powershell to run git commit using PAT in Azure github pipelines

[SBVRaja]

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'.

Hello @SBVRaja, Please try to run it locally and check if it is working. Make sure to that you have created a service connection in Azure DevOps. And the other possibility is that it could be due to the url, you can refer the documentation for git push here.

Write-Host "Branch name is: " $branch

$branch = ("$env:BUILD_SOURCEBRANCH").replace("refs/heads/","")

Exit
}

git checkout $branch
git pull

<#Your code & changes to commig#>

git add .
git config --global user.email "Any email id"
git config --global user.name "Any user name"
git commit -am "commit message [ci skip]" #To skip the automatic trigger of the build use [ci skip]
git push --set-upstream origin $branch


Note: You need to enable the option "Allow scripts to access the OAuth token" on the 'Agent job' of the pipeline under Additional Options
