Error with Command Line Script in Azure DevOps Pipeline

Question

I'm building my first pipeline using Power Platform Build Tools. I'm trying to export a Dynamics model driven app to a repo. I'm getting an error with in my Command Line Script. The following is the error log:

Based on this output, I don't know what is missing.

Just by looking at the error messages, it could be that something is wrong with the git commands, most likely about the git branches. Could you please provide some sample scripts of your yaml (or some relative screenshots of your tasks if you are using classic UI pipeline)? So that people can investigate the question further. — Jane Ma-MSFT, Jan 22 '21 at 05:43
@JaneMa-MSFT. I'm using the classic UI. I've uploaded a screenshot of the tasks I'm using. — user1647160, Jan 24 '21 at 04:06

According to your screenshots, your default branch is "main", not "master".

The master did not match any branches known to git, so the task failed.

In addition, you need to use origin/{branch} instead of {branch}. As the branch is a remote branch.

Error with Command Line Script in Azure DevOps Pipeline

This may be because your git command has wrong syntax.

According to the image you provided, we could to know the git command line you used is:

This is not the correct syntax to add all files, that also the reason why you get the error:

fatal: pathspec '-' did not match any files

If I use the same syntax git add —— all, I will get the same error message.

To resolve this error, please try to use following correct syntax:

git add --all

Besides, we could not use the AUTHORIZATION:BEARER with $(system.AccessToken), you need to use Authorization: Basic with Base64-encode:

Please check this thread for some more details.

That the reason why you get the error git: 'bearer' is not a git command..

To resolve this issue, you could use git command line with PAT directly to push the files:

git push https://<Your PAT>@dev.azure.com/<YourOrganization>/<YourProject>/_git/MyTestProject HEAD:master

In addition, what Jane said is another issue.
