I am starting a project on my stand-alone pc using visual studio 2015. In the past, I have used TFS and Git in team projects. My preference for this new personal project is to use Git on my local machine in conjunction with TFS; which is also installed on my pc.

My code will be proprietary, and I do not want it hosted on GitHub or VisualStudio.com regardless of how great their security features might be. How should I go about setting up an environment like that? Is Git-TFS the answer?

    I really don't understand what is the point to start a new project, and wishing to have git in local and TFVC (if I understand well) on the server. Go full git in local and server! I am one of the main developer of git-tfs and this solution is not perfect and should be used only when you already have a project on TFVC and can't migrate. What you want to do is fire a bullet in your foot even before starting your project! Tfs now manage very well git projects (even better than TFVC ones...) – Philippe Sep 22 '16 at 19:52

If you really don't want GitHub or TFS to host a remote repository which has a mapping relationship with your local repository.

You could use Git-TF for combining the local repository of Git with the integrated ALM of TFS.

Git-tf is a cross-platform bridge which allows developers to combine the local repository capabilities of Git with the integrated application lifecycle management tooling of Team Foundation Server.

You can use a Git repository locally, and when you're ready to, check in code to TFS. You can even continue to take advantage of integration between work items (such as bugs and requirements) in TFS when you want to enable end-to-end traceability of the relationship between your work and your code changes. This bridge is a cross-platform tool built with Java, so it runs on many operating systems, including OS X, Linux, and Windows. This means that you can use Git clients (such as Xcode) and maintain the ability to check code into Team Foundation Server.

You can also use Git-TFS which is more suitable for windows user. Also take a look at this link:What's the difference between git-tf and git-tfs?
