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) are used to implement various automations. By including the Power Platform GitHub actions in the workflow definitions, it is possible to automate the solution and environment-related processes in the same way as in Azure DevOps.

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.
• Administration tasks...
