Fatal: Could not read password for 'https://Or

Question

I'm trying to merge the develop branch to the master branch when building with Azure Pipelines PowerShell task.

But while executing the command git push, I'm getting this error:

Fatal: Could not read password for 'https://[e-mail]': terminal prompts disabled

The code repository is "Azure Repos Git".

git checkout -b master
git config --global user.email "[e-mail]"
git config --global user.name "xxxxx"
git merge origin/develop 
git push origin master

After referring some URLs, I've created the Personal Access Token, and modified the push command as git push https://[e-mail]/OrganizationName, but it's still not working.

Please let me know, if you find a solution for this issue.

Answer 1

As you mentioned you need to use PAT but in this way:

git push https://{PAT}@dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_git/{repo-name}

Another solution is to "Allow scripts to access the OAuth token" in the job options:

In the git push use the System.AccessToken:

git push https://$env:[e-mail]/......

And give push permissions to the build user (in the repo settings):

Answer 2

Please read git-credential-cache.

The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type your username or password. For example:

$ git config credential.helper cache
$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
Username: <type your username>
Password: <type your password>

$ git push http://example.com/repo.git
