Critical: All Azure DevOps Repositories Missing + Pipelines Failing

We are experiencing a critical issue in our Azure DevOps organization.

Since today, all Git repositories across all projects have disappeared. They are no longer visible in the UI under Repositories, and the system shows:

"No matching repositories found"

At the same time, all pipelines are failing because they can no longer access the repositories. The following error is consistently returned:

git: 'credential-manager' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Key points:

  • This affects all projects and repositories, not a single repo.
  • Repositories are not visible in the UI at all.
  • Pipelines are completely blocked as they cannot fetch code.
  • There were no intentional changes (no deletions, no permission changes).
  • I am an Organization Owner/Admin and have always had full access.
  • Other users are experiencing the same issue.

Impact:

  • Full disruption of development and deployment workflows.
  • All CI/CD pipelines are currently non-functional.

Questions:

  1. What could cause all repositories to suddenly disappear across an organization?
  2. Is this a known outage or backend issue?
  3. Can Microsoft restore visibility/access to the repositories?
  4. Is there any data loss risk?

This is a high-severity incident for us. We need urgent investigation and recovery guidance.We are experiencing a critical issue in our Azure DevOps organization.

    I had the exact same problem starting today. Found the solution here: https://developercommunity.microsoft.com/t/My-Git-repos-suddenly-disappeared/11078522?sort=newest

    • In "Organization Settings" > "Users", look at "Access Level" for the affected users. In my case it was "Visual Studio Enterprise subscription", with a warning icon and tooltip that said "Subscription expired" (I've never had a full blown subscription with this organization so dunno what happened)
    • Click on "..." at the end of the user's line, then "Change access level", and change it from "Visual Studio Enterprise subscription" to "Basic", then Save
    • In my case at least, repos are back in the portal, and they work again from the command line. Yeah!

    In our case, the issue was caused the subscriptions. After we reassigned them, it started to work again. But we have no idea what went wrong. We didn't make any changes on our side before the problem occurred.

    Yeah, it has been disappearing and then suddenly reappeared. Frustrating, to be honest.

    Same issue here. Seems to be a generic problem.
