Introducing GitHub for the Power Platform
GitHub supports similar ALM scenarios for the Power Platform as Azure DevOps does. In GitHub, there is a possibility to use a collection of Power Platform-related actions with similar functionality as the Power Platform Build Tools in Azure DevOps. In GitHub, the workflows configured using the workflow definition files (.yml

The Power Platform actions support the following capabilities:
- Helper tasks: There is just a single task, whoAmI, which is able to verify the service connection to a Power Platform environment.
- Solution tasks: In this group, there are tasks for exporting and importing, packing and unpacking, cloning, checking, upgrading, and publishing solutions.
