Work Items, Pull Requests menu not visible in Visual Studio
The reason is that you just connect to the local git repository and it likes this:
You configured Remotes (Home=>Settings=>Repository Settings=>Remotes), so you can commit and sync.
Refer to these steps to connect to the remote repository.
- Go to Team Explorer
- Click Manage connections=>Connect to Team project
- After that Open Solution in Solutions section (if it is empty, you need to clone this repository)
I had the same issue. It was resolved by re-connecting to the tfs-server. on VS 2017 Team Explorer go to 'Manage Connections' and 'Add Server'.
Steps using VS (Visual Studio) 2019:
- Manage Connections > Connect to a Project...
- Expand server, and project to find the repo you want, then
- If it is already cloned, "Connect" should be the default option - click it!
And why Microsoft doesn't just auto-magically do this bewilders me! I could sync and all, but no Pull-request until I jump through this little connect to the server/project/repo steps..
