docfx project with git under tfs

Question

I'm trying to create docfx project. Sources are hosted on TFS server in GIT repository.

Everything is ok except absence of Improve this Doc link.

Is there way to make this link appear and work for such configuration?

Which version of TFS are you using? Do you use DocFx Build Tasks[https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=chrismason.vsts-docfxtasks] to generate documentation site? You could follow this blog [https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/premier_developer/2017/04/14/documentation-in-a-devops-world/] to use DocFx Build Tasks. If misunderstand anything, please share your steps here. — Cece Dong - MSFT, Dec 07 '17 at 03:18

No. I created `git` repo on `TFS`. Then clone it, then run _docfx init_ in local copy. — Boris Nikitin, Dec 07 '17 at 10:57

Try adding this part to docfx.json

"globalMetadata": {
  "_gitUrlPattern": "vso"
},

I could reproduce your scenario. There is no Improve this Doc link when you the repo clone from TFS 2017, but the link does show up when you clone repo from VSTS. It seems Improve this Doc link doesn't support on-premises TFS, I'd like to suggest you open an issue on the site below to get help from Docfx side:
