples

The following examples assume that c:\code\SiteApp\Main maps to the main folder in the workspace.

Get the non-recursive history of a folder

The following example displays the history of the SolutionA folder in the Visual Studio History window, which enables you to explore earlier changes to the folder. For example, if the most recent change to the folder was a rename, you can expand the changeset to see changes that occurred before the rename.

c:\code\SiteApp\Main\SolutionA>tf history .

The following example displays the most recent change to the SolutionA folder in the command prompt window.

c:\code\SiteApp\Main\SolutionA>tf history . /noprompt
