Azure Devops clone This is not a valid source path in source tree

Question

I have managed to finally add my devops account in sourcetree using the https://orgname.visualstudio.com path

Now I am having issues cloning the repository

I am using the path that devops gives me

https://[email protected]/orgname/MyProject/_git/MyRepo

but I get an error saying

This is not a valid source

The details reveal authentication issues... Yet it authenticated fine when adding the account.

What is going on? Does the azure account have to be the default account?

Answer 1

I managed to fix this by changing from the sourcetree embedded git to my system git Tools>Options>Git>Git Version>Select System. Afterwards when trying again it prompted me to login on my organization domain with 2 factor as if logging in on the devops web app directly.

My system Git is using manager-core for the credential management which is probably not the same system which the embedded version used.
