Introduction

After upgrading to a new version of Visual Studio, some users may experience difficulties when trying to push or pull changes from their Azure Repositories. While cloning repositories typically works without issue, the following error may arise:

Error: Cannot determine the organization name for this 'dev.azure.com' remote URL. Ensure the credential.usehttppath configuration value is set, or specify the organization name as the user in the remote URL '{org}@dev.azure.com'.

This issue primarily affects the pull command, while other commands may result in fatal errors.

Troubleshooting Steps

If you encounter this error, consider the following solutions:

1. Check Credential Manager Settings

You might want to review your Windows Credential Manager settings, as misconfigurations here can lead to authentication issues. Ensure that the credentials for Azure DevOps are correctly set.

2. Update Git Credential Manager

Updating the Git Credential Manager can often resolve this issue. Here’s how to do it based on your operating system:

  • For Windows:

    git update-git-for-windows

  • For macOS:

    brew tap microsoft/git
brew install --cask git-credential-manager-core

  • For Linux (Debian):

    sudo dpkg -i <path-to-package>
git-credential-manager-core configure

  • For Linux (Tarball):

    tar -xvf <path-to-tarball> -C /usr/local/bin
git-credential-manager-core configure

3. Adjust Git Global Settings

Navigate to the Git Global Settings in Visual Studio:

  • Go to Tools > Options > Source Control > Git Global Settings.
  • Ensure the following settings are configured appropriately:
    • Prune remote branches during fetch: False
    • Rebase local branch when pulling: False
    • Cryptographic network provider: OpenSSL
    • Credential helper: GCM Core

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the push/pull issues with your Azure Repo after a Visual Studio update. If problems persist, consider reaching out to Azure support for further assistance.
