INPUTS

OUTPUTS

NOTES

Git does not throw an error that can be caught by the pipeline. For example this git command error but does not throw 'hello' as one would expect.

PS> try { git describe --contains } catch { throw 'hello' }
fatal: cannot describe '144e0422398e89cc8451ebba738c0a410b628302'

So we have to determine if git worked or not by checking the last exit code and then throw an error to stop the pipeline.
