Configure a Metadata Repository in Azure DevOps for your Project

To manage your Project metadata with the Git version control system, you can generate a new repository in Azure DevOps, depending on the platform you want to use.

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

Your Azure DevOps account should have the rights to create a new 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

When we will create a Project in the Git repository, the whole structure of folders and files will be created only if the repository is empty.

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

You can now create a Project with this metadata repository HTTPS URL.
