I have been working with a number of customers in the last year that want to move to VSTS. While many of them want to do the full Collection import, many do not.

VSTS Sync Migration Tools

Maybe they have too many Team Projects and they want to consolidate, maybe they just have too much baggage. Whatever the reason I needed to be able to push data around between TFS and VSTS… or even TFS to TFS. That is when the VSTS Sync Migration tools were born.

I initially had but a single goal of migrating work items, but since then it has broadened out to include many different types of data:

Since most teams migrate from TFVC to Git in TFS I was not interested in migrating code. There are some really good solutions for that already with Git-TF and Git-TFS being the best. I wanted the tools to be free as well, so while I always work in VSTS I publish the code and releases out to GitHub so others can participate.

You are welcome to Fork the repository on GitHub and I will happily accept pull requests, but know that my MASTER is in VSTS and not GitHub along with the entire automated build and release system. I release to NuGet , Chocolatey , GitHub , and the VSTS Marketplace .

Let me know what you think of the tools…
