I know this is a really old thread, but I still don't understand how this answers the question.

The Git Credential API allows us to create the credentials no problem 👍, but how do we get a Git PAT for a service principal in Azure DevOps? it doesn't seem possible.

• Service principals can't create tokens, like personal access tokens (PATs) or SSH Keys. They can generate their own Azure AD tokens and these tokens can be used to call Azure DevOps REST APIs.

So as far as I can tell the Azure AD tokens expire after a short duration, so it would require Databricks to hit the OAuth2 endpoint first to get the token, then use that for the git credentials?

I'm hoping I'm just missing something, and there is a way to set this up.
