Scripting TFS workspace creation
I've worked with teams that have a common way of configuring workspace and working folder mappings. Although you could save these mappings to a wiki and let people copy-and-paste them into the workspaces dialog, there is another way.
A great way to share these mappings would be to script them using the tf.exe command line tools.
Workspaces are created using the "tf workspace" command.
tf workspace /new /server:http://tfs-server:8080 MyWorkspace
Working folder mappings are created using the "tf workfold" command. It's easiest to change to the local directory that you want to work from and run:
mkdir D:\Code\ProjectX
cd /d d:\code\ProjectX
tf workfold /server:http://tfs-server:8080 $/ProjectX
Enjoy.
