Unable to Clone another private repo from the same GitHub Organization about azure-pipelines-yaml HOT 7 CLOSED

I've found a solution that I don't like but it works.

In the pipelines editor on azure devops, go to variables section, and create a secret variable with a github access token in it. Then, refer to it in the git clone command in the azure-pipelines.yml file.

Resulting snippet from my yml file:

- script: |
      cd some_dir
      git clone https://x-access-token:$(astafan8-github-access-token)@github.com/ORG/OTHER_PRIVATE_REPO.git
      cd OTHER_PRIVATE_REPO
      git checkout v1
      pip install -e .
    displayName: 'Install OTHER_PRIVATE_REPO from tagged commit'

The x-access-token part was found here.

Any progress on this front?

I'm having a similar issue but it results in a different message.

I'm having a pipeline for SOME_PRIVATE_REPO that uses code from OTHER_PRIVATE_REPO within the same organization ORG. Azure Pipelines is enabled and is aware of both repositories (in settings in github).

Here's a snippet of the azure-pipelines.yml:

- script: |
      cd some_dir
      git clone https://github.com/ORG/OTHER_PRIVATE_REPO.git
      cd OTHER_PRIVATE_REPO
      git checkout v1
      pip install -e .
    displayName: 'Install OTHER_PRIVATE_REPO from tagged commit'

So, the job just hangs at the stage of Cloning into 'OTHER_PRIVATE_REPO'..., and after some time gets automatically cancelled due to timeout.

I tried googling but couldn't find how to access other private github repo inside a pipeline for a private github repo. Does anybody know?

Having the exact same issue. I agree with @astafan8 - I don't like the solution with the secret and the access token. Ideally it should support multiple the build pipeline should support checkout tasks. I think it relates to this User Voice request
