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

by

Update:

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

Classic Editor: agent.source.skip=true

YAML:

steps:

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

Build.SyncSources = false

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