Azure DevOps is a project management and DevOps tool, and out of the many features it provides, the ability to set up a CI/CD pipeline along with version control is at the heart of it. We will be focusing on these features in this chapter. You can learn more about Azure DevOps and the whole gamut of features it provides here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/devops.

Before we get into the details, please create an Azure DevOps project and Git repository by following the instructions at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/create-new-repo and name it Learn Microsoft Fabric. At this time, your GitHub repository will be empty.
