#Azure #Devops #Extensions #Custom #Tasks
This is Part 1 or the first part in a #series that will cover how to make #custom #vsts aka #azure #devops #build and #release #extensions or #tasks. This video will cover how to create a custom extension in Azure Devops using #nodeJS and #typescript as well as #tfxcli
Link to the previous video that covers how to #install any and all #dependencies that you may require.
I understand that many may have come here looking for how to create a build and release task using #powershell and I will cover that in a future part. Long story short, it will utilize powershell #module and a slight different approach in terms of #manifest and other #config #files
This video overviews the process to create a custom build and release task for Azure DevOps all the way from scratch to publishing it into azure #marketplace and associating it with your project. Topics such as #testing will be covered in the follow up part 2 or next video. Powershell implementation will be in part 3.
