How to import an Azure DevOps Git repository… From another Azure DevOps organization?

Time needed: 5 minutes

How to move an Azure DevOps repository from one organization or team project to another?

1. Navigate to the source repo

   First, find the Azure DevOps team project that currently hosts the git repositories, and select the repository you want to move.

2. Grab the URL to clone the repository

   Copy the clone URL to the clipboard and save it somewhere. You’ll need it momentarily!
   

3. Generate your git credentials

   Copy the credentials (user name and password) to the clipboard and save them somewhere. You’ll need them momentarily!
   

4. Start the repo import wizard

   Select “import repository” from the dropdown list of your repositories.
   

5. Enter the required details for the import

   Paste the Clone URL you stored earlier.
   
   Select “Requires Authentication” as your git repo on Azure DevOps probably does require authentication. And then paste the credentials you stored earlier!
   
   The name of the repository should be automatically populated from the URL you supplied, but you can also change it.
   

6. You should be good!

   Boom! Yeah, it should’ve been that easy.
