Is it able to ignore/disable the first step Get source in vNext Build?

Update:

Now you should use below to avoid syncing sources at all:

Classic Editor: agent.source.skip=true

YAML:

steps:
- checkout: none

It's not able to directly disable/remove the Get Sources task. However, you could add a variable to achieve it:

Build.SyncSources = false

enter image description here

You can see from below screenshot, the Get Sources operation started and finished without fetching the data from TFS version control

Note: This variable works with TFS 2017 and above/VSTS vNext builds.

More detail info please take a look at this helpful blog.


I tried using agent.source.skip = true (instead of Build.SyncSources = false),

and it seems to keep the variables.
