Add command (Team Foundation Version Control)

TFS 2018

Visual Studio 2019 | Visual Studio 2022

The Team Foundation Version Control add command adds files and folders to a TFVC repository.

Prerequisites

Syntax

tf add itemspec [/lock:(none|checkin|checkout)] [/encoding:filetype] 
[/noprompt] [/recursive] [/noignore] [/login:username,[password]] 

Parameters

Parameter Description
/encoding: <filetype> Ignore this parameter.
itemspec Specifies the scope of the items to add. You can specify more than one itemspec argument.
/lock Applies or removes a lock. See Use Team Foundation Version Control commands.
/noignore By default, version control ignores certain types of files, such as .dll files. You can configure which kinds of files to ignore by using a .tfignore file. See Customize which files version control ignores. The rules in a .tfignore file apply to the add command when you specify a wildcard in your itemspec. To override these rules, specify /noignore.
/noprompt Suppresses the display of windows and dialog boxes and redirects output data to the command prompt. See Use Team Foundation Version Control commands.
/recursive Recursively adds items in the specified directory and any subdirectories.

Examples

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

Add all new files in a local workspace

New files in a local workspace are automatically detected. You can promote these newly detected files to your pending changes.

The following command adds the latest versions of all items in a local workspace, except those items that are ignored:

c:\code\SiteApp\Main\SolutionA\Project1>tf add

The following command adds the latest versions of all items in a local workspace, even items designated as ignored:

c:\code\SiteApp\Main\SolutionA\Project1>tf add /noignore

Add individual items

The following command adds the files program1.cs and program2.cs:

c:\code\SiteApp\Main>tf add program1.cs program2.cs

Recursively add all items of a specific type

The following command adds all C# code files (.cs) in the current directory and any subdirectories:

c:\code\SiteApp\Main>tf add *.cs /recursive

Work in Visual Studio

Tips

  • The results of the add command are queued as pending changes and don't take effect on the server until you check them in. See Checkin command.
  • To set aside changes or clean your workspace for another task, use the Shelve command.
