Pruning tags to match remote

git fetch --prune origin "+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*"

# delete all tags that start with test_ both locally and on remote
git fetch --prune origin "+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" && git tag --list | ? { $_.StartsWith("test_") } | % { git push origin --delete $_ }

How to checkout PR branch

git fetch origin pull/$ID/head:$BRANCHNAME
git checkout $BRANCHNAME

A few notes on git mv

Moving files up the tree goes "wonky" on Windows machines. Recommendation is to use git bash.

Note: remember that drives don't show up properly on git bash. cd / && ls won't show the disks. Just access the disk as a root folder. EG: C:/repo/sdk-tools turns into /c/repo/sdk-tools.

Furthermore, you will need to remember to add a target . in the suffix of the target path. EG:

# pwd -> /c/repo/sdk-tools/packages/python-packages
# move all files _below_ target folder under another target folder
git mv ./api-stub-generator/* ./apiview-stub-generator/.

403 / Auth errors

If you attempt to push, and are getting issues with

This token is not configured for SSO

Or related issues like that, you probably need to try doing git config --global credential.helper manager-core to force it to actually work with SAML SSO.

SSH

Reference git-ssh.md. Or the gist.

Github CLI (gh)

Github REST API

Authorization using PAT

$headers = @{
    "Accept" = "application/vnd.github+json"
    "Authorization" = "token $gh_token"
}

Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri "https://api.github.com/repos/azure/azure-sdk-assets-integration" -H $headers

This will work because the powershell Invoke-RestMethod will set the default User-Agent header FOR YOU. Github will reject any API requests that do not specify a User-Agent with a 403 Forbidden. They don't mandate any specific one, just that one is provided.

await octokit.request('GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases', { owner: 'octocat', repo: 'hello-world' })

@{ Authorization="Bearer $key"}

curl
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json"
https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/hello-world/releases

curl -i -u https://api.github.com/sbeddall/locker/releases -H "Authorization: token $gh_token"

curl -H "Authorization: token $gh_token" -i https://api.github.com/sbeddall/locker/releases

$headers = @{ "Content-Type" = "application/json" "Authorization" = "token $gh_token" }
