I'm using Git and TortoiseGit locally under Windows against a Team Foundation Server with Team Foundation Version Control (not Git!).

When working with TortoiseGit against a Git server it's pretty easy to pull, fetch, and push. But using git-tfs I need for every push, pull or fetch to go to the command line and perform the associated git tfs ... commands. Although they can easily be covered by Windows .cmd files, I'm looking for a possibility to work with the TortoiseGit GUI as well.

Is there any possibility to add the TFS remote in .git like [remote "origin"]? Entries line [tfs-remote "default"] already exist, but are not used by TortoiseGit.

No. that's not possible to treat a git tfs push as a simple git remote. The had the idea when I was actively developing git-tfs in the past but concluded it didn't worth the effort.

I'm looking for a possibility to work with the TortoiseGit GUI as well.

I don't know if it's possible to run custom command from TortoiseGit. But I know that it is easily done with another GUI GitExtensions with the feature called Scripts.

I made it in the past to ... use git-tfs ;)

PS: and personally, I find that GitExtensions is a better GUI than TortoiseGit as it better reflect how git is working (TortoiseGit has some remaining influences of it's TortoiseSvn father ;) )
