However if I use the same code from personal github repo (also private) it works fine on same release pipeline 

  • Hi MZeinstra , Yes I've, so my repo had some large files which were commited as LFS wo when additng the artifacts I had to choose the option to checkout files from LFS and it resolved the issue for me.

    Have you found anything useful / a solution to this already? If you did, would you be so kind to post your information here? Perhaps it could be a great help to me and others 🙂
