Azure DevOps is part of Microsoft's huge Azure ecosystem, which makes it not so easy to navigate. You go through a series of redirects that take you to the Azure portal, but not to DevOps itself. Especially if you are new to the service and have not yet set up an Azure DevOps organization. But there is a simple way to fix this.
Just Google "Azure DevOps" or go to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/devops. This will take you to the marketing landing page. Then click on "Sign in".

Click "My Azure DevOps Organizations" to access all organizations, or create a new one if you are a new user.
You need to select an organization or create a new one to access the portal. Then you should be in the right place to create projects, Git repositories and invite members.
