Share your code in Git using Xcode

VSTS | TFS 2018 | TFS 2017 | TFS 2015

This guide shows you how to share your Xcode projects in a VSTS Git repo.

Prerequisites

  • A VSTS account. If you don't have one, you can sign up for one for free. Each account includes free, unlimited private Git repositories.

Create a local Git repo for your Xcode project

Create a local Git repo for your code to manage your project in version control.

If your project is already in a local Git repo, you can skip ahead to Create a new VSTS repo.

New projects

Create a local Git repo when you create a new project. Choose Create Git repository on My Mac when creating a new project.

Create a Git repo at the time of Xcode project creation

Existing projects

Create a local Git repo for your existing projects not in version control by going to Source Control, Create Working Copy... . Select the projects to add to the local Git repo and select Create. Xcode creates a Git repo for your code and adds a commit with your project files.

If you have already created a repo for your Xcode project in VSTS, you can skip ahead to Push your project.

Note

If you want to use SSH to connect to your VSTS Git repo, Set up SSH credentials and use the SSH clone URL when adding the remote for your local Git repo.

Push your project

Configure your Xcode Git project settings

  1. Select Remotes, then select the plus icon and choose Add Remote...

  2. In the Address field, paste the Git clone URL for your VSTS repo copied in the previous step. Select Add Remote, then select Done to finish creating the origin remote for your local Git repo.

  1. Go to Source Control, Push..., enter the branchname on origin to push to, and select Push.
