Team Foundation Server Integration

Maria Khalusova

If you’ve read our latest posts, you might get excited about the cool stuff that’s coming in Maia, but wait a minute; there are already lots of great features in IntelliJ IDEA 8.1 that you can touch right now, while looking forward to get the first Maia EAP.
I’m talking, for example, about the full Team Foundation Server integration, that is already available. All you need from version control is included.

  • You can perform all common VCS functions like commit, update, revert, show differences and history, automatic check out of modified files, etc.
  • You can create and merge branches, lock and unlock files and view the history of committed and incoming changes, link the existing work items to your changelist.
  • IntelliJ IDEA also lets you create and manage TFS workspaces.

But that’s not all. The most remarkable thing is that IntelliJ IDEA’s TFS integration doesn’t require Microsoft’s TFS client installed; furthermore, it works under any OS, not only Windows.

    I cannot connect IntellJ Ultimate 14.1.4 to my TFS Online (a.k.a., unfortuntely misnamed by Microsoft as “Visual Studio Online” instead of what it really is,”TFS Online) using VCS / TFS / Edit Configuration / Add … / Address https://myname.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection / Auth: (all three fail) /.

    Is there some *DEFINITIVE* *DETAIL* instructions on how to connect JetBrains products such as IntelliJ Ultimate 14.1.4 to “TFS Online” (a.k.a., Visual Studio Online)?

Using the Terminal in IntelliJ IDEA

In this video we're going to take a look at IntelliJ IDEA's built in terminal. This performs the same function as your operating system's terminal or command feature, but using the terminal inside IntelliJ IDEA has a number of benefits. Opening the IntelliJ IDEA Terminal Window In this example we have a simple Spring Boot application that needs a running MongoDB database. We can open the terminal window with ⌥F12 on macOS, or Alt+F12 on Windows and Linux. The terminal supports all the same commands that the operating system supports.
