How to link two files with same name in two different folders in tfs

Question

I am using 2013 tfs, in which i have created normal folders where i keep my files to track changes made by different users.

Now i want to keep same file in two folders and want changes done from one place to be reflected at all places where ever i have kept(linked) the file in different folders.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

Do you mean that once a file changed, another file will be also updated accordingly?

You can sync the files with merge:

1. Convert the folders to Branches,
2. Check in the changes to one branch
3. Merge the changes from one branch to another

See Merge folders and files and Merge Command for details.
