Posted on by fannazephyr

i have a yaml pipeline which is working well when i am pushing my power app solution to git repo in the main But when i create a new branch(based on main) , say BranchABC. Is it failing with error.

I am trying to achieve a situation where each developer can checkin in their components in their own branches in Azure DevOps

On branch BranchABC

nothing to commit, working tree clean

fatal: 'BranchABC' does not appear to be a git repository

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

fatal: could not read Username for <azure devops url> terminal prompts disabled

Right. Try specifying the local branch as well as the target branch along the lines of:

git -c http.extraheader="AUTHORIZATION: bearer $(System.AccessToken)" push --set-upstream origin MainBranch:FeatureBranch

Re: Git push error on branch other than main

i have these set of commands in yml. I have yml on my main branch and trying to push solution to custom FeatureBranch. It works if i run pipeline from FeatureBranch but not from main branch.
echo commit all changes
      git config user.email "<email>"
      git config user.name "<user name>"
      git checkout -B FeatureBranch
      git add --all
      git commit -m "solution init"
      echo push code to new repo
      git -c http.extraheader="AUTHORIZATION: bearer $(System.AccessToken)" push --set-upstream origin
FeatureBranch

The idea is multiple developers can push their code in thier own branches in azure devops and then they will be merged for deployment

Re: Git push error on branch other than main

What command are you running? have you tried specifying both the local branch name and the remote branch name to remove any ambiguity?

git push origin {localBranchName}:{remoteBranchName}
