AzureDevOps clone and commit external repo-CodePudding

I have a azure devops pipeline which checkout a github repo , i also want to have a bash task to checkout another repo and modify it , check it back in .

git clone https://$(githubApiKey)@mygithub.private.com/myrepo/ops-one-code.git

fatal: could not read Password for 'https://***@mygithub.private.com': terminal prompts disabled

Did you generate personal access token on GitHub?

Just create new token from the below page with needed scopes:

settings > developer settings > personal access tokens > generate new token

Then use git clone command like below:

git clone https://[email protected]/myrepo/ops-one-code.git

You can accomplish your requested task using two powershell tasks:

Task to checkout a Github repository:

- task: PowerShell@2
  displayName: Checkout Repo
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: |
      git config user.email "user.email"
      git config user.name "user.name"
      Remove-Item s1 -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction Ignore
      git clone https://username:$(PAT)@github.com/org/repo.git s1
      cd s1
      git checkout main
    workingDirectory: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)'

Task to push back on the Github repository

- task: PowerShell@2
  displayName: Push git changes
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: |
      git config user.email "user.email"
      git config user.name "user.name"
      git add --all
      git commit -m "message"
      git push https://username:$(PAT)@github.com/org/repo.git s1
    workingDirectory: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)/s1'

Problem was the azure variable was a secret and it didn’t work with it hence it prompted for the password
