Is there a way to change the commit message when saving an Azure Data Factory to git?
Whenever you press save it seems you get a commit and that commit will change say Updating pipeline name. While sort of useful it would be nice to actually put in some descriptions of what's changed. Is there a way to do this?
Unfortunately, Azure Data Factory does not currently support to customize the commit message. We can upvote the feedback here to let Microsoft improve this feature.

When working with the regular source code, (Java, C++, etc..) there are things like
git pull ..
git fetch ..
git push ..
to synch your remote git repo branch with your local branch.
What is the equivalent of such in the Azure Data Factory world ?
So, I am using azure data factory with the Azure git repo.
I am working in the particular feature branch - "fefature branch"
And my pipeline has a copy activity that hits a data set in its "Sink" stage.
Here is a screen shot but .. it's pretty simple and seems right
I see that my code for Data set definition (Json) in the remote Git repository is different from what I see in the Azure portal gui (being pointed to that same remote branch). ADF Gui in the Azure Portal is correct, the one in the git repo contains some stuff that I already deleted, but it does not gets deleted there (Why??)
So, when I 'Debug' pipeline I get errors which indicate this discrepancy as a problem. I want ty sync the environments and .. given that I do not understand how the discrepancies came about, I don't know how to fix an issue?. Any help is appreciated.
In the ADF world, we use publish and create a new pull request to merge the new changes from a feature branch to the main branch.
it seems like your git repository version is not up to date with the live ADF.
If there are any pending changes in your main branch, then you can click on Publish button to merge the changes
And if you are working on the feature branches, you can merge the changes using the new pull request.
If you have multiple feature branches, then you will need to manually compare the different versions to resolve these conflicts.
I am currently reviewing between 5-15 pull requests a week on a project being developed using Azure Data Factory (ADF) and Databricks.
Most pull requests contain changes to our ADF pipelines, which gets stored in source code as nested JSON.
What I've found is that, as a reviewer, being able to visually see the changes being made to an ADF pipeline in the pull request make a huge difference in the speed and accuracy at which I can perform my review. Obviously, I can check out the branch and go view the pipelines for that branch directly on ADF, but that does not give me a differential view.
My question is this: Is there a way to parse two ADF pipeline json objects (source and destination branch versions of the same file) and generate a visual representation of each object? Ideally highlighting the differences, but just showing them would be a good first stab.
Bonus points if we can fit this into a Azure DevOps release pipeline and generate it automatically as part of the CI/CD pipeline.
If you are already using Azure DevOps then you should have exactly what you are wanting available in every Pull Request. For any Pull Request you can click on the Files tab and it will show a side by side comparison of every file. It color codes it and includes additions, updates, and removals. It is very helpful for review. Please refer to this screenshot for details and illustration:
So our project has been using Azure Data Factory with GIT integration for about a year without issues.
We just encountered one I need help with.
The data factory pulls in its changes from GIT. So usually we just check in / merge branches, and then I go to the portal and press publish new changes and it works fine.
Everything looked normal, but this time it failed because there was a pipeline referencing a deleted dataset.

I looked but couldn't find the pipeline in the project or my git repo's json files.
Finally I realized there was this button to switch over to "DataFactory" mode. I assume this was the old mode we used before we set up GIT?

In this mode I found the pipeline that was causing the failure, deleted it, but then I can't actually save the delete because I am not allowed to publish from Data Factory mode with GIT sync enabled.

So I seem to be in a holding pattern, can't publish from GIT to deploy code due to DataFactory mode, yet I can't fix DataFactory mode because I have GIT enabled.
I suppose I could disable the GIT sync, fix the DF mode, and renable the git sync but I am worried that might break something else.
Anyone seen this before?
Thanks

It seems your data between Git mode and Data Factory mode isn't synchronize. You can try to import existing resources to repository.

the git sync.
I think this way can work and it won't break something else.
You can disconnect the GIT repository, delete the pipeline from data factory mode, publish and re-connect to GIT. Make sure to import the existing resources to repo when you reconnect with GIT.
Hi I am trying to create a linked to the Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 1 but I am getting an error of "You are not allowed to make changes or publish from 'Data Factory' mode as your factory has GIT enabled."
I believe I edited the Data Factory already to remove the connection to GIT (disable GIT) but it is still not working.
Does anyone else have encounter similar issues before and have tips on how to solve this? Any helps is appreciated, thank you.
As we know,it will cost some time for the disconnect on the Git to take into place. We can refresh the page and try again.
We also can click the dropdown to check if you have removed the GIT successfully.
If successfully deleted, it will disappear from here.
Else, you can remove the Git repo here:
When using a Git-backed ADFv2, I'm trying to detect when a user publishes directly to the Factory vs when a user publishes to the Factory via the Git collaboration branch.
I've tried looking at the Activity Log, but I can't distinguish between events from a Git Publish vs events from a Direct Publish.
I see that this information is at least visible in the UI. Is this persisted anywhere? Is there any way to obtain this message?
Is there another way to do this?
According to my observation, the messages don't persisted anywhere.It is just temporarily stored in the browser's cache, and disappears once you refreshes it.
In the ADF active log,you only could see the epitomize of operations.
I supposed that you only can distinguish between events from a Git Publish vs events from a Direct Publish in the Dev ops page.
You could see the direct publish will leave the comments in the commits list.
And if you release any updates in the Git publish, you could remark some prefix,like --from git---.
