tf help <commandname>

Parameters

Argument

Argument

Description

<commandname>

Specifies a TFVC command for which to display help about the syntax.

Remarks

  • If you don't know which command you need, enter:

    • tf vc help for a list of supported TFVC commands.
    • tf git help for a list of supported Git commands.
    • tf settings help for a list of supported server settings commands.

  • If you specify the commandname parameter, the command line displays information about the arguments and options for that command. If the system can't find a match for the commandname, it searches for aliases and short names. If it can't find any matching command, alias, or short name, you get an error.

  • The option /? is an alias for help. If you use the /? option with a command, the system invokes the help command and displays syntax information for the command you entered.
