Azure DevOps Git: Fork into another Repo using Azure DevOps REST API-CodePudding

In my Azure DevOps Project, I have a Git repository that I would like to copy to another Azure DevOps Project.

In other words, I should be able to copy the original repo into other Azure DevOps projects as needed.

I'm trying to achieve this using the Azure DevOps REST APIs, but I haven't found enough documentation. The only thing I see is the ability to create new repos using the Azure DevOps REST APIs, but nothing about copying the contents of the repo.

We can call the

Import Git repo from one project to another:

Another way is importing the original Git repo from one project to another. Get the clone URL from the original Git repo, create a PAT, then import. See Import a Git repo for details.

If you want to do that by calling REST API, the following PowerShell for your reference (projects within the same Azure DevOps organization):

Param(
   [string]$organization = "organization name here",
   [string]$sourceproject = "source project name",
   [string]$targetproject = "target project name",
   [string]$sourceRepoName = "source git repo name",
   [string]$targetRepoName = "target repo name",
   [string]$username = "",
   [string]$token = "PAT"
)

# Base64-encodes the Personal Access Token (PAT) appropriately
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $user,$token)))

$targetUrl = "https://dev.azure.com/$organization/$targetproject/_apis"

# create endpoint
$endpoint = irm "$targetUrl/serviceendpoint/endpoints?api-version=5.0-preview" -Method:Post -ContentType "application/json" `
   -Headers @{Authorization = "Basic $base64AuthInfo"} `
   -Body ( '{{"name":"temporary-script-git-import3","type":"git","url":"https://{4}@dev.azure.com/{4}/{0}/_git/{1}","authorization":{{"parameters":{{"username":"{2}","password":"{3}"}},"scheme":"UsernamePassword"}}}}' -f $sourceproject, $sourceRepoName, $username, $token, $organization )

# import repository
$importRepo = irm "$targetUrl/git/repositories/$targetRepoName/importRequests?api-version=5.0-preview" -Method:Post -ContentType "application/json" `
   -Headers @{Authorization = "Basic $base64AuthInfo"} `
   -Body ( '{{"parameters":{{"deleteServiceEndpointAfterImportIsDone":true,"gitSource":{{"url":"https://{3}@dev.azure.com/{3}/{0}/_git/{1}","overwrite":false}},"tfvcSource":null,"serviceEndpointId":"{2}"}}}}' -f $sourceproject, $sourceRepoName, $endpoint.id, $organization )
