I am working on Xamarin visual studio on Mac and we are using visual studio team services for our project.I have no problem pulling the code but I can't seem to be able to Check in any file I modify to the team service.

What‘s the detail error when you check in files to team service locally? Which version control are you using TFVC or GIT in VSTS? – PatrickLu-MSFT May 28 '18 at 07:23

If you are using GIT just take a look at below tutorials:
- Working with Git on Visual Studio Mac
- Xamarin DevOps with VSTS - Getting Started(Visual Studio for Mac has replaced Xamarin Studio, but similar steps on git)
For visual studio Mac, TFVC also supported for now. However, this is only a preview feature as you can see the comment from PM:
I’m happy to say that our first preview of this feature is now available – check out the announcement blog post.
I’ll continue to share out updates here as we make updates to the preview.

According to the comment below the blog, seems not stable for now.
For now, you want a more stably solution of using TFVC source control on Mac. You could try to use Visual Studio Code , which is more of a quick; light weight code editor.
With the help of Visual Studio Team Services extension on Visual Studio Code, it allows you to connect to Team Services and Team Foundation Server and provides support for both Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC), GIT. More details please take a look at Connect VS code with TFS on mac
