- 5. Agenda @ 2023 Dynamic Communities | “For Users, By Users” • Introduction to Git • Branching and Merging • Yes, we have to talk about TFVC • Definition and importance of continuous integration (CI) • Deployment options • YAML • Shifting to using Git and CI • Versioning customizations and extensions
- 6. @ 2023 Dynamic Communities Yo u r “ F o r U s e r, B y U s e r ” C o m m u n i t y • Git is a DevOps tool used for source code management. • It is a free and open-source version control system used to handle small to very large projects efficiently. • Git is used to track changes in the source code, enabling multiple developers to work together on non-linear development. What is Git and How Does it Work?
- 7. @ 2023 Dynamic Communities Yo u r “ F o r U s e r, B y U s e r ” C o m m u n i t y • TFVC has Official* MSFT Support • Git does not* • If you like TFVC and it’s given you no problems, great! • If that’s not you, we have other options • Focus on Git for Azure DevOps Mandatory TFVC Slide
- 8. @ 2023 Dynamic Communities Yo u r “ F o r U s e r, B y U s e r ” C o m m u n i t y https://playbook.microsoft.com/code-with-fusionops/FusionOps- for-Dynamics-365-Finance/Guides/GIT_walk_through/ Git has some Official* Docs now!
- 9. @ 2023 Dynamic Communities Yo u r “ F o r U s e r, B y U s e r ” C o m m u n i t y • Modern, not monolithic • Branches are short lived, few conflicts, less maintenance • Pull Based rather than push based • If you’re used to TFVC, requires a change in thinking • Continuous integration • Continuous delivery Why Use Git?

- 11. @ 2023 Dynamic Communities Yo u r “ F o r U s e r, B y U s e r ” C o m m u n i t y • VS 2017 / 2019 / 2022* • Get work • Get Branch • Do work • Test work • Commit Work (at any time) • Get continuous integration feedback • (re-test work) • (re-do work) • Create Pull Request (PR) (that will delete the branch) Basic Git Workflow for Developer

- 26. @ 2023 Dynamic Communities Yo u r “ F o r U s e r, B y U s e r ” C o m m u n i t y But what is Continuous Integration (CI)? • Frequent Commits: Encourages smaller, manageable changes. • Shared Repository: Everyone works on the latest code version or nearly the latest. Talk more on this in a bit. • Consistency: Maintains a consistent quality level. • Collaboration: Promotes teamwork among developers, testers, and operations.
