Some missing command line utilities for Team Foundation Server 2013


I feel like I’ve been spending my life doing Team Foundation Server migrations and upgrades lately.  (It’s only partially true.)  Anyway, there have been a handful of command line tools for TFS2013 that I’ve wanted and just got around to writing them.

Here are the features:

  • List work item folders for a Team Project
  • List work item queries in a folder for a Team Project
  • Export a work item query to the console or to a file
  • Import a work item query from a file to Team Foundation Server
  • List Team Projects in a Team Project Collection (TPC)

Ok.  I’ll admit it.  They’re not the sexiest utilities ever but they’re really handy for restoring work item queries from their original *.wiq files in the process template or copying work item queries between team project.
