How do i create a branch in Visual Studio Team Services?

Question

I would like to create a branch on TFS in Visual Studio Team Services.

Is this possible and if so how can i do this?

Solution

If you're using Team Foundation Version Control, you can use the Source Explorer in Visual Studio to create a new branch and then checkin your changes (see Branch folders and files).

If you're using Git you can use the Branches page in the Team Explorer to create a new branch (see Create work in branches). For more advanced scenarios you can also use the command line.
