Do you know when to use Git for version control?

<introEmbed body={<> Team Foundation Server Update 2 and Team Foundation Server 2013 comes with built in support for Git as a version control system. </>} />

You should use Git if you:

• Are running an open source project
• Have lots of remote team members (as you get offline repo access with full history)
• Have an unstable/sporadic internet connection
• Develop in a non Microsoft environment (e.g. Linux, OSX)

There are also several disadvantages:

• No "My Work" view in Team Explorer
• No "Code Review" integration in Visual Studio
• No "Check in Policies"
• No SOX, FDA or CFD-11 compliance

At this point, SSW still recommends Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) as the version control system of choice.
