I am having trouble setting up a website on Azure and connecting it to my team foundation service account. The repository I am trying to use is a GIT repository.
Upon completing the Azure wizard, it returns a message stating that the account does not contain any repositories at all.
Are TFS-GIT repositories supported on Azure?
TFService hosted Git repositories aren't yet supported (yet). You can still set up automated deployment though by using the hosted build servers and web deploy.
I've got a blog post that describes the steps and the MSBuild parameters to pass through.
It appears that Azure Websites support direct deploy from public Git repositories only. I had to choose the "private repo" option, which creates a secondary repository within Azure where you push to deploy. A little annoying on one hand, although it does let you control how often you actually want to deploy.
I had to work around this problem by cloning a TFS git repo and pulling upstream into a bitbucket one. A bit annoying not to have a single repo but it works fine.
For anyone stumbling on this post, it is now possible to deploy directly to an Azure Website from a hosted TFS build controller (visualstudio.com).
Configure it from the 'Deployment' options in the Azure management console of your website, NOT from the TFS instance. It will automatically create a build configuration for you.
