1. Open GitHub Desktop and go to **File** > **Clone Repository** > **URL**. Enter the Git URL of your Azure DevOps repository. Make sure you enter the correct URL, which should have the following structure:
`https://<username>@dev.azure.com/<username>/<project_name>/_git/<repository_name>`
2. You will receive an `Authentication Failed` error. Enter your Azure DevOps username and paste in the token you just copied to your clipboard. Click **Save and Retry** to successfully clone the repository to your local machine in GitHub Desktop.
