Migrating from TFVC to Git with code history
To make it easier for you to switch from TFVC to Git, Azure DevOps server now provides an out-of-the-box migration workflow, called import repository. The import repository option can be reached from the code hub. This allows you to migrate a TFVC repository into Git with history. However, the tool only allows you to migrate up to 180 days' worth of history from your TFVC repository. Not being able to migrate the entire history from the TFVC repository may be a dealbreaker for some. The following image shows you how to get to the import repository dialogue, the image also shows the migrate history options available to you:
