I have an Azure Pipeline (yaml) which uses templates and I'm trying to figure out how to setup the fetch depth of the actual repository being cloned.
resources:
repositories:
- repository: templates
type: git
name: 'DevOps/CICD'
ref: refs/heads/develop
- repository: self # sic!
fetchDepth: 1
clean: true`
Fetch depth is supported (vscode extension) but I can't seem to find any extensive documentation on it..
Placing this under steps works for me:
steps:
- checkout: self
fetchDepth: 1
clean: true
- task: NuGetCommand@2
...
Results in:
2019-01-17T09:21:45.1133753Z ##[command]git -c http.extraheader="AUTHORIZATION: bearer ***" fetch --tags --prune --progress --no-recurse-submodules --depth=1 origin
here's the link you are looking for: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/yaml-schema?view=vsts&tabs=schema#checkout
the property is fetchDepth indeed.
Another option is to add the following setting into the Variables section of your YAML pipeline:
variables:
Agent.Source.Git.ShallowFetchDepth: 1
Azure Pipelines will automatically recognize this setting and use it as a --depth=1 argument when it does git fetch.
