Azure DevOps provides developer services for allowing teams to plan work, collaborate on code development, and build and deploy applications. Azure DevOps supports a collaborative culture and set of processes that bring together developers, project managers, and contributors to develop software. It allows organizations to create and improve products at a faster pace than they can with traditional software development approaches.

It is a very useful tool because Git can be used, but as with Github and Gitlab, errors may occur at clone time due to security issues like this:

git clone https://[organization_name]@dev.azure.com/[Pj_name]/_git/[repogitory_name]

get error

Cloning into [PJ_name]’…
Password for ‘https://[organization_name]@dev.azure.com':
fatal: Authentication failed for ‘https://[organization_name]@dev.azure.com/[Pj_name]/_git/[repogitory_name]/'

Click [Clone] Button

Click [Generate Git Credentials]

Username and Password are displayed and copy them.

You can clone repo by using this password!

Happy Developing!
