What are the advantages and disadvantages ...

Maybe i asked the question in the wrong category . so i'm sorry for that but i couldn't find the right category.

My question:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the use of TFS in combination with Git and

Jira? for merging , roleback reposities etc.

Refer the following Link : https://roadtoalm.com/2014/03/27/combining-tfs-version-control-and-git-with-git-tf/

TFS(Team Foundation Server) is Microsoft's answer to version control. TFS was designed big and bad-ass enough to support development of Visual Studio, like 5 million lines of code. [1] Since not everyone lives in Redmond, TFS tries to minimize network traffic and keep the work on the server.

Git is open-source. It was created to manage the source code of the Linux kernel, roughly 15 million lines of code. Development is distributed among thousands of contributors around the world. Many features and versions are in process all the time.

In first place I don't exactly understand your question - do you already have JIRA and Git integrated and now you want to integrate TFS as well?

My answer is based on the asuumtion that - you already have JIRA and Git integrated and now you want to integrate TFS as well.

Have a look at TFS4JIRA here
