This translates to Git having a more flexible workflow since - your working area is a copy of the entire repository. This decreases the - overhead when switching branches or merging for example, since you don't have - to communicate with a remote server. -- **Storage method.** Changes in CVS are per file (changeset), while in Git - a committed file(s) is stored in its entirety (snapshot). That means that's - very easy in Git to revert or undo a whole change. - -Check also Microsoft's documentation on the -[comparison of Git and TFVC](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/tfvc/comparison-git-tfvc?view=azure-devops) -and the Wikipedia -[comparison of version control software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_version_control_software). - -## Why migrate - -Migrating to Git/GitLab there is: - -- **No licensing costs**, Git is GPL while TFVC is proprietary. -- **Shorter learning curve**, Git has a big community and a vast number of - tutorials to get you started (see our [Git topic](../../../topics/git/index.md)). -- **Integration with modern tools**, migrating to Git and GitLab you can have - an open source end-to-end software development platform with built-in version - control, issue tracking, code review, CI/CD, and more. - -## How to migrate - -The best option to migrate from TFVC to Git is to use the -[`git-tfs`](https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs) tool.
