Description
Our team would like to be able to create new repos based on a private template repo we have. We currently need to supply a service connection with PAT to import this repo without creating a fork. Instead of using this service connection, we would like this resource to try creating the repo using the signed-in user/principal that the provider uses for other operations.
New or Affected Resource(s)
azuredevops_git_repository
Potential Terraform Configuration
Simply omitting the argument initialization.service_connection_id in the resource azuredevops_git_repository should try creating the repo with initialization type import using the logged-in user
data "azuredevops_project" "example" {
name = "Example Project"
}
data "azuredevops_git_repository" "example_source_repo" {
project_id = data.azuredevops_project.example.id
name = "Source Repository" #private repo
}
resource "azuredevops_git_repository" "example" {
project_id = data.azuredevops_project.example.id
name = "copied git repo"
initialization {
init_type = "Import"
source_type = "Git"
source_url = data.azuredevops_git_repository.example_source_repo.remote_url
}
}
References
Importing repos like this was added in #0402, but since then this provider has added the support for login with a Service Connection in #0747
