Guess Settings from Repository URL

Since TeamCity 8.1, TeamCity can automatically discover the VCS type and settings from the repository URL. When configuring a VCS Root, select the Guess from Repository URL option from the drop-down and specify the URL. TeamCity will recognize the URL for a supported version control and will create a VCS root automatically.

The currently supported VCS are Git, Mercurial, and Subversion. TFS and Perforce are partially supported. The URL formats for auto-discovery are listed below.

VCS URL Formats
