Can't install azure cli extension : Error detail: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='objects.githubusercontent.com', port=443)

Question

Trying to install the Azure Devops CLI Extension

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/cli/?view=azure-devops

az extension add --name azure-devops is the command I run

I get the following error message

Error Message I have tried

git config http.sslVerify "false" I've tried to do multiple azure cli and powershell commands

I've set my context with

Set-AzContext -Subscription "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" I don't understand what the issue is here.

I've tried running the commands with and without the VPN ( I use Pulse VPN for reference)

I've tried setting powershell's execution policy to Undefined

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Undefined -Scope CurrentUser If someone could please let me know their thoughts on the specific error:

Please ensure you have network connection.

Answer 1

Normally, when executing the command line " az extension add --name azure-devops ", it will go to the Azure DevOps CLI Extension GitHub Repo to download the latest release of the extension.

You can try to manually open the Azure DevOps CLI Extension GitHub Repo and download the extension on your browser:

• If you also cannot manually access the GitHub Repo and download the extension, check whether there is any networking restriction or firewall set on your machine and the current network.

• If you can manually access the GitHub Repo and download the extension, try to manually install the extension on your machine.
