This project allows you to generate a YAML pipeline from an existing ADO "release" pipeline. The YAML pipeline is generated from the "release" pipeline definition, not from the "release" pipeline run.
Release Pipelines, with their graphical editor, were a great idea in the previous decade. Now that release isn't solely an ops team concern (and some shops no longer have an ops team), it makes sense to move towards YAML pipelines:
- Microsoft have made it clear that YAML pipelines are the future
- YAML pipelines are easier to version control
- YAML pipelines are easier to share
- You're probably building code in YAML pipelines already
- Azure CLI with the ADO extension
- Ruby 3.0 distribution
- this repo cloned locally
Install Yamlease:
gem install yamleaseExtract your release definition from ADO:
az pipelines release definition list --organization https://dev.azure.com/$ORG --project "$PROJECT"
az pipelines release definition show --organization https://dev.azure.com/$ORG --project "$PROJECT" --id $ID| tee my_release.ymlRun Yamlease:
ye my_release.yml > my_pipeline.ymlPaste your pipeline into ADO and tweak as necessary. You'll want to add in a pipeline to build the application that you're releasing in the first stage.
