HowTo: import data from devops (VSTS) git repo

If you ever wanted to pull items from your Devops (VSTS) repo here is how:

// Branch
"master" meta [IsParameterQuery=true, Type="Any", IsParameterQueryRequired=true]

// MytableFromGit
let
    Source = VSTS.AccountContents("https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories/{repo}/items?path={path}&version=" & Branch & "&download=true&api-version=5.0")
in
    Source

Replace the following with your values:

{organization}

{project}

{repo}

{path}

 

You can edit the Branch parameter to a different branch for testing

 

After you load the query, you will need to "Open As" into csv/json/xml
