Parameters
Argument
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
<commandname> |
Specifies a tf command for which to display documentation. |
Remarks
When you need a command and aren't sure which one to use, enter tf msdn to see command reference articles and links to more resources. If you use the msdn command without specifying a commandname parameter, the article Use Team Foundation version control commands opens.
When you specify the commandname parameter, the documentation for that specific command opens. If the system can't find a match for the commandname, it searches for aliases and short names. If it doesn't find a matching command, alias, or short name, you get an error message.
For more information on how to use the tf command-line utility, see Use Team Foundation version control commands.
