I have created an organization in Azure DevOps. Under this organization, I created a project with private Git Repository in Azure DevOps. Now When I try to clone this repository using Visual Studio 2017 I keep getting below mentioned error.

**Git failed with a fatal error.
unable to access 'https://dev.azure.com/organizationame/projectname/_git/projectname/': The requested URL returned error: 403**

one way to access git in azure devops is to use a personal access token. create an access token and type following address when cloning: https ://[email protected]/organizationame/projectname/_git/projectname/. enter your PAT when asked. Besides that, you could also use Git Credential Manager for windows: github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows – Mario Dietner
@MarioDietner Thank you for your response but I tried both options you mentioned in your reply and still I get the same error. – gold143
Can you try follow the instructions here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/… authenticate to your organization using visual studio and then clone from there? Does this work? – Mario Dietner

I tested this in visual studio by the following steps ,every thing works well.

1.Connect to a project in Team Explorer

2.On the Connect to a Project page, select the repo you want to clone.

3.If a window pops up that requires credentials, enter your PAT and make sure your PAT has Read, write & manage permission in section Code.

4.The repository was cloned successfully.
