Common Mistakes

Choosing a feature branch instead of the main branch for triggers.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect syntax to access variables in scripts.

Not referencing the variable group properly.

The variable group MyVariableGroup is referenced. The secret variable secretToken is accessed with $(secretToken) syntax in the script.
