Is Checkout function supported in Visual Studio Team Services?

Question

Today we are in a small development team, we are in 3 people. One question, Visual Studio Team Services has this function or we need a server for with TFS installed just for this function?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to have the Check-out function on VSTS.

This is because who determines the availability of this function is not the service (TFS or VSTS), but a combination of two factors:

1. The type of repository in use, which should be TFVC (Git does not support the known check-out); and
2. The type of Workspace on the developer’s machine, which must be of the Server type (local workspaces do not maintain the status of the files checked out on the server).

Answer 2

In Azure Devops we have two types of repositories:

• Azure Repos Git (Default)

• Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC)

To enable TFVC, you must perform the following steps:

After this procedure, you can access the repository:

In Visual Studio, it is the same way to work:
