I cannot clone a simple repository from Azure DevOps. OS: Ubuntu 18.10
I do this:
- Got to Azure DevOps
- Click on the top right corner on my user name
- Go to the security tab
- Create a PAT with all the scope (to be sure there is no scope problem)
- Copy the PAT to the clipboard
- Paste the PAT somewhere else to confirm the PAT has been copied correctly (I know... not safe but that is out of the scope of this question)
- Go to my console
- Issue:
git clone https://myorganization.visualstudio.com/myproject/_git/myrepo/
- I enter the user name and the password (the PAT)
I keep getting this message from Git:
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://myorganization.visualstudio.com/myproject/_git/myrepo/'
I was reading the solutions of other people but none worked for me. I also tried this:
- Pass the token in the form https://usename:token@myorganization.visualstudio.com/myproject/_git/myrepo/ I am really surprised people say this worked... for my git complains because believes the : means the port.
- Tried to activate/deactivate credential manager of git * Tried on Windows and Ubuntu.
- Tried to activate and deactivate the simple credentials.
- Tried with the simple credentials, i.e. username + password.
- Tried to put my user name in https://username@....
- Tried to use SSH
- Tried to use the http.extraHeader in the git command with the header being
Authorization: Basic Base64Encoded(uname:PAT)
- Tried to use the http.extraHeader in the git command with the header being
Authorization: Bearer PAT
- Tried to use the VSCode client. It generates the PAT by itself but still cannot authenticate and clone.
- Tried to use the Rider VSTS client. It generates the PAT by itself but still cannot authenticate and clone.
- Tried to use the git credentials manager for Linux. It promps the Code and when we authenticate in the browser, it generates a PAT successfully. Still, after that cannot authenticate.
Any clue why this is not working?
