[Question]: Can we configure number of repo clones in self-hosted agent about azure-pipelines-agent HOT 2 OPEN

Hi @nishanthpasham, thank you for your question. You can use the pipeline variable AZP_AGENT_ALLOW_WORK_DIRECTORY_REPOSITORIES to clone the code to a common location in the work directory.

Example - test1.yml:

trigger:
- main

pool: 'Default'

variables:
 AZP_AGENT_ALLOW_WORK_DIRECTORY_REPOSITORIES: "true"

jobs:
- job: Test1
 steps:
 - checkout: self
   path: ../repos/test
 - script: echo Test2

Example - test2.yml:

trigger:
- main

pool: 'Default'

variables:
  AZP_AGENT_ALLOW_WORK_DIRECTORY_REPOSITORIES: "true"

jobs:
- job: Test2
  steps:
  - checkout: self
    path: ../repos/test
  - script: echo Test2

In this case, the repository for both build definitions will be placed in the same directory (_work\repos\test), not taking up additional disk space.

from azure-pipelines-agent.

Tried this. But it does not seem to be working. Please suggest
