Create a file called "CloneAllRepos.config" in the same directory with 

[General]
Url=??
Username=??
Password=??

To execute the script in the Windows or PowerShell command prompt, run the following command:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ./CloneAllRepos.ps1
If you’d like to execute the script without bypassing the policy in each call, you have to enable script execution globally:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Now, you can execute the script in the PowerShell command line in this way:

./CloneAllRepos.ps1

#>

# Read configuration file
Get-Content "CloneAllRepos.config" | foreach-object -begin {$h=@{}} -process { 
    $k = [regex]::split($_,'='); 
    if(($k[0].CompareTo("") -ne 0) -and ($k[0].StartsWith("[") -ne $True)) { 
        $h.Add($k[0], $k[1]) 
    } 
}
$url = $h.Get_Item("Url")
$username = $h.Get_Item("Username")
$password = $h.Get_Item("Password")

# Retrieve list of all repositories
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username,$password)))
$headers = @{
    "Authorization" = ("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)
    "Accept" = "application/json"
}

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Web
$gitcred = ("{0}:{1}" -f  [System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode($username),$password)

$resp = Invoke-WebRequest -Headers $headers -Uri ("{0}/_apis/git/repositories?api-version=1.0" -f $url)
$json = convertFrom-JSON $resp.Content

# Clone or pull all repositories
$initpath = get-location
foreach ($entry in $json.value) { 
    $name = $entry.name 
    Write-Host $name

    $url = $entry.remoteUrl -replace "://", ("://{0}@" -f $gitcred)
    if(!(Test-Path -Path $name)) {
        git clone $url
    } else {
        set-location $name
        git pull
        set-location $initpath
    }
}

It works, but I had to change line 53 to
$url = $entry.webUrl -replace "://", ("://{0}@" -f $gitcred)

You may aloso wnat to check/guard that the config file exists:

# Define the configuration file path
$configFilePath = "CloneAllRepos.config"

# Check if the configuration file exists
if (-not (Test-Path -Path $configFilePath)) {
    Write-Host "Configuration file '$configFilePath' not found. Please ensure the file exists and try again." -ForegroundColor Red
    exit 1
}

And finally, to get rid of annoying PowerShell errors, because git writes to STDERR, you may guard the git clauses:

            $pullResult = & git pull 2>&1
            if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) {
                Write-Host "Error pulling repository '$name': $pullResult" -ForegroundColor Red
                continue
            }
