HTTP Status Code: 400 ** BranchNameIsTagNameException ** The specified branch name is not valid because it is a tag name. Enter the name of a branch in the repository. For a list of valid branch names, use [ListBranches](API_ListBranches.md). HTTP Status Code: 400 ** BranchNameRequiredException ** A branch name is required, but was not specified. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** CommitMessageLengthExceededException ** The commit message is too long. Provide a shorter string. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** DirectoryNameConflictsWithFileNameException ** A file cannot be added to the repository because the specified path name has the same name as a file that already exists in this repository. Either provide a different name for the file, or specify a different path for the file. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** EncryptionIntegrityChecksFailedException ** An encryption integrity check failed. HTTP Status Code: 500 ** EncryptionKeyAccessDeniedException ** An encryption key could not be accessed. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** EncryptionKeyDisabledException ** The encryption key is disabled.

HTTP Status Code: 400 ** FileContentAndSourceFileSpecifiedException ** The commit cannot be created because both a source file and file content have been specified for the same file. You cannot provide both. Either specify a source file or provide the file content directly. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** FileContentSizeLimitExceededException ** The file cannot be added because it is too large. The maximum file size is 6 MB, and the combined file content change size is 7 MB. Consider making these changes using a Git client. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** FileDoesNotExistException ** The specified file does not exist. Verify that you have used the correct file name, full path, and extension.

HTTP Status Code: 400 ** FileModeRequiredException ** The commit cannot be created because no file mode has been specified. A file mode is required to update mode permissions for a file. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** FileNameConflictsWithDirectoryNameException ** A file cannot be added to the repository because the specified file name has the same name as a directory in this repository. Either provide another name for the file, or add the file in a directory that does not match the file name.

The commit ID cannot be empty, and must match the head commit ID for the branch of the repository where you want to add or update a file. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** InvalidPathException ** The specified path is not valid. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** InvalidRepositoryNameException ** A specified repository name is not valid.

Consider using a Git client for these changes. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** NameLengthExceededException ** The user name is not valid because it has exceeded the character limit for author names. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** NoChangeException ** The commit cannot be created because no changes will be made to the repository as a result of this commit. A commit must contain at least one change. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** ParentCommitDoesNotExistException ** The parent commit ID is not valid because it does not exist. The specified parent commit ID does not exist in the specified branch of the repository. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** ParentCommitIdOutdatedException ** The file could not be added because the provided parent commit ID is not the current tip of the specified branch. To view the full commit ID of the current head of the branch, use [GetBranch](API_GetBranch.md). HTTP Status Code: 400 ** ParentCommitIdRequiredException ** A parent commit ID is required. To view the full commit ID of a branch in a repository, use [GetBranch](API_GetBranch.md) or a Git command (for example, git pull or git log). HTTP Status Code: 400 ** PathRequiredException ** The folderPath for a location cannot be null. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** PutFileEntryConflictException ** The commit cannot be created because one or more files specified in the commit reference both a file and a folder. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** RepositoryDoesNotExistException ** The specified repository does not exist. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** RepositoryNameRequiredException ** A repository name is required, but was not specified. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** RestrictedSourceFileException ** The commit cannot be created because one of the changes specifies copying or moving a .gitkeep file. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** SamePathRequestException ** The commit cannot be created because one or more changes in this commit duplicate actions in the same file path. For example, you cannot make the same delete request to the same file in the same file path twice, or make a delete request and a move request to the same file as part of the same commit. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** SourceFileOrContentRequiredException ** The commit cannot be created because no source files or file content have been specified for the commit.
