How to clone a repo from azure devops to a remote machine

Question

Have a pipleline, one of the steps is to clone a devops repo to 4 remote machines,

For example, I want to clone Repo1 to Remotemachine1,Remotemachine2,Remotemachine3 & Remotemachine4, irrespective of the sequence (it can be anything like sequential or parallel to these machine)

I am using powershell to achieve this task, how can I do it?

Hi there,

Not sure about Powershell but you can achieve this by the Git Credential Manager. Be sure you have the Git Credential Manager or have configured SSH authentication before you continue. You'll need a clone URL to tell Git what repository you want to clone to your computer.

Use this clone URL with git clone to make a local copy of the repo:
git clone https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/DefaultCollection/_git/Fabrikam

git clone clones the repository from the URL in a folder under the current one. You can specify a folder name after the URL to create the repo in a specific location, for example:
git clone https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/DefaultCollection/_git/Fabrikam C:\Repos\FabrikamFiber
