How to add/update files in git repository from Azure DevOps Pipeline Dynamics 365 CE

Question

Short Version

When a build pipeline is triggered, one of the build pipeline task will get the latest files and it has to be added/updated in the git

Answer 1

By default the source files are checked out to the Build.SourcesDirectory (e.g : Directory: D:\a\1\s), it can be considered as a temporary git repository.

According to the error message, it appears that the working directory of the command line task is not under the Build.SourcesDirectory and you did't git checkout again to that working directory.

So, please try unpack the solution zip file and store in Build.SourcesDirectory, then run below Command line to push the commits (it works for me):

ECHO "Setting git config..."
git config --global user.email "xxx@xyz.com"
git config --global user.name "Admin"

ECHO "CHECK GIT STATUS..."
git status

git checkout -b master

ECHO "GIT ADD..."
git add -A

ECHO "CHECK GIT STATUS..."
git status

ECHO "Commiting the changes..."
git commit -m "Latest Customizations updated"

ECHO "Pushing the changes..."
git push -u origin master

ECHO "Customization Committed Successfully"

Please note that you need to Grant version control permissions to the build service and enable Allow scripts to access the system token.
