Creating Projects and Folders in VSTS

Creating Projects and Folders in VSTS

Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) allows you to create a repository for storing and managing your source code (software application) as well as a place that your team can plan, collaborate, upload related documentation and track the progress of your project. Within each project all the source code and related files are isolated from all other projects which helps with the management and collaboration of that project.

  1. Once you’re in Visual Studios Team Services select “Create project”

  4. Version control – Select Team Foundation Version Control
  5. Work item process – Select Agile as the process
  6. Submit – Select “Create” to generate the Team Project
