I am getting error as fatal: pathspec '*?' did not match any files when trying to run the git add * command from the shell script. Please find the details below.

OABLN1234:/mnt/d/Git_Repos/pipeline$ ll
total 4
drwxrwxrwx 1 harman harman  512 Feb 19 21:05 ./
drwxrwxrwx 1 harman harman  512 Feb 19 14:56 ../
drwxrwxrwx 1 harman harman  512 Feb 19 21:18 .git/
-rwxrwxrwx 1 harman harman 3906 Feb 19 18:39 Jenkinsfile*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 harman harman   66 Feb 19 21:18 push.sh*

OABLN1234:/mnt/d/Git_Repos/pipeline$ cat push.sh
git add *
git commit -m "Push everything from Laptop"
git push

OABLN1234:/mnt/d/Git_Repos/pipeline$ ./push.sh
fatal: pathspec '*?' did not match any files
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Changes not staged for commit:
        modified:   push.sh

no changes added to commit
' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
        push

How can I fix this?

Can you run `git add *` normally, by hand? – 9769953 Feb 19 '20 at 16:19
Have you tried running `sh ./push.sh` instead? – 9769953 Feb 19 '20 at 16:19
Does changing to `git add .` changes the behavior? – vinWin Feb 19 '20 at 16:35
`cat -v push.sh` to verify there are no hidden strange characters after `git add *` – phd Feb 19 '20 at 17:27
Your script almost certainly has DOS line endings, and the carriage return at the end of `git add *` is being shown as a `?` in the error message. – chepner Feb 19 '20 at 17:43
The error message `' is not a git command` also comes from the attempt to run `git push\r`, not `git push`; the carriage return corrupts how the error message is displayed. – chepner Feb 19 '20 at 17:44
@phd Yes it was due to DOS line endings as I written script in windows and tried to execute in linux – Chetu Feb 28 '20 at 06:20
