I am migrating repositories (.Net, Angular) from GitLab to Azure DevOps. Can't find much documentation on the implications of this migration.

My questions are:

  1. Do all remote branches gets migrated? With all commits and comments?
  2. Does Azure DevOps support sub-folder type repository structure?

Any precautions/best practices I may have to consider.

Yes, when you import a Git repository from GitLab (or any Git server) to Azure DevOps, all the branches and folders will be imported with all the history (commits).
