✔ Creating a project
✔ Importing an existing GitHub repository
✔ Setting the correct default branch
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to set up a brand-new Azure DevOps project and bring your application code into it properly so it’s ready for pipelines, pull requests, and deployments.
This is perfect for beginners in DevOps, CI/CD, or cloud development who want a practical starting point.
