Please try the workaround below:

 

  1. Use Pipeline Completion Triggers

Set up a pipeline in the remote repo that runs on commit, and configure your target pipeline to trigger when that pipeline completes:

resources:
  pipelines:
  - pipeline: remotePipeline
    source: RemoteProjectPipeline
    project: RemoteProject
    trigger:
      branches:
        include:
          - main

This requires the remote repo to have its own pipeline that runs on commits.

  1. Use Scheduled Triggers

If real-time triggering isn't critical, you can schedule your pipeline to run periodically:

schedules:
- cron: "0 * * * *" # every hour
  displayName: Hourly trigger
  branches:
    include:
    - main

 

  1. Use Webhooks + REST API

Set up a webhook in the remote repo to call the Azure DevOps REST API and trigger the pipeline manually. This requires a bit of scripting and a secure endpoint, but it gives you full control.
