The platform integrates various tools such as version control, work item tracking, and automated builds and deploy. One of the core functions of TFS is Visual Studio, which developers use to write code and manage their projects.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Need_to_Change_Project_Paths\"><\/span>The Need to Change Project Paths<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a developer using TFS and Visual Studio, you may need to change the local path of your project files for various reasons, such as moving the project files to a different location on your computer or switching to a different hard drive. Changing the local path in TFS is a straightforward process, and the following steps outline how to do it effectively.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Open_Visual_Studio_2019\"><\/span>Step 1: Open Visual Studio 2019<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To start the process, open Visual Studio 2019 and navigate to Team Explorer. You can do this by selecting View -> Team Explorer from the main menu.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Select_the_Pending_Changes_Tab\"><\/span>Step 2: Select the Pending Changes Tab<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the Team Explorer pane, select the Home icon, and then click on the Pending Changes tab.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Right-click_and_Select_%E2%80%9CAdvanced_-%3E_Move%E2%80%A6%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Step 3: Right-click and Select &#8220;Advanced -> Move&#8230;&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the Pending Changes tab, you will see a list of all the changes that you have made to your project files. Right-click on the folder that you want to change the local path for, and select \u201cAdvanced -> Move\u2026\u201d from the context menu.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Select_New_Location_for_Project_Files\"><\/span>Step 4: Select New Location for Project Files<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the Move dialog box, select the new location for your project files by browsing to the folder you want to move them to. You can also type in the new path manually in the \u201cDestination\u201d field.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Start_File_Transfer\"><\/span>Step 5: Start File Transfer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have selected the new path, click the \u201cMove\u201d button to start the file transfer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Wait_for_File_Transfer\"><\/span>Step 6: Wait for File Transfer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Visual Studio will now transfer all files in the folder to the new location on your computer. This may take a few minutes, depending on the size of your project and the speed of your computer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_Delete_Old_Folder_Optional\"><\/span>Step 7: Delete Old Folder (Optional)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After the transfer is complete, you may receive a message asking if you want to delete the old folder. If it is no longer needed, you can select \u201cYes\u201d to delete it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_8_Confirm_Success\"><\/span>Step 8: Confirm Success<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You have now successfully changed the local path of your project files in TFS Visual Studio 2019. You can confirm this by checking the \u201cLocal Path\u201d column in the Pending Changes tab, which should now show the new location of your files.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing the local path in TFS Visual Studio 2019 can be a useful tool if you need to move your project files to a different location on your computer or switch to a different hard drive.
