DevOps for your Organization – Part 4: Creating a Build

In the previous post, we created a sample ASP.NET Core web application and published it to Azure DevOps. In this post, I will be going through the steps for creating a a simple YAML build process for the project that we’ve checked in. This will be a pretty short post as Azure DevOps makes this process very easy.

Create Your New Build

1. From your project’s homepage in Azure DevOps, click the Pipelines button.

2. Click the New pipeline button.

3. Choose Azure Git Repos and select your repository

4. Select your repository

5. Select ASP.NET Core. For other projects, you can select Show more to see what other projects are available.

6. Review the YAML, then click Save and run.

And that’s it! You’ve got your first build in Azure DevOps! In our next post, we will be showing you how to protect your master branch so that you can enforce code quality.
