      Configure a Metadata Repository in Azure DevOps for your Project

      For each biGENIUS Project, you need a repository to store the Project’s metadata. This guide explains how to create and configure a metadata repository in Azure DevOps, enabling you to manage your Project's metadata with Git version control. 

      Create a repository in Azure DevOps

      To create a repository in Azure DevOps in the Cloud or on-premise:

      • Connect to Azure DevOps with your account

      Ensure you are logged into Azure DevOps with an account that has the necessary permissions to create a repository.

      • On the left-hand side menu, click on the Repos menu:
      • On the top bar, expand the list of existing repositories and select the New repository menu
      • Fill in the following information:
          1. Repository type: select Git
          2. Repository name: fill in a name for the new repository
          3. Add a README: uncheck the box

      Note: When creating a project in the Git repository, the folder and file structure will only be generated if the repository is empty. Ensure no README file is present.

        • Click on the Create button
        • Your new repository is created:

      You can now create a Project using the HTTPS URL of this metadata repository.
