git - Fatal: Could not read password for 'https://OrganizationName@dev.azure.com': terminal prompts disabled

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://OrganizationName@dev.azure.com': terminal prompts disabled

The code repository is "Azure Repos Git".

git checkout -b master
git config --global user.email "xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx"
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://PAT@dev.azure.com/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:SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN@dev.azure.com/......

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