@Marvin how do i create a pull step to retrieve a git repository from azure devops

To help you with creating a pull step to retrieve a Git repository from Azure DevOps using Prefect, I need to determine which version of Prefect you're using. Let me provide guidance for both versions 2.x and 3.x, and we can refine it further once the version is clarified. ### Prefect 2.x 1. Install Required Packages: Ensure you have

gitpython

installed, as it can help you interact with Git repositories. 2. Create a Prefect Task: Define a task in your Prefect flow that uses

gitpython

or subprocess to clone the repository.

python
from prefect import flow, task
import subprocess

@task
def clone_repo():
    repo_url = "<https://dev.azure.com/YourOrganization/_git/YourRepository>"
    subprocess.run(["git", "clone", repo_url])

@flow
def my_flow():
    clone_repo()

my_flow()

### Prefect 3.x 1. Install Required Packages: The steps for installation remain the same as in Prefect 2.x. 2. Create a Prefect Flow with a Pull Step: Define a flow that includes a step for cloning the repository.

python
from prefect import flow, task
import subprocess

@task
def clone_repo():
    repo_url = "<https://dev.azure.com/YourOrganization/_git/YourRepository>"
    subprocess.run(["git", "clone", repo_url])

@flow
def my_flow():
    clone_repo()

my_flow()

In both examples, replace

"<https://dev.azure.com/YourOrganization/_git/YourRepository>"

with the actual URL of your Azure DevOps repository. Make sure you have the necessary permissions and authentication set up to access the repository. If you need any more detailed help or additional configuration like authentication methods, specifying branches, etc., please let me know the version of Prefect you are using, and I can refine my answer further.

I could in prefect 2 by using a url including the personal access token

can you show me how you did that?

Yeah, deployment command was

prefect deployment build src/flows/airbyte.py:airbyte_syncs -n airbyte-deployment -sb github/git-storage --work-queue prod

or instead if you want the yaml / CLI based thing you can do https://github.com/zzstoatzz/prefect-pack/blob/main/prefect.yaml#L9-L11 and

prefect --no-prompt deploy --all

I had setup a github repo storage block of type github_block with a url in the format https://PATTOKEN@organization.visualstudio.com/project/_git/prefect

yep it should also accept the

Block

you have now instead of the

GitRepository

class in the example

I tried creating a new GitHub repository block as the old block says it is deprecated, is there a way I can use it?

in general we moved "integration-ish" code out of prefect core and into their respective integration library, so in this case that block has been superseded by this one so easiest way forward imo is just go copy your values from the old block into this type of block and then use that

Ok thanks, I'll give it a go.
