I am learning Azure, and what I observed, a huge part of the official Microsoft documentation is either obsolete, or doesn't correspond to the reality, or just does not work as expected because of errors.
One example is the article I study, Create deployment slots (on Azure).
Here I am stuck with the following:
The first question is, what the hell is the "Cloud Shell", I didn't find such a thing in the Azure portal, so I supposed they talk about the Console from the Development Tools section... OK, lets go :
D:\home\demoapp\app-service-web-dotnet-get-started>git remote add production https://[email protected]:443/MyTestSlots.git
D:\home\demoapp\app-service-web-dotnet-get-started>git push production
Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt.
fatal: could not read Password for 'https://[email protected]:443': Bad file descriptor
So, OK, I am not asked for password!?! What to do?
I tried
git config --global core.askpass /usr/libexec/git-core/git-gui--askpass
but
error: cannot spawn /usr/libexec/git-core/git-gui--askpass: No such file or directory
tried
git config --global core.askpass "C:\Program Files\Git\\mingw64\libexec\git-core\git-gui--askpass"
but the same
error: cannot spawn C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core\git-gui--askpass: No such file or directory
Please help.
