Having issues logging into GitLab from Azure DevOps

Question

I am trying to import my gitlab repository in Azure DevOps, but I am getting below error. Although URL and authorization both things are correct, Can you please suggest alternative to import git repository in Azure DevOps.

Import request cannot be processed due to one of the following reasons:
Clone URL is incorrect
Clone URL requires authorization

Contacted to administrator and tried with admin rights, still not able to connect to git repository.

Answer 1

The alternative would be:

• create an empty private repository in Azure DevOps
• clone it locally
• import locally your repository in it (git remote add repo ../path/to/gitlab/local/clone + git fetch + create a local branch for every remote tracking branches)
• push back (git push --mirror)

That would take care of the repository itself (you can add options to import tags as well)

If you can clone your own Azure DevOps private repository, then surely the authentication won't be an issue.
