Cannot clone git from Azure DevOps using PAT

Question

I cannot clone a simple repository from Azure DevOps. OS: Ubuntu 18.10

I do this:

• Got to Azure DevOps
• Click on the top right corner on my use

Answer 1

Git http.extraheader & bearer

YAML style Pipelines can use the preset variable System.AccessToken. After examining the formal 'Checkout ...' step at the beginning of the Pipeline I found this step to work in my script:

- task: PowerShell@2
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: 'git -c http.extraheader="AUTHORIZATION: bearer $(System.AccessToken)" clone --depth 1 https://my-org@dev.azure.com/my-org/my-proj/_git/my-repo'

Note that Azure DevOps job authorization scope may affect this
