Checkout FINN.no’s story of migrating to Git http://tech.finn.no/given-the-git/

A number of similarities, and in addition it covers GitHub Flow, maintaining externals forks, and Atlassian Stash.

Henning

Just interested in how much you’re paying for TFS licences? I thought that the server was only about 3000 USD and that CALs were included with MSDN. Is that not the case?

Cheers

I really like the article but I wish you would add more examples for merging and resolving conflicts. Also how do you update to a particular revision number (since they are all guids?)

Louis,

Because of the way MS if restructuring its partner program, we’re actually looking at Git. We’re losing our Gold partner status as of october because of those changes, and won’t be able to reapply for the new program until next year.
That means we have to pay for the licenses we already have, which would hopefully make it easier to introduce Git. We’d have to pay probably upwards of 100-200 000 USD for all our licenses, which is gonna suck.
Reducing that cost by using Git would be great .

Henning, I feel for you. Unfortunately, there is a psychological barrier for switching from a $20,000 TFS license to a free Git system…

Awesome!! Just what I needed.

Now, only if my company would migrate from TFS to Git
