Connect to Azure DevOps

Learn how to connect Builder Projects to your Azure account using a Personal Access Token (PAT).

Once your account is connected, design visual changes within Builder and then share your AI assisted code with your team through a pull request.

Create a new PAT

To create a new personal access token:

  1. Login to your Azure DevOps organization.
  2. Go to User Settings followed by Personal access tokens.
  3. Click + New Token.
  4. Provide a name for your token, such as Builder.io.
  5. Select the scopes detailed below for the access token.
✓ Build - Read & Execute
✓ Code - Read & Write
✓ Pull request threads - Read & write

Finally, copy the generated PAT string for the next step of the process.

Connect your account

To connect your Builder account to Azure DevOps:

  1. On the Projects page, click the down arrow next to Connect Repo.
  2. Choose the Azure DevOps option.
  3. On the following screen, enter your Azure organization's name and paste your PAT. Note that the organization name is as it is set in Azure in the Create a new personal access token dialogue. In the video below, the organization is my-example-org. In Builder, the user enters only my-example-org (at 30 seconds in the video), with no leading URL. So the organization name is my-example-org, not https://dev.azure.com/my-example-org.
  4. Click Connect Azure DevOps.

Builder is now connected to Azure. You are then prompted to choose a specific repository for your Project.

For more details on connecting to a specific repository, visit Connecting an existing repo.

To create a net-new application from an existing repository:

  1. Go to the Projects page in the Builder app.
  2. Click the Connect Repo button, or click the down arrow to choose your version control platform.
  3. Choose an application from your linked repositories.
  4. Select Setup Visual Editing.
  5. Typically, you should select Start Auto Setup. If your application lacks configuration files or has a particularly complicated setup process, select Use Manual Setup.
  6. Builder's AI searches for configuration files and sets up your Project for you. In the meantime, add environment variables to the form on the right, if applicable.
  7. Click the Finish Setup button. This brings you to Builder's Visual Editor where you can prompt the AI for changes to your Project.
