  <p>It tells me to connect to workspaces by running <code>tf /collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl'</code></p>
  
  <p>To get the TeamProjectCollectionUrl I went into Visual Studio Team Explorer, looked at properties of a project and copied URL property. The url starts with <code>vstfs://</code> </p>
