I need to export variable groups from one azure devops to another azure devops project. How can I do this?
The UI of Azure DevOps doesn't provide such a functionality. This blog explains how to do it using Azure CLI and the Azure DevOps extension for Azure CLI. If you're new to the (Azure DevOps extension for) Azure CLI, then please read my blog to learn how set it up.

How do I automatically renew PAT for Azure DevOps on-prem installation?
I see a similar post but there was no solution.
Generate a PAT for an on-prem DevOps installation using API.
All the articles and examples I'm seeing are related to Azure DevOps Services(cloud offering)
My VMs all have Azure DevOps agents installed on them to automate deployments. We have a need to automate runbook tasks on these agents as well, and are investigating Azure Automation as a solution.
However, I would prefer not to have to install two agents on every VM. Is there a way to have Azure Devops and Azure Automate share an agent on a single VM?
I suppose that you could test to create a combination with Azure DevOps and Azure Automation.
And the key to for the integration is creating a service connection from Azure DevOps to Azure Resource Manager.
And you could try to finish your Azure Automation Deployment with Azure Powershell task in a release pipeline.
And you could refer to this blog for more detailed instructions. USING AZURE DEVOPS PIPELINES WITH AZURE AUTOMATION
I cannot find the below configuration in azure devops server (aka TFS)
Please find the below screenshots from azure devops where you can do exactly that
1- Add a public source
2- Add a custom npm registry
3- You can see folio added to upstreams
enter image description here
So why do you think TFS 2019 can't do just that?
It seems to be a new feature, Azure DevOps Service contain the latest feature and we could check the timeline in this site.
And Azure DevOps Server is updated once a period of time. If we check some new feature in the Azure DevOps Service and does not see it in the Azure DevOps, we need to check this Azure DevOps Server 2019 Release Notes and wait for the update.

I was wondering if it's possible to have TFVS using Azure DevOps Services or TFVS using Azure DevOps Server. Which one is better and how to connect TFVS using Azure DevOps Server. I have experience in connecting it with Azure DevOps Services but I'm wondering the differences with Azure DevOps Server. Thank you
Yes, it's possible; TFVC is exactly the same between the two. You connect to a TFVC repo in Azure DevOps exactly the same way you'd connect to an on-prem instance.
