Summary

In this chapter, we explored the world of Git, the distributed version control system, and discovered how to use PAC CLI to export/import and unpack Power Platform solutions in Git repositories. We also delved into the inner workings of professional DevOps pipelines and saw how build tools such as Azure DevOps tasks and GitHub actions use the underlying PAC CLI to perform actions within provider-hosted or self-hosted agents.

In the second half of the chapter, we combined the Power Platform managed pipeline results from Chapter 4 with professional DevOps tools and achieved a version control integration directly from managed pipelines. To top it all off, we used GitHub Copilot and Copilot for Power Automate to generate YAML pipelines and Power Automate cloud flows that we had previously created manually.
