Azure DevOps Repository Setup for Power Platform Projects

In this video, I walk through how to set up an Azure DevOps repository for a Power Platform / Power Apps project and start managing your app code like a real development project. Power Platform projects often start directly inside Power Apps or the Maker Portal, but as the solution grows, source control becomes important. Using Azure DevOps and VS Code gives you a cleaner way to track changes, organize files, collaborate with other makers/developers, and prepare for proper ALM. Tech stack used in this walkthrough: Azure DevOps Azure DevOps Repos Visual Studio Code Power Platform Power Apps Project code files Repository setup In this video, I cover: How to create an Azure DevOps project How to set up a new repository How to clone the repo into VS Code How to organize Power Platform project files How to connect your local project folder to source control How to commit and push changes Why repository structure matters for Power Apps projects How this setup helps with ALM, collaboration, and deployment planning This is a foundational setup for anyone building Power Apps or Power Platform solutions and wanting to move toward better development practices. Instead of keeping everything only inside the maker experience, this approach helps you bring your Power Platform work into a professional development workflow with version history, branching, and better project organization. By the end of the video, you will understand how Azure DevOps, VS Code, repositories, and Power Platform project files work together. #AzureDevOps #PowerPlatform #PowerApps #VSCode #SourceControl #DevOps #PowerPlatformALM #MicrosoftPowerPlatform #Git #Repository
