If you work a lot with github, then you are used to add a .gitignore file when you initialize your repository. If you create a project in TFS or Visual Studio Team Services this is not the case.

If you want to share your definition with other projects you have to use the REST API. First you have to extract your current build definition. Get a list of all build definitions and check the ids. Then use this ID to get the full definition. Now save the json to a file and remove all the clutter like _links, revision etc. I’ve marked all the sections that you can remove in the following … Continue reading How to move build definitions in TFS to other projects using the REST API
