Sync GitHub Repositories into Azure DevOps

Question

I have 2 Repositories in my GitHub Organization Account: Say Repo1 and Repo2 . In order to bring these into Azure DevOps , I followed the below steps:

1. I signed into Azure DevOps and Created a new Project.
2. Under Project Settings , Created a new GitHub Connection .
3. Under Repos , Imported Git Repository using GitHub Clone URL and PAT Authentication .

With this, I'm able to see my GitHub repositories cloned into Azure DevOps GIT . But there is no sync between them.

If I create a new Branch of Repo1 in Azure DevOps GIT then it's not reflecting in GitHub . Similary, If I create a new Branch of Repo1 in GitHub then it's not reflecting in Azure DevOps GIT .

Is it the right way of Importing from GitHub to Azure DevOps GIT ? Am I missing something here? Please guide me.

Yes, this is the correct way. Importing only creates a copy. It will not keep the two in sync automatically.
