I need to extract all commits from Private repositories on github.
The repo is on a certain github server and I don't know the owner, but I have rights on that server. Can I extract the commits in this situation?

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.
We have multiple teams working on the same Api Management instance, and the current git-based configuration that API Management provides, does not really facilitate a good process for us (with support for code reviews, pull requests, deploys etc.).
Can we use a GIT repository in Azure DevOps to control the configuration instead of having to use the repository provided directly by API Management?
Our primary use cases are:
Merge/sync changes from API Management into our central repository
Performing changes in a DevOps repo in separate branches, merge the changes to the main branch via pull requests and sync'ing the changes to API Management
We can clone the configuration repository and push changes back- using our familiar Git commands.
You can try to run the following command in cmd task of azure devops pipeline.
git clone https://username:password#{name}.scm.azure-api.net/
git add .
git commit -m "abc"
git push
Here are the document and similar case you can refer to.
While creating a project in Azure DevOps , the repository connection to the GitHub has been pointed.
But if you push any code the GitHub repository, this update is not seen from the Azure DevOps Reps view.
Even the creation of the new branches at GitHub site are not shown in Azure DevOps.
This is because it doesn't do what you think it does. Connection is not supposed to sync content across repositories. Its "just" being used to connect to the repository on the build agent and pull the sources. If you want to sync repos in Github and Azure Repos you'd need to implement a custom solution. Nothing built-in exists in Azure Repos or Github.

For my use case I need to use CodeCommit repositories. But I would also like to use GitLab GUI and features.
If I install GitLab on my server, is there a way to either connect it to CodeCommit repos directly (I just need to browse commits there) or set it as a mirror for CodeCommit so it would contain copies for all CodeCommit repos?
It should be possible to mirror your GitLab repository to an AWS CodeCommit repository. This Gitlab doc explains it. Basically, it helps you setup a CodeCommit repository to use as a replica, then you can set up a recurring job/codepipeline to act upon code changes.
The pre-requisite is to get an IAM user in the AWS account that holds the CodeCommit repo and will use credentials to pull the Gitlab repo into CodeCommit.
Yes, open new repository, go to settings -> General and you can find mirror function there. It will copy remote repository a few times per day.
We have Private Github server in Ubuntu running in Azure subscription and requirement is to migrate Github to another private github server. Decided to migrate Azure from one Subscription to another subscription taking the image.
So,What are the steps/process has to be done pre and post activities for Private Github server migration from Azure to Azure subscription?
You mean : You have a Private Git server not a Private GitHub server in Ubuntu I am right?
