I am constantly getting an error message when im trying to create a new branch. I have contributor access to the workspace and admin access to the devops.

Hi @Joe_P ,

This error is reported because if the folder you are trying to connect to contains subdirectories but no fabric entries, the connection will fail.

The solution is to open the Git repository in Azure DevOps and navigate to the Git folder defined in the connection. If the Git folder contains subdirectories, check to make sure that at least one of the subdirectories represents the item record. If the directory contains item.config.json and item.metadata.json files, the directory is a project record. If the directory does not contain these files, it is a subdirectory. If the Git folder does not contain any project records, you cannot connect to the folder. Remove the subdirectory, or link to another folder that does not contain subdirectories.
