issues with mlops-v2/sparse_checkout.sh

[ManojBableshwar]

I bumped into the following issues while running mlops-v2/sparse_checkout.sh. I worked around them because i knew what the cmds were trying to accomplish.

Issue 1:

• git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/azure/mlops-project-template MLOps711Demo Cloning into 'MLOps711-sparse'... fatal: cannot change to 'https://github.com/azure/mlops-project-template': No such file or directory error: failed to initialize sparse-checkout

workaroud - used this cmd (not sure why above doesn't work) git clone https://github.com/azure/mlops-project-template --depth 1 --filter=blob:none MLOps711Demo

Issue 2:

• git init -b main error: unknown switch `b' usage: git init [-q | --quiet] [--bare] [--template=] [--shared[=]] []

  --template directory from which templates will be used --bare create a bare repository --shared[=] specify that the git repository is to be shared amongst several users -q, --quiet be quiet --separate-git-dir separate git dir from working tree

Workaound: first inited the repo and then renamed branch from master to main

git init git add . && git commit -m 'initial commit' git branch -m master main

Thank you very much! I was facing the same issues and this workaround helped solve them.

This is also caused by having git version 2.25.1. Upgrading to git version 2.37.3 resolves this. Workarounds not required.
