I'm following the standard approach that everyone is doing on the internet. I've installed chocolatey and git-tf. I've used the powershell command

git tf clone https://your-server/tfs/collection $/Project/Path local-dir

and for some reason it's showing that it's connecting but then it stops with the below error message: git-tf: The server's response does not seem to be a SOAP message. I cant find any thread on the internet addressing this problem, would be nice if someone could help ?

UPDATE: while using git-tf, the error message is "git-tf: The server's response does not seem to be a SOAP message." while using git tfs, the error message is "Please contact your administrator. There was an error contacting the server. Technical information (for administrator): HTTP code 200: OK"

Thanks

you talked about 2 tools that try to achive that `git-tf` and `git-tfs`. Please correct the question so that we really know which one you used... – Philippe Jul 09 '20 at 08:15
What version of TFS? – Daniel Mann Jul 09 '20 at 16:52
TFS version 2010 – Ibrahim Sello Jul 10 '20 at 02:59
Use git-tfs. Git-tf is no longer maintained and is an all-around inferior tool. – Daniel Mann Jul 10 '20 at 12:57
@DanielMann `git-tf` is perhap an inferior tool but it could be useful in some specific use cases. And, to be frank, nowadays, `git-tfs` is not a lot more maintained (I know, I am the maintainer)... – Philippe Jul 10 '20 at 13:58
