Azure DevOps Fork Repos between two Organization

Azure DevOps Fork Repos between two Organization This weekend I embarked on a topic a bit foreign to myself, on the surface seemed a bit simple. The idea is to fork my Azure DevOps Repo to a different organization and push changes between them. Bad news DevOps doesn’t allow to fork Repos to a different organization, you have only the capability to fork to a different Projects within the same Organization. I’m pretty much sure there are so many other ways to solve this issue, but this is the one that I found to be easy to implement. Import Repo to the new Organization Remember here you have to generate a personal token to be able to import the Repo you have to be a member of the new organization as well This might take a few minutes depending on the size of your project, once its complete you will receive a confirmation email, or just refresh it after few minutes So far all looks good, you can clone the solution in your new Organization,

As you should know this tool is NOT available for VS 2022 as per the tool's landing page. The support for VS 2022 will come post June 2022.

Great post thanks! In the previous version of Developer tool there was an option to add your existing JavaScripts / Web Resource from your instance back to your project. It looks like it's missing this feature. Do you know if this feature is deprecated?
