Beginner Question

I have run the migration.exe to copy project from one Azure Devops to another. The project only contains the repo files. Migration run console:

What i have understand this tool do only migrate work items and not the repo. it can fix the links to a work item in an existing repo in the destination.

How did your config file look like?

[maverick126]

Thanks for that. So it will not copy/migrate the repo.

Here's the config:

Correct. Since migrating repos is super easy in Git we have not invested any time in solving this.
