Demonstrates cloning a repository using command line and GUI tools, builds a local repo in a repos folder, and reveals version control basics including the master branch.

Learn how to clone a repository, work locally, create commits, and push changes to the origin branch, syncing your local work with the remote repository.

Learn how to change code and make local commits using Visual Studio Code and the Git workflow, including staging changes, writing commit messages, and configuring user identity.

Demonstrate pushing local commits to the remote master with git push origin master, using vscode or the terminal, and authenticate via browser sign-in or a personal access token.

Create a branch from master to safely develop features, make commits locally, push to GitHub, and merge back to master when ready, keeping master clean.

Create a new local git branch with git checkout -b branch, verify status, switch between branches and master in VS Code, and push to origin when ready.

Follow along the demo to create local commits on a feature branch using git in Visual Studio Code, stage changes, switch branches, and verify branch isolation from master.

Push the local branch to origin to publish commits and verify the remote shows the branch with its files. Confirm that master remains clean with no changes from the branch.

Push your feature branch to the remote repository, then merge it into the master branch via a pull request. After merging, delete the feature branch to keep the repository tidy.

Learn how to create a pull request on GitHub, compare branches, merge changes into master, and manage commits and branches through the pull request workflow.

Keep your local repository in sync with the remote by using git pull before git push, especially when origin has newer commits.

Learn to create a project in Visual Studio Community 2019 and install the free tool, while understanding what Visual Studio Community 2019 is and its scope.

Install and run Visual Studio Community 2019 to build a website with ASP.NET, selecting web development workloads, signing in, and choosing a light or dark theme for a smooth setup.

Demonstrates building a basic ASP.NET Web Forms project in Visual Studio 2019, using drag-and-drop controls to create a form that greets the user with their name.

Engage in a small optional challenge to add an extra button and a text label that displays 'why did you click here?' when clicked.

Create and place a button on the designer page, set its action, and update the label to not here while ensuring proper quotes and semicolons.

Explore what Azure is and what you can do with it. Learn what an agile web app means and how publishing to Azure fits in the DevOps lifecycle.

Explore what Azure is as a cloud service platform with data centers, regions, virtual machines, and web servers, and how Azure DevOps supports agile DevOps.

Create an Azure web app with app services, a resource group, and a unique DNS name; deploy an ASP.NET site on a Windows platform as a service hosting plan.

Publish and deploy your AI web app to Azure Web App from Visual Studio, selecting the subscription and resource group, with a manual build and publish in a guided demo.

Change a component in your solution, then build and publish to see the update. Follow the challenge to build and publish again to see it updated.

Explore how to build, publish, and verify a solution quickly by updating a deployment profile, building again, and confirming the published site with an ok button.

learn how to add your application to version control by creating a GitHub repository and pushing code, with automated workflows from Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition and backup steps.

Initiate a local git repository, sign in to GitHub via Visual Studio, and push the app to a remote repository, demonstrating one go versus separate steps.

Handle a failed wizard flow in Azure DevOps Jumpstart with manual steps, initialize processes, and three demos for local setup and creating an employee.

Initialize a local git repository, add the application to version control, and create a remote GitHub repository, then push the changes using either right-click or the command prompt.

Create an empty GitHub repository, skip initialization, and push a preexisting local repository to the remote by matching the repository name and pushing from the command line.

Push your app to GitHub by configuring a remote origin, staging and committing files, and pushing to the master branch, using git status and commit messages for clarity.

Discover how a project in Azure DevOps serves as the one-stop automation hub for builds, tests, and deployments, with GitHub integration and continuous feedback into operations.
