How cool would it be if there was a PowerShell Provider for Team Foundation Server? Where you could CD into a Project and DIR its work items? It’s very cool! Check this out…

PsTFS – TFSProvider

“TFSProvider allows you to browse a TFS server as in Windows Explorer.
At the root of the provider you can access:

• Workitem
• SourceControl
• TeamProject

In each subset it is possible to navigate to other elements.
If you are in a TFSProvider orders PsTFS not need to setting a variable $ tfs

Sample : Workitems route of a project

PS TFS:\> cd TEAMPROJECT
PS TFS:\TEAMPROJECT> dir
Name

Demo23
DemoAuto
MyDemo
test
VSTS.Noham
PS TFS:\TEAMPROJECT> cd MyDemo
PS TFS:\TEAMPROJECT\MyDemo> Get-ChildItem
Alias                                                       Element
-----                                                       -------
WI                                                          WORKITEM
SC                                                          SOURCECONTROL
MP                                                          MEMBERSPROJECT
DC                                                          DOCUMENTS
BL                                                          BUILD
PS TFS:\TEAMPROJECT\MyDemo> cd WI
PS TFS:\TEAMPROJECT\MyDemo\WI> Get-ChildItem  Format-Table

Dude, how cool is THAT!

CD into A TFS Server, CD into a Project, CD into it’s Source Control, or Work Items or Documents or Builds and then DIR all the members there. ZOMG, that is officially VERY Cool.
