Git force push permission issue in Adobe Commerce on Cloud infrastructure
This article addresses the steps to resolve permission-related challenges encountered while attempting a force push operation in Adobe Commerce on Cloud infrastructure. It highlights scenarios where force push permissions are restricted, causing errors even when local branches are up-to-date.
Description description
Environment
Adobe Commerce on Cloud infrastructure v 2.4.6
Issue
When pushing code changes from an EC2 instance’s Git branch to the Adobe Git branch, you may encounter the following issues:
- An error indicating that the Adobe branch is ahead, even though your EC2 Git branch is up-to-date.
- A Force push from the EC2 Git branch is necessary, but permissions for force pushing aren’t granted.
This scenario prevents code synchronization and may disrupt deployment pipelines.
Resolution resolution
-
Ensure your local Git repository on the EC2 instance is synchronized with the latest changes from the remote Adobe Git branch.
-
Verify that your user account has the necessary permissions to perform a force push; if not, request elevated privileges from your system administrator or project owner.
-
Instead of force pushing, try rebasing or merging locally to align with the remote branch:
- Rebase your local branch onto the latest state of the remote branch.
- Resolve any conflicts during the rebase process and ensure all changes are correctly applied.
-
If the issue persists after verifying permissions and trying alternative methods, reach out to Adobe technical support for guidance.
By addressing permission issues through these steps, you can resolve challenges with force pushing in Adobe Commerce Cloud environments. Employing proper synchronization and alternative methods, such as rebasing, ensures smoother operations while maintaining version control integrity.
