## Examples

To display all the remotes of a TFS server, do this:

    git tfs list-remote-branches http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection

## Output
	TFS branches that could be cloned :

	 $/project/trunk [*]
	 |
	 +- $/project/branch1
	 |
	 +- $/project/branch2
	 |
	 +- $/project/branch3
		|
		+- $/project/branch3-1
		
	Cloning root branches (marked by [*]) is recommended!

Then you can use the `[clone](clone.md)` command with the good remote branch of your choice!
However, it is recommended to clone the root branch and then use the `[branch](branch.md)` command to manage branches.

### Authentication

If the TFS server need an authentication, you could use the _--username_ and _--password_ parameters. If you don't specify theses informations, you will be prompted to enter them. This informations are not store by git-tfs.

    git tfs list-remote-branches http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection -u=DISSRVTFS03\peter.pan -p=wendy
