Loaded question :-)

Azure Devops is what used to be called TFS, right? AFAIK, TFS out of the box is configured only for NTLM authentication over HTTP. JGit does not do NTLM, and we have no plans to add support for it. We're not going to invest time to support a broken protocol of which even Microsoft says new applications shouldn't use it. (They say so in their very own NTLM specification.)

Possible solutions I know of are:

Use SSH. Users will probably have to upload an SSH public key to the server first. (Once.) Don't know if the server needs special configuration to enable SSH access.
Use Kerberos (SPNEGO), either with HTTP(S) or SSH. Difficult to configure on server and client side.
Make sure your server is accessible only over HTTPS and enable basic authentication in the server.
Use a proxy like cntlm on the client side. Don't know if that works reliably.

Please see the TFS/Azure Devops manuals for how exactly to do any of these. Once the server (or the cntlm proxy) is configured, JGit can clone/fetch from it, or push to it.

(Caveat: I have personally never had to work with TFS.)

I had this problem cross domains.
the EGIT works fine conneting to tfs- git when they are on the same domain, probably related to the AD authentication.
but when came via proxy from another domain it was always "not authorized"
I asked from the network guys to disable the proxy for a while (just for me) and in eclipse proxy settings in "manual" I set the proxy definitions directly to the tfs address and it works.

Now waiting for the proxy guy to do his magic at the proxy definitions to do the same
to be continued......
