Checkin a single file into an Azure Repo using the commandline

Question

I have an existing Azure Repo. What I'd like to do is checkin a single file into the Repo from a local folder, using the commandline.

I'm not particularly concerned whether this is achieved using Az Powershell, Az Cli, Git or any other scripting language for that matter, although I must say that of the named three, I'm least familiar with Git and so Az Powershell or Az Cli would probably be my preferred option.

Any suggestions?

What is the context? Explain why you have to use a cli to perform a commit/push. — Lorenzo Isidori, Oct 12 '21 at 08:29
@ShaykiAbramczyk, pay less heed to the terminology which may differ across version control systems, but the concept is essentially the same. The task is simply to add/put/commit/checkin a file into my Azure Repo (Git). — hitman126, Oct 12 '21 at 12:38
@LorenzoIsidori the task is to be automated, hence the need for a script or command. — hitman126, Oct 12 '21 at 12:40
if it's git so use command line with `git` commands, if it's TFVC so use command line with `tf.exe` commands. — Shayki Abramczyk, Oct 12 '21 at 12:44
Azure Repos are Git Repositories. Therefore use Git commands. What have you tried and what were the results? @LorenzoIsidori answer will help you. — John Hanley, Oct 12 '21 at 22:22

If you need an automated way to do a commit/push you can reach it in many ways, but the commands are the same whatever cli you are using. This because every cli at the end use git :

git add <fileName>
git commit -m"Commit description"
git push

You can put those instructions in a .bat, in a .ps1 or others. Add this file in your repository and then you can execute it in the Azure Pipeline to automate this action.
