Hi,

One of my clients is asking to shift from AzureDevOps to Github as they use it for other development. I have not used Github for D365FO before.

Kindly help me configure it and the best practices I have to follow to achieve this.

Thanks

Hi Komi Siabi,

Thank you for replying.

I mean the GitHub platform not the DevOps Git.

Could you specify the topic a bit closer? Are you struggling with version control, automated builds (GitHib actions) or what?

If it's about source control, resources about git will help you even if they talk about a git repo hosted somewhere else than in GitHub, because it's still git.

Hi,

If you are confused about how to build a git repository, you can go to the corresponding github official website to view, which has a detailed tutorial step-by-step.

Create a GitHub Repository:

Create a new repository on GitHub to host your D365FO project.

Initialize it with a README or clone an existing repository if you already have one.

Migrate Source Code:

Copy the source code from your Azure DevOps repository to the GitHub repository.

Ensure that all customizations, models, and other relevant files are included.

Update Build Definitions:

Modify your build definitions to point to the new GitHub repository.

Adjust build steps and configurations as needed for GitHub.

Update Service Connections:

If you're using any service connections in Azure DevOps, update them to work with GitHub.

Configure Branch Policies:

Set up branch policies in GitHub to enforce code review, branch protection, and other necessary policies.

Collaboration and Pull Requests:

Leverage GitHub's pull request features for code reviews and collaboration.

Encourage developers to create feature branches and submit pull requests.

CI/CD Integration:

Integrate GitHub Actions or your preferred CI/CD tool for D365FO deployments.

Ensure that your deployment pipelines are configured correctly.

Best regards,

Kevin
