Sync GitHub Repositories into Azure DevOps

Question

I have 2 Repositories in my GitHub Organization Account: Say Repo1 and Repo2. In order to bring these into Azure DevOps, I followed the below steps:

I signed into Azure DevOps and Created a new Project.
Under Project Settings, Created a new GitHub Connection.
Under Repos, Imported Git Repository using GitHub Clone URL and PAT Authentication.

With this, I'm able to see my GitHub repositories cloned into Azure DevOps GIT. But there is no sync between them.

If I create a new Branch of Repo1 in Azure DevOps GIT then it's not reflecting in GitHub. Similary, If I create a new Branch of Repo1 in GitHub then it's not reflecting in Azure DevOps GIT.

Is it the right way of Importing from GitHub to Azure DevOps GIT? Am I missing something here? Please guide me.

Yes, this is the correct way. Importing only creates a copy. It will not keep the two in sync automatically.

Is there any way of handling this sync?

@ShreekumarS There is always a way. The limiting factor is always how much time you have to spend on it. One possibility is to set up a repo on a machine you control where you can do a git fetch and git push each branch. But why, though?

Got your point. The problem is Some teams have access to GitHub and other teams have access to Azure Git. As you said, for development activities, we can use Azure Git and for showcase purposes (to other teams), we can push the changes to GitHub periodically. Thanks!

@ShreekumarS Is there any reason you can't just give all your teams access to the repo all on a single platform?

Yeah. All teams are from different Organizations, and we have some limitations with respect to Access to all resources.
