powershell to run git commit using PAT in Azure github pipelines
I created a Personal Access Token for my repository and named it as 'PAT', created a variable called 'PATSecret' in my pipeline for the secret of PAT. Passing PATSecret as an input variable for $Cred. But when trying to use this secret to run commit command, authentication is failing.
param(
[string]$Cred
)
git --version
git add .
Write-Host "setup author info"
git config user.email you@you.com
git config user.name "your name"
Write-Host "git commit with message"
git commit -m "Test Commit from Azure DevOps"
git push -u https://PAT:$($cred)@dev.azure.com/project/_git/myrepo HEAD
Error message:
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://dev.azure.com/project/_git/myrepo/'
##[error]PowerShell exited with code '1'.
