Microsoft 托管的 devops 代理中的 gitconfig 权限被拒绝

Question

Using git command in pipeline: git config --system --add 'url azure-devops' Authorization:Bearer $token

output: /usr/bin/bash --noprofile --norc /home/vsts/work/_temp/f76ec2f0-0843-41ba-8959-8534015c5e43.sh error: could not lock config file /etc/gitconfig: Permission denied ##[error]Bash exited with code '255'. Finishing: Configure Git token

I tried to set permission as well but it doesnot work. Also its related to etc directory which need root user. Any idea or suggestions on this, please?

Answer 1

As you've noted, your command requires root and it's failing because you don't have it. That's because you've used the --system flag to git config , which modifies the system configuration file, usually stored in /etc/gitconfig .

It would be better to use --global if you need something for all repositories on a CI system, and that file should be modifiable by your user. Alternately, if you have just a single repository already and want to use it, you can use --local (or omit the flag) to set it only locally.
