Answer 1

You can use the following PowerShell Commands to enable local git repo for your Web app. (I am using Azure PowerShell 1.6.0)

$a = Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceId /subscriptions/<subscription id>/resourcegroups/<resource group name>/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/<web app name>/Config/web -ApiVersion 2015-08-01

$a.Properties.scmType = "LocalGit"

Set-AzureRmResource -PropertyObject $a.Properties -ResourceId /subscriptions/<subscription id>/resourcegroups/<resource group name>/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/<web app name>/Config/web -ApiVersion 2015-08-01

The credential for the git repo is the same as the FTP's. And, the git repo URL is https://<FTP user name>@<web app name>.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/<web app name>.git
