Visual Studio Team Explorer + VS Online Sync

I use VS Online + Git for version control, and everything went fine until recently, when I reinstalled windows and installed VS 2015. I opened VS and selected the Open from source control option and connected to my VS online account, but when I I tried to clone the project on my computer, I got an error:

Error encountered while fetching: Invalid redirect to a non-git endpoint

I tried several things (mostly by accident, because I could not find anything useful in this error), and nothing helped.

Then I opened Git bash and manually cloned the project on my computer and without any problems. After that I opened the project in VS and made some changes, fixed the dose changes locally without any problems, but when I tried to synchronize my project, I got the same error again. Again, pushing the code to the server from Git bash passed without problems.

I also tried to clone the project from another online VS account via VS + Team Explorer, and that was good.

Could you help me?

To solve this problem, I had to exit Team Foundation Server. In VS 2015, on the Team tab, select Disconnect from Team Foundation Server. You can close VS and restart it if you choose, but I don't think it matters. When VS returns, go to the "Team" tab again and select "Manage Connections", then click on the "Manage Connections" link, and then follow the steps to enter.

The same problem was discovered only now - after some google-fu did not change anything. But then I tried the following steps, and it worked (press manually before doing this or somewhere safe):

  • close decision
  • delete the whole directory where your repo is located.
  • (in the Team Explorer view) clicked on the repo name (this little down arrow)
  • there: projects> manage connections
  • rightclick your repo and delete it (maybe you need to switch to another one, otherwise you won’t be able to delete it while you downloaded it).
  • cloning your repo back to where it was

after these steps i was able to sync again

I had a similar problem, and I managed to resolve it by going to Team Explorer → Manage Connections → Connect to Team Project → Servers and delete all my TFS servers. In addition, I had to log out with all my accounts from Visual Studio, restart VS and login again and connect to GIT.

In the end, I added my TFS servers.
