Hi @scolladon , my code is unable to find from branch and it errors out with :

Hi @anustupgit,

We have a dedicated section about CI specificities to help deal with all those aspects.

Does this pipeline fetch all the history or only the last commit ?

I just faced the same issue with Azure Pipelines.
I use the following script:

          - bash: git fetch origin YOUR-TARGET-BRANCH
            displayName: Fetching YOUR-TARGET-BRANCH branch
          - bash: sfdx sgd:source:delta --from HEAD~1 --output .

What helped is ensuring that I fetch the history as Azure by default uses Shallow Fetch

so you have to ensure to overwrite shallow fetch at the job level:

    jobs:
      - job: deploy
        displayName: Deploy - YOUR TARGET BRANCH
        steps:
          - checkout: self
            persistCredentials: true
            fetchDepth: 0
