Grant Fritchey takes us through some of the baby steps in getting started with DevOps:
However, easy by comparison doesn’t mean just simply easy. There’s a lot of work involved and making mistakes early in the process has repercussions for every later step.
For example, where do your put your code?
Yeah, yeah, I know. Source control. I mean, where in source control do you put the code? What do you call the project and solution? Is it in git, github, Azure, or somewhere else? Choose wisely because every single step of automation you set up after this will be completely dependent on that first choice. Further, putting in github, or example, has repercussions for how you implement automation in Azure DevOps Pipelines.
But hey, no pressure.
