# `prefect_azure.repository`

Interact with files stored in Azure DevOps Git repositories.

The `AzureDevopsRepository` class in this module is a storage block that lets Prefect
agents pull Prefect flow code from Azure DevOps repositories.

The `AzureDevopsRepository` block is ideally configured via the Prefect UI, but can
also be used in Python as the following examples demonstrate.

Examples:
Load a configured Azure DevOps repository block:

```python  theme={null}
from prefect_azure.repository import AzureDevopsRepository

azuredevops_repository_block = AzureDevopsRepository.load("BLOCK_NAME")
```

Clone a public Azure DevOps repository:

```python  theme={null}
from prefect_azure.repository import AzureDevopsRepository

public_repo = AzureDevopsRepository(
    repository="https://dev.azure.com/myorg/myproject/_git/myrepo"
)
public_repo.save(name="my-azuredevops-block")
```

Clone a specific branch or tag:

```python  theme={null}
from prefect_azure.repository import AzureDevopsRepository

branch_repo = AzureDevopsRepository(
    repository="https://dev.azure.com/myorg/myproject/_git/myrepo",
    reference="develop"
)
branch_repo.save(name="my-azuredevops-branch-block")
```

Clone a private Azure DevOps repository:

```python  theme={null}
from prefect_azure import AzureDevopsCredentials, AzureDevopsRepository

azuredevops_credentials_block = AzureDevopsCredentials.load("my-azuredevops-credentials")

private_repo = AzureDevopsRepository(
    repository="https://dev.azure.com/myorg/myproject/_git/myrepo",
    credentials=azuredevops_credentials_block
)
private_repo.save(name="my-private-azuredevops-block")
```

Interact with files stored in Azure DevOps Git repositories.

**Methods:**

#### `aget_directory` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-azure/prefect_azure/repository.py#L144" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
aget_directory(self, from_path: Optional[str] = None, local_path: Optional[str] = None) -> None
```

Asynchronously clones an Azure DevOps repository.

This defaults to cloning the repository reference configured on the
Block to the present working directory.

**Args:**

* `from_path`: If provided, interpreted as a subdirectory of the underlying
  repository that will be copied to the provided local path.
* `local_path`: A local path to clone to; defaults to present working directory.

#### `get_directory` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-azure/prefect_azure/repository.py#L190" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
get_directory(self, from_path: Optional[str] = None, local_path: Optional[str] = None) -> None
```

Clones an Azure DevOps project within `from_path` to the provided `local_path`.

This defaults to cloning the repository reference configured on the
Block to the present working directory.

**Args:**

* `from_path`: If provided, interpreted as a subdirectory of the underlying
  repository that will be copied to the provided local path.
* `local_path`: A local path to clone to; defaults to present working directory.
