The shell used is the one defined for the user kehinde.
You could get this information on your server with…
My bet is your deployement user is defined to use /bin/sh
You can change this with
If You have access to sudo.

Thanks immensely @kokolegorille.
The output of
cat /etc/passwd | grep kehindeI believe this output already shows that the default shell is /bin/bash.
kokolegorille
Yes it does… the shell used is the last field

Please i’m a little bit curious about the localhost under the authorizing 46.101.30.23 on localhost Does this have anything to do with the error?
kokolegorille
I am sorry, I have little experience with edeliver as I deploy manually.
But what I can tell is the user shell is ok, that would mean the rest is in error.
I cannot really help You, but I would try to run each commands separately, to check which one is failing.

Do you have
gitinstalled ? Edeliver adds your build machine as remote and uses the ssh protocol to push the source code of your app there. you can check that by running git remote -v show in you project directory after building on the build host. It shows something like that:papakay
Thanks. @kokolegorille

Thanks so much @alexandrubagu. Yes i have git installed on the build host. Please see below the output of the command.
