C# Azure DevOps Git：无法推送新目录

Question

I'm trying to work with Azure DevOps Git API for C#.Net, and for the most part I've figured it out. However I'm having issues with pushing a new directory to the repository.

Below is the relevant code snippets I have so far;

Create the Commit

        GitCommitRef commit = new GitCommitRef()
        {
            Comment = "Add a sample file",
            Changes = new GitChange[]
            {
                new GitChange()
                {
                    ChangeType = VersionControlChangeType.Add,
                    Item = new GitItem() { Path = "/TESTFOLDER", GitObjectType = GitObjectType.Tree, IsFolder = true },
                    NewContent = null
                    //NewContent = new ItemContent()
                    //{
                    //    Content = Utilities.ReadFile(fileNamePath),
                    //    ContentType = ItemContentType.RawText
                    //}
                 },

                new GitChange()
                {
                    ChangeType = VersionControlChangeType.Add,
                    Item = new GitItem() {Path = "/TESTFOLDER/" + fileName, GitObjectType = GitObjectType.Blob, IsFolder = false },
                    NewContent = new ItemContent()
                    {
                        Content = Utilities.ReadFile(fileNamePath),
                        ContentType = ItemContentType.RawText
                    }

                }

Create the Push

        GitPush toPush = new GitPush()
        {
            RefUpdates = new GitRefUpdate[] { newBranch },
            Commits = new GitCommitRef[] { commit }
        };

        // Create the push with the new branch and commit
        GitPush push = gitClient.CreatePushAsync(toPush, repo.Id).Result;

WHen it executes the Push with that commit, it errors saying "The parameters supplied are not valid. Parameter name: newPush".

I have had trouble finding anything in the documentation that could help me figure out how to place the "fileName" file, inside a directory created at the same time?

The error seems to be caused by the GitChange object for the TESTFOLDER directory in GitChanges .

You donot need to specify a new GitChange object for the TESTFOLDER directory. As @StriplingWarrior commented empty directory is not allowed in git.

You can just specify a new GitChange object for the file only. If the directory which the file resides doesnot exist. It will be automatically created.

See below:

GitCommitRef commit = new GitCommitRef()
        {
            Comment = "Add a sample file",
            Changes = new GitChange[]
            {
                new GitChange()
                {
                    ChangeType = VersionControlChangeType.Add,
                    Item = new GitItem() {Path = "/TESTFOLDER/" + fileName, GitObjectType = GitObjectType.Blob, IsFolder = false },
                    NewContent = new ItemContent()
                    {
                        Content = Utilities.ReadFile(fileNamePath),
                        ContentType = ItemContentType.RawText
                    }

                }

See below screen from my test: The directory was automatically created.
