I want to push files from a folder on Azure App Service to a Git repository.
I have copied the local git repo up to the server and I'm using LibGit2Sharp to commit and push these files:
using (var repo = new Repository(@"D:\home\site\wwwroot\repo"))
{
// Stage the file
Commands.Stage(repo, "*");
// Create the committer's signature and commit
Signature author = new Signature("translator", "example.com", DateTime.Now);
Signature committer = author;
// Commit to the repository
Commit commit = repo.Commit($"Files updated {DateTime.Now}", author, committer);
Remote remote = repo.Network.Remotes["origin"];
var options = new PushOptions
{
CredentialsProvider = (_url, _user, _cred) =>
new UsernamePasswordCredentials
{
Username = _settings.UserName,
Password = _settings.Password
}
};
repo.Network.Push(remote, @"+refs/heads/master", options);
}
It works, but seems to take a while and and this seems a bit clunky. Is there a more efficient way to achieve this via code, or perhaps directly via Azure (config or Azure Functions)?
In case of Azure Apps you can still bundle embedded exes, There a portable Git available on below link
https://github.com/sheabunge/GitPortable
You should bundle that with your app and create a batch file as well. And then you should launch it using C# code
static void ExecuteCommand(string command)
{
var processInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "/c " + command);
processInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
processInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
processInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
processInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
var process = Process.Start(processInfo);
process.OutputDataReceived += (object sender, DataReceivedEventArgs e) =>
Console.WriteLine("output>>" + e.Data);
process.BeginOutputReadLine();
process.ErrorDataReceived += (object sender, DataReceivedEventArgs e) =>
Console.WriteLine("error>>" + e.Data);
process.BeginErrorReadLine();
process.WaitForExit();
Console.WriteLine("ExitCode: {0}", process.ExitCode);
process.Close();
}
