Solution 1:^[1]

I tested this in visual studio by the following steps ,every thing works well.

1.Connect to a project in Team Explorer

2.On the Connect to a Project page, select the repo you want to clone.

3.If a window pops up that requires credentials, enter your PAT and make sure your PAT has Read, write & manage permission in section Code.

4.The repository was cloned successfully.

If you have followed the steps but failed, please indicate at which step you got the error.
