##[warning]Unable to remove "http.proxy" from the git config. To remove the credential...

fatal: could not read Password for 'http://satyam@xyz.net@10.220.129.49:80': terminal prompts disabled

From above error, it seemed that it was caused by the git proxy settings on your agent machine. The git proxy setting failed to be removed, and it prompted to ask for proxy password.

You can try logging into your agent machine and run below command locally to remove any proxy setting from git config.

git config --unset-all http.proxy

And Then you also need to check the system-wide configuration area on Windows which is the %PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config file. You need to manually edit this config file to unset the proxy settings.

You can run command git config --show-origin http.proxy to get the system-wide configuration area. See this thread.

After the proxy setting is removed from git config. You can have a try running your pipeline again.

Limit job authorization scope to current project Azure Pipelines provides two Limit job authorization scope to current project settings:

Limit job authorization scope to current project for non-release pipelines - This setting applies to YAML pipelines and classic build pipelines. This setting does not apply to classic release pipelines. Limit job authorization scope to current project for release pipelines - This setting applies to classic release pipelines only.
