Azure DevOps ACTION

Get File Content

Read one file from a Git repository, at the default branch or at a specific branch, tag or commit. Returns the file's content along with its object id and path. Use this to read config or documentation without cloning. This is the single-item mode of the items endpoint: it returns one file object. To list a folder's contents instead, use the List Repository Items action, which Azure DevOps requires to be a separate call. Example: path /README.md on branch main. See the documentation
