Unable to create Edge Delivery Services site after BYO Git (Azure DevOps) – What should be used as Project URL?

[Oscar_LuisSa]

Hello Community,

We are setting up a project using AEM Edge Delivery Services (EDS) with AEM as the authoring source, and we have already completed the Bring Your Own Git (BYO Git) configuration using Azure DevOps, following the official documentation:

https://www.aem.live/developer/byo-git

However, when we try to create the EDS site from AEM (Create Site → Edge Delivery Services template), we encounter an issue in the Project URL field:

• When we enter the Azure DevOps repository URL, the field is marked in red
• The UI shows the validation error “Please enter a valid Project URL”
• The site creation cannot proceed

Our questions are:

1. What is the correct value for the Project URL when the Git provider is Azure DevOps?
2. Are there any additional prerequisites or steps required before site creation when using Azure DevOps that could cause this validation error?

We want to ensure we are following the recommended and supported approach for creating EDS sites with BYO Git and Azure DevOps, and avoid any unsupported workarounds.

Any clarification, official guidance, or known limitations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Oscar_LuisSa 

Seems this features is part of VIP program. Ask Adobe about this feature from the AEM Cloud Foundation labs on your Teams or Slack channel!

Hi @arunpatidar , thanks for your response.

You’re right — we do have the early access feature enabled, and the code sync with BYO Git is working correctly.

Our current issue is specifically during the site creation step in AEM, when using the Edge Delivery Services site content template.

In our scenario, AEM is the content source, as we need to author content using the Universal Editor. The problem occurs when creating the site in AEM, before any content authoring, where the Project URL field is marked as invalid and blocks the site creation process.

So at this point, the challenge is not related to Git synchronization, but rather to how the site should be created in AEM for EDS when using BYO Git, and what value is expected in the Project URL field for this setup.

Thanks again for your help — any clarification on this step would be very helpful.

Hi @Oscar_LuisSa 

I think you can try using some demo naming with github. With repoless, the git config are done differently using admin api.

Hi @Oscar_LuisSa ,

The fastest and easiest way to get started following AEM best practices is to create your repository using the Boilerplate GitHub repository as a template.

In your existing github yml you can check if the repository is linked o your AEM authoring instance.

You can follow the below link for more details on it:

Hope it helps!
