Git sync refuses to run because the settings dont match

[MartinGreen]

Im trying to use git sync to push our repositories into TFS but it fails with the error 'The settings you've introduced don't match with the stored ones for branch/repo XXXX. Stored are: XXXX'

I created most of these repositories by importing our old ones from svn (via git) so these old settings are for the temporary stuff i had during the import. How do i override these stored settings and get it to sync with another server?

Hello Martin,

The old sync configuration is stored at: C:\Users\<Your_user>\AppData\Local\plastic4\sync\git\<A-GUID-FOR-YOUR-REPO>.

if you are not going to re-import from git you can safely remove the directory, that will allows you to push to TFS without a problem.

If you plan to re-import from git then just backup a copy of the directory and delete the original, copy the original back to keep the Git sync.

Hi Manu,

Thanks, that fixed that problem and got me a bit further. Now its saying the credentials for the repository are not valid, but thats probably a TFS issue I need to look into further.

Is this the best way to use TFS with plastic or is there another way? I just want to try out the build server part for now, so i can see if its better than our current setup.

Hi Martin,

Oh, yes, the credentials issues has to be with the TFS server.

Yes, I think this is the best and only way to use TFS with Plastic. What do you mean with the "buld server" thing? We are open for demos and Q&A if you want

We currently use CruiseControl.Net for automatically building and deploying various projects, but its a bit clunky and involves a lot of powershell scripts just to do fairly basic stuff. I thought it would be easy to setup TFS to see how it would cope with the same tasks. Not sure why I thought that

Anyway, ill be playing with this again tomorrow afternoon so ill let you know if i have any problems. TeamCity is next on my list to test out if i cant get anywhere with TFS.

Thanks again.

Hi Martin!

how it went!? TeamCity is also a good solution we have a lot of users using it, and also Jenkins just for you to know.
