How to add an Azure DevOps GIT remote repository

Question

We have our central repository in the azure cloud (dev.azure.com/.....)  I downloaded SourceTree 3.0.12 and when I try to add a remote repository the "Hosting Service" shows a number of BitBucket, GitHub selections and one Visual Studio selection but nothing for Azure.   I've tried a number of the ones that allow entering a URL but they keep failing to login.  Usually it comes back with user/email was not found.

I'm trying to login with my PAT that I created in Azure.

Which of the Hosting Service should I select and what login credentials should I be using?

Seems like adding a hosting account from Azure DevOps is broken. It fails to authenticate despite creating a PAT with full access.

I'm having the same issue. I can only clone the project through visual studio, and only after I manually went into the certificates and copy pasted my own into the file.

I get the error:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no-optional-locks fetch origin
fatal: unable to access 'https://work.visualstudio.com/Venue/_git/reponame/': SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain
Completed with errors, see above.

I can't use any type of logging in method, SSL Username, anything. I even added the certificate to the root certificates (which also doesn't work with visual studio). Why is Azure DevOps so difficult to work with in sourcetree?
