Azure DevOps (self hosted)
-
I am currently in the process of setting up Azure DevOps for the first time, which will be self hosted on one of our dev servers. (I have never used TFS before either... well, aside from a failed attempt in setting it up a few years back). Any of you lot have any experience with it? Particular any obvious "gotchas" that I am likely to hit that you could pre-warn me about? Currently we use Mercurial for source code, so that will be a conversion job over to Git at some point. Thanks in advance for any advice. I also welcome your input if you just want to laugh at my impending doom.

Do not use TFS - go with Git from the beginning... in any case Microsoft made it the default for new project...

Yep I will use Git. :thumbsup: My TFS comment was just because I know DevOps is just TFS renamed and wanted to highlight the whole thing is new to me, rather than just being new to the latest stuff.
It started as online-hosted TFS, but got renamed when started to expend and now TFS is only a part of it... and actually unnecessary...

If project and team is small and server must be in-house, you can consider Azure DevOps Express. Free for 5 member teams and runs on single machine. However, hosted Azure DevOps would be my choice. When you consider hardware, configuration, maintenance, updates , backups , TCO is cheap.
