Is it possible to use a GitHub repository directly in DevOps for CI

Question

I don't want to import a repo but use github repo directly.

I was disappointed that you can only link to your GitHub repo for Project Management boards. I want to link to Github for Continuous Integration in the Build pipeline..but DevOps is forcing me to Import the repo so it becomes a new repo local to DevOps separate to the one on Github.....Is there a way around this such that you can do continuous integration with your GitHub repo on DevOps?

Answer 1

Yes,you can use a GitHub repository directly in DevOps for CI.To achieve this, you only need to select Github as source when create a new build pipeline:

Then you can enable continuous integration in Triggers of pipeline.
