Azure automation source control as yet does not support a GitLab Project Repo, it does support GitHub, but organisations are moving to Gitlab
Does Ms intend to add support for GL repos?

I have a repository in GitHub and have a bunch of documentation(.md) files there.
I want to migrate the documentations into one of the Azure DevOps Wikis.
I am referring this link.
When I am using the option Publish code as Wiki,it only shows the repositories which are available inside the Azure DevOps project.
Is there a way I can publish the GitHub documentations in repositories which are from another project into the Azure DevOps Wikis?
Consider approaching this differently. If you are using git for your Azure DevOps project, then the Azure DevOps Wiki should be persisted to a hidden, but locatable, git repository. Git clone the source and target repositories locally. Then copy what you want to the target (Azure DevOps Wiki, local clone). Git add, commit, and push the added target files.
Attached images/files, if any, may be more problematic depending on how exactly they are represented in the source GitHub repo. In Azure DevOps Wiki ALL attachments are simply stored in a root .attachments folder. So, you'll need to migrate them there and "fix up" your links.
I've done this going the other direction, Azure DevOps Wiki -> GitHub Enterprise repo. You should know that you’ll likely need to “fix up” page links and that the two markdown styles have slight variations you may have to address.

for copying documents from GitHub you need to use Import repository from your devops project.
how to import an existing Git repo from GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or other location into a new or empty existing repo in your Azure DevOps project.
For complete information you can go through the Import Git repo link.
I am trying to determine how to backup the online ADO account that I created on Microsoft's servers so that I can restore it on my own physical server. I have a few projects already started along with work items, repositories, pipeline jobs and NuGet artifacts already in place. It would take quite a while to rebuild the projects manually, not impossible, just not desirable.
I have looked and have not found any resource as to how to perform this or if it is even possible. Any help from someone who knows would be greatly appreciated!
Currently there is available extension: Azure DevOps Migration Tools, which allow you to migrate Teams, Work Items, Plans & Suits, and Shared Queries, & Pipelines from one Project to another in Azure DevOps/TFS both within the same Organization, and between Organizations. See: https://nkdagility.github.io/azure-devops-migration-tools/ for latest guidance.
In addition, for repositories, there is no such extensions, you could try to clone an existing Git repo and then push it to a new remote repo server.
BTW, you could use Rest APIs: Artifact Details to get artifacts and then publish them to new feed on Azure DevOps Server.
I've been looking around for a while now but I can't seem to find a way to get push messages from the azure devops team for their release notes regarding the azure devops service. I would like to be able to incorporate the changes/release notes into a teams channel (the app). I was surprised by a change to the GET git repo list api url. Which broke some stuff.
I can't really find any way to subscribe to changes to their service, other then to watch the ms-documentation github repo.
What are the ways in which you make sure you are not surprised by breaking changes?
Testing this API: Repositories - List, we can still retrieve git repositories under this project.
In addition, sprint-184-update for Azure DevOps service brings new feature: Disable a repository.
And by reference to this doc: Build Azure Repos Git or TFS Git repositories, Azure DevOps enables some limitation to Azure Pipelines regarding to Azure Repos Git repository like Limit job authorization scope to referenced Azure DevOps repositories. Please check it.
Update>>This API: GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories?api-version=6.1-preview.1 does the same thing to retrieve git repositories.
And Azure DevOps service doesn't provide notifications about repositories changes(Add, Delete), see: Supported subscriptions for details. Also currently official released APIs list here: Azure DevOps Services REST API Reference.
BTW, you can create a new suggestion ticket here. The product group will review these tickets regularly, and consider take it as roadmap.
I would like to deploy my ASP.NET Web App into Azure. I signed up for a free account on Azure and created a new DevOps Project, but when I select the option "bring your own code", I can only chose to get the code from Git repositories.
Is there an option to import the code from TFVC, or do I have to migrate my repo to Git?
It seems weird that Microsoft did not include their own technologies (TFVC) into the deployment process, or other popular version control tools (SVN, Mercurial...)
In the initial release of Azure DevOps Projects only supports Git repositories. Although Azure DevOps Projects do support building a CI/CD pipeline into Azure using existing projects, this version is primarily meant for bootstrapping new projects, and many new projects are started using Git as the version control system.
Supporting other version control types - especially TFVC - is on the backlog for future improvements.
Note: If you use YAML files for defining your build process in VSTS, then the repository is implicitly the same as the one in which your YAML file is present.
You can choose from the following repository types:
For more details, refer "Build definition source repositories".
I want to create a website and use GitHub for source control. How can I have Azure websites point to my GitHub account and pull the code from there?
Azure App Service supports continuous deployment to Web Apps from source code control and repository tools like BitBucket, CodePlex, Dropbox, Git, GitHub, Mercurial, and TFS. You can use these tools to maintain the content and code for your application, and then quickly and easily push changes to your Azure web app when you want.
There are a several steps to make this happen:
Create an empty website on Azure.
Push your web code from your local Git repository to one on GitHub.
From with in the Azure portal, click on your newly created website, followed by Deployments -> Set up continuous deployment.
At the next screen, you'll be prompted to select your source. Select GitHub.
You'll be prompted to enter your credentials.
Select the repository you'd like to monitor, and if possible, the branch.
In a few moments Azure will pull the code from your GitHub repository, and you'll be good to go!
You are not limited to GitHub, though. You can also deploy from BitBucket, CodePlex, Dropbox, GitHub, or Mercurial results in a continuous deployment process where Azure will pull in the most recent updates from your project, nearly instantly.
