Cloning the source using below link
http://cakebuild.net/api/Cake.Git/GitAliases/2ACDDC0F
GitClone("https://github.com/cake-build/cake.git",
"c:/temp/cake",
"username",
"password",
new GitCloneSettings{ BranchName = "development" });
It works for cloning the branch source.
When i use the tag name(tags/12.4.2.1) instead of branchName facing the below issue
reference 'refs/remotes/origin/tags/12.4.2.1' not found
Note: tags/12.4.2.1 is exist
As a starting point, for the moment found only workaround,
to execute git clone specific tag commands through cmd
StartProcess
Task("Default")
.Does(() =>
{
GitClone("https://github.com/cake-build/cake.git",
"d:/temp/cake",
"userName",
"password",
new GitCloneSettings{ BranchName = "main" });
Cmd("cd /D D:\\temp\\cake",
" & git checkout v0.8.0",
" & git branch -D main",
" & git checkout -b main");
});
private void Cmd(params object[] parameters)
{
if (parameters.Any())
{
var args = new ProcessArgumentBuilder()
.Append(@"/c");
foreach (var param in parameters)
args.Append($"{param}");
StartProcess("cmd", new ProcessSettings { Arguments = args });
}
}
