TFS to Azure DevOps Migration

Question

I am undergoing the process of going from a very old TFS to Azure DevOps. There is a consideration whether to use TFVC or GIT. I used the git tfs deep clone feature to create a repo and it was about 3 GB. Does that mean the repo is too large to use as a git repo? If I cannot logically break it into smaller repos, does this mean I have to continue using TFVC instead?

Answer 1

does this mean I have to continue using TFVC instead?

Not necessarily, you have a few options:

• use Git LFS on your Azure server, as detailed by Microsoft in "Manage and store large files in Git"
• use an intermediate server with VFS for Git active, which would then allow you to work with Git repos of multiple hundreds of GB(!).
