This article address how to modify the Jenkins setting from SVN to Azure DevOps Git. The connection of Git is via SSH.
Step 1: Prepare the SSH key
In your local, type the “ssh-keygen” to create a new key.
in the generate process, I keep the “Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):” is empty
in the end, two keys will be generated to folder “C:\User\[User Name]\.ssh” (root\.ssh)
/root/.ssh/id_rsa -> this is private key
/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -> this is public key
Step 2: Setup the Azure SSH Public key
In the Azure DevOps page, navigate to the Repos page and click “Clone”.
Click the Manage SSH Key
Click the “New Key”
Give the name and key, the name can be typed as what you need.
The public key data needs to provide content from “id_rsa.pub”. The beginning of the text is “ssh-rsa”. The content can copy from the “id_rsa.pub” file.
Verify:
Now you can try to check out the code from Azure DevOps Repos via SSH.
$ git checkout <branch>Step 2: Setup Jenkins request

Now, you can prepare the project for Jenkins that different compare SVN is below
