TFS server example

What is tfs server? Give me an example

A **TFS server** is a **Team Foundation Server**, a Microsoft product (now succeeded by Azure DevOps Server) used for **version control, project management, and build/release automation**.
It’s often used in software development teams to store code, track work items (tasks, bugs, features), and manage the software lifecycle.

### Key features of TFS:
– **Version Control**: Supports both Git and older TFVC (Team Foundation Version Control).
– **Work Item Tracking**: Track tasks, bugs, user stories, etc.
– **Continuous Integration/Delivery (CI/CD)**: Automated build and release pipelines.
– **Collaboration**: Integration with Visual Studio for direct code check-in/check-out.

### Example scenario
Suppose your team is developing a web application.
– The **TFS server** stores your code repository.
– You open **Visual Studio**, connect to the TFS server, and check out a file to edit.
– TFS tracks the change, associates it with a work item (e.g., *"Bug #102 – Fix login error"*), and when you check in, the server updates the main branch and triggers a build pipeline automatically.
– Project managers can log in to TFS’s web portal to see progress, assigned work, and build results.

If you want, I can give you a **real-life example URL** of a TFS/Azure DevOps server setup so it’s easier to picture how it looks.
