Why can I only choose github as my repository when creating a new devops project? It used to be possible to use vsts (git)

Sorry, I don't understand what you're seeing here - you're creating a new project in Azure DevOps? When you do this, you get the choice between Git (hosted in Azure Repos) or centralized version control (TFVC hosted in Azure Repos). We don't have an option to do anything with GitHub here.

So I think that I'm not understanding what you're creating, or where. Can you drop me an email with a screenshot? It's my HN username @microsoft.com. Thanks!

I will clarify. if you go to portal.azure.com --> Create a resource --> DevOps project --> Bring your own code --> In code repository you can choose between "GitHub" or "External Git". What I expected was that I could point it at VisualStudio.com - unless vsts has become the external git? ps: happy azure devops / azure user here ;)

Aha, through the Azure Portal. I'm not sure what that works that way. I'll look into it, thanks for the explanation.
