I have local TFS2012. How can I detect, If was been any changes in Project or not? I need this variable to decide in powershell script: deploy package on not.
Programmatically you can get the history of the project root using tf.exe:
tf history . /stopafter:1 /format:brief /noprompt
Note: the '.' is just using the current location mapped to a TFS location, you would probably use $/Some/branch/location instead of '.'
The output will need to be parsed to get the date field
Changeset Change User Date Comment
--------- -------------------------- ----------------- ---------- -------------
375564 merge developer (... 8/24/2010 Merge comment
you can get the full set of tf history options by running tf history /?
another way would be to try and get latest, if you get anything there was a change:
tf get . /preview /noprompt /recursive
returns:
Getting somefile.cpp
Getting someotherfile.cs
