For a minimal setup to use TFSV I suggest you use Team Explorer. It's basically just the VS shell with the TFS plugin. Here's the download: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=TeamExplorer&rel=15# And here's a brief intro of how to use it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/user-guide/work-team-explorer?view=vsts @David Schwartz TFSV has always supported branching. It just isn't very good at it - like everything else in TFS. We use TFS with TFSV where I work ATM but I would gladly pay for JIRA licenses out of my own pocket if that would get them to switch away from TFS. It's horrible.
