Overview of this book

Previously known as Team Foundation Server (TFS), Azure DevOps Server is a comprehensive on-premise DevOps toolset with a rich ecosystem of open source plugins. This book will help you learn how to effectively use the different Azure DevOps services. You will start by building high-quality scalable software targeting .NET, .NET Core and Node.js applications. Next, you will learn techniques that will help you to set up end-to-end traceability of your code changes, from design through to release. Whether you are deploying software on-premise or in the cloud in App Service, Functions, or Azure VMs, this book will help you learn release management techniques to reduce failures. As you progress, you will be able to secure application configuration by using Azure Key Vault. You will also understand how to create and release extensions to the Azure DevOps marketplace and reach the million-strong developer ecosystem for feedback. Later, the working extension samples will even allow you to iterate changes in your extensions easily and release updates to the marketplace quickly. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to break down the invisible silos between your software development teams, and transform them into a modern cross-functional software development team.

Using Git hooks with Azure DevOps Server 


Ryan Hellyer accidentally leaked his Amazon AWS access keys to GitHub and woke up to a $6,000 bill the next morning. Wouldn't you just expect a source control as clever as Git to stop you from making such a blunder? Well, in case you didn't know, you can put Git Hooks to work to address not just this but many similar scenarios. In the spirit of pushing quality left into the development process, you want to enable developers to identify and catch code quality issues when they are developing the code locally in their repository, even before raising the pull request to trigger the branch policies. Git hooks allow you to run custom scripts whenever certain important events occur in the Git life cycle, such as committing, merging, and pushing. Git ships with a number of sample hook scripts in the repo\.git\hooks directory. 

Since Git snares simply execute the contents on the particular occasion type they are approached, you can do practically anything...
