Using Github as main Repository

Posted on by Khurshid Wali 922
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,
    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

    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 Komi Siabi,
    Thank you for replying. 
     
    I mean the GitHub platform not the DevOps Git.
