How to create Portable Workspace in TFS like SVN?

In SVN I checkout the code on Removable HDD and able to connect to any other machine & checkin & get latest code. Just by entering Username & Password.

TFS however loses track of local changes.

Was wondering if it is possible to checkout the code from TFS into portable HDD, connect to other PC and check-in the code from there.

I tried searching a lot, but could not find right references. I am hopeful that it must be supported.

TFS tracks workspaces, files and file states by computer name and workspace name. To be able to keep working on different physical computers, you should at lease match below conditions:

  • use always the same drive name ( you could change it in computer management)

  • After connecting on new computer, need to update the computer name of workspace:

    tf workspaces /updateComputerName:MyOldComputerName /s:http://MyTFServer:8080

    It will move workspace to your current computer

More details about the tf command please refer: Workspaces Command
