TFS Repository Plugin for Bamboo can work with cloud-based TFS services. Here are the basic instructions of how to set it up.

1. Connecting to tfs.visualstudio.com

If you already familiar with Visual Studio Online, have an account and projects there you may start reading from the step 1.4.

1.1. Sign in

Go to http://visualstudio.com and sign in with your windows live account.

1.2. Create VSO account

Then you need a Visual Studio Online (VSO) account. This will be a home for your projects.

1.3. Create a project

Now you need a project. Let's create one.

1.4. Open my profile settings

Open my profile settings for the account which will be used by TFS Repository Plugin for Bamboo.

1.5. Choose the credentials tab

Then you need to enable alternate credentials (that will allow to use not only windows live authentication provider).

1.6. Enable alternate credentials

Provide an alternative password and an optional alternative username (you can leave it as is). These credentials will be used by TFS Repository Plugin for Bamboo.

1.7. Explore the code

Now explore the code (upload your files if you have an empty repository). Notice the repository URL and a path for the directory you want to setup a build from.

1.8. Configure Bamboo repository

Create a new TFS repository in Bamboo and enter the required information. That's all!

2. Connecting to codeplex.com

TBD soon
