Laravel App tutorial fails, on git push

Question

I'm following the tutorial at:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/tutorial-php-mysql-app?pivots=platform-linux

Everything seems to work until I get to the 'Push to Azure from Git' step. At that point, I get:

git push azure master

Can anyone help, please?

TIA

Answer 1

Embarrasingly enough, this problem was due to reading the wrong instructions - in this case the instructions for the Linux platform rather than Windows! Many apologies
