  • Remove the GitHub origin with the following command
    • git remote remove origin
  • Copy the commands from Azure Repos to add the new remote origin and push the code
  • Start a new build pipeline using the YAML present in the new Azure DevOps repo
Deploy Node.js App to Azure WebApp Slot

Additional Resources

Start by logging into the Azure portal and creating a new Azure DevOps Organization. Connect to the Linux VM provisioned with this lab and clone the node-express branch of the following repository: [git clone -b node-express https://github.com/linuxacademy/content-az400-lab-resources.git](git clone -b node-express https://github.com/linuxacademy/content-az400-lab-resources.git)

Once you have the code, push to your new Azure Repos repository. This repository contains the build YAML, so you can kick off a build pipeline easily. Once you have the build artifact, start a release pipeline and add the appropriate tasks to deploy the artifact to Azure App Services (to the dev slot) and swap slots with production.
