“The major difference with branching between Git and TFVC is that TFVC makes copies of the parent from which it branched while Git branches are just pointers to a commit. On the other hand, Git simply creates a new stream of commits for a branch. Thereby keeping only deltas between commits and branches.”

  2. Select “Windows Credentials” and locate the credential associated with Git.  
    1. ie, “git:https://hub.techsols.int” 
  3. Click “Edit” and update to latest Windows password.
