How to format Git settings in appsettings.json

PowerShell Universal
21

OK we just deployed the latest nightly after removing the .git folder (and setting the log level to Debug).

Below is the log. I don’t see anything in there that says it’s initialising the repo, but I do see (on line 57) that it immediately tried to sync branch “main” (the branch we want) but couldn’t find it (because when I check our app service repository folder, the newly-created repo is “master”).

What else can we try?

Edit: I’ve had to revert back to 2.8.3 because the 2.9.0 nightly broke our dashboard. Apparently New-UDChartJS is not a command anymore in 2.9.0. Dunno if that should be a GH issue or if it’s one of those things that happens in nightly builds.

Hi Together,

today i faced the same error messages. Ii figured out that my personal acces token was expired. Maybe this helps someone who is facing this issue again

@Alex1988

Also just got this myself today, I accidently deleted my Azure DevOps PAT Token so generated a new one and then reconfigured my git and I was getting this same error, didnt get chance to check logs like mabster, my repo branch is also ‘main’ witihin ADO so wondering if it was a similar issue.
One thing I did try to do was restart my web app (linux docker) and it didnt make any difference.
Shortly after I went into the PSU admin, git config and hit the reset button, then just re-added the git config, after doing this I hit sync and the last sync status ‘3 hours ago’ didnt update, but when I made a change to one of my roles and then manually saved it, that worked and now it seems without issue again.

TL;DR: try hitting ‘reset’ in the git settings, then reapplying your git configuration, then making a change and adding a commit.
