Some time ago, Microsoft started provisioning main branches instead of the more traditional master – which admittedly comes with plenty of baggage nowadays – but didn’t automatically update old repositories. Somehow, importing a repo from GitHub to AzDO ended up with the primary branch being called differently, and that threw a wrench to git’s pulling gears big time. Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'refs/heads/master'įrom the remote, but no such ref was fetched. The error would be somewhat like this: fatal: no such branch: 'master…master' git pull -tags That didn’t work – instead, Visual Studio Code would throw an error and fail. I had just imported a repository from GitHub (this one, if you’re interested ) to Azure DevOps and tried to pull it locally. So there I was, just following a guide on.
