I'm deploying to Azure sites using GitHub, but for some reason I'm not seeing any files insidre the wwwroot folder. It seems like the deployment is not going thur. I do see the files inside the repository folder.
You don't specify what you have done in setting up the deployment. However, the following is what has worked for me:
Set the Azure Website for Git Deployment via the following instructions:
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/common-tasks/publishing-with-git/
Create a GitHub repository
Initialize your local working folder in Git. Push to the repo. By the sounds of things, you have done this.
Then you need to make sure you link your Azure Website with your GitHub repo. In the Portal, go to the 'Deployments' section of your Azure Website and click:
If you are logged into GitHub in the same browser it will quickly ask you to specify the correct repository and that'll be it.
This is the step I suspect you either may not have done completely, or perhaps you have selected the wrong repository.
Once it is hooked up, Azure will pull and deploy each time you push a commit to the master branch in the repository.

I am deploying our NodeJS application to our Azure App service using Azure's local git. What I am basically doing is making our CICD pipeline git commit our changes and do a force push to Azure's Local Git. Then, Azure will build the application from the committed files, which seems to be working fine.
But today, I have made a shocking discovery, after couple of weeks of deployment, the files in the wwwroot folder does not match the files in the Local Git Repo. The files that do not exist anymore in the Local Git repo are still in the wwwroot folder
For example, the git repo contains the following files under prisma/migrations
But in the Azure App service wwwroot folder, the same directory contains more than that:
So, these files are actually from previous deployments that do not exist in the latest version of the master branch of the Local Git.
Upon looking at their deployment step, I learned that they are simply copying whatever files are created in their deployment "Oryx/Kudu" deployment step into the wwwroot folder without checking if there should be files needed to be deleted:
If this is the case with this approach, is there a proper way to do this?
Or is there a quick way to clean the existing wwwroot folder first before their deployer copy the files?
Hope somebody can help.
Thanks!
If you use the Azure App Service Deploy task in Azure DevOps Pipeline to deploy your application and select Web Deploy method option, there is an additional option to Remove Additional Files at Destination.
If you check this option, the deployment process will remove any files at the destination where there is no corresponding file in the package that is being deployed.
In other words, it'll remove any left-over files from a previous deployment that are no longer required.

I have a repository in GitHub and have a bunch of documentation(.md) files there.
I want to migrate the documentations into one of the Azure DevOps Wikis.
I am referring this link.
When I am using the option Publish code as Wiki,it only shows the repositories which are available inside the Azure DevOps project.
Is there a way I can publish the GitHub documentations in repositories which are from another project into the Azure DevOps Wikis?
Consider approaching this differently. If you are using git for your Azure DevOps project, then the Azure DevOps Wiki should be persisted to a hidden, but locatable, git repository. Git clone the source and target repositories locally. Then copy what you want to the target (Azure DevOps Wiki, local clone). Git add, commit, and push the added target files.
Attached images/files, if any, may be more problematic depending on how exactly they are represented in the source GitHub repo. In Azure DevOps Wiki ALL attachments are simply stored in a root .attachments folder. So, you'll need to migrate them there and "fix up" your links.
I've done this going the other direction, Azure DevOps Wiki -> GitHub Enterprise repo. You should know that you’ll likely need to “fix up” page links and that the two markdown styles have slight variations you may have to address.

for copying documents from GitHub you need to use Import repository from your devops project.

For complete information you can go through the Import Git repo link.
I have problem with deployment from bitbucket repository into Azure App Service website. Changes on master branch are showed in kudu but not displayed on website. I've figured out possible problem.
Deployed changes from git repository are being added to client folder, but App Service is probably pointing to /wwwroot/ folder which was updated 2 days ago, that's why I dont see deployed changes. Does anyone have solution on how to fix this?
I have a new version of my web app and after a new deployment from a new Bitbucket repo the old version is still served. I've deleted the App Service and then created it again, but still the old stuff is served. Everything I've tried results in a successful deployment of the new code, but when I browse the site, the old version is served. To get rid of the old code can I go to the console and just delete everything in site/wwwroot? Is there a git repo in Azure I can initialize?
According to your description, I assumed that you are using continuous deployment for your Azure App Service app. AFAIK, for basic web site deployment, azure would clone your Bitbucket repo to D:\home\site\repository, then restore packages or compile your project, then deploy your project to D:\home\site\wwwroot.
As David commented that you could leverage KUDU or ftp tool (e.g. FileZilla) to check your files under site\wwwroot and site\repository, and compare with your Bitbucket repo to make sure your source code has been synced into site\repository.
Also, you could try to delete site\wwwroot and site\repository via KUDU, then Disconnect and set your continuous deployment again on Azure portal to isolate this issue.
I want to create a website and use GitHub for source control. How can I have Azure websites point to my GitHub account and pull the code from there?
Azure App Service supports continuous deployment to Web Apps from source code control and repository tools like BitBucket, CodePlex, Dropbox, Git, GitHub, Mercurial, and TFS. You can use these tools to maintain the content and code for your application, and then quickly and easily push changes to your Azure web app when you want.
There are a several steps to make this happen:
Create an empty website on Azure.
Push your web code from your local Git repository to one on GitHub.
From with in the Azure portal, click on your newly created website, followed by Deployments -> Set up continuous deployment.
At the next screen, you'll be prompted to select your source. Select GitHub.
You'll be prompted to enter your credentials.
Select the repository you'd like to monitor, and if possible, the branch.
In a few moments Azure will pull the code from your GitHub repository, and you'll be good to go!
You are not limited to GitHub, though. You can also deploy from BitBucket, CodePlex, Dropbox, GitHub, or Mercurial results in a continuous deployment process where Azure will pull in the most recent updates from your project, nearly instantly.
