SSH Keys

Use an SSH Key to do an SSH-based git push/pull.

Add your SSH key at the top right of the screen -> User Settings -> SSH Public Keys which should take you to a URL like this ending in /_userSettings/keys:

https://dev.azure.com/<YOUR_USERNAME>/_usersSettings/keys

eg.

https://dev.azure.com/harisekhon/_usersSettings/keys

API Tokens

Use API tokens to interact programmatically with Azure DevOps or to do HTTPS git push/pull to bypass egress firewall restrictions.

Create an API token at the top right of the screen -> User Settings -> Personal access tokens which should take you to a URL like this ending in /_userSettings/tokens:

https://dev.azure.com/<YOUR_USERNAME>/_usersSettings/tokens

https://dev.azure.com/harisekhon/_usersSettings/tokens
