Steps to create ADO Pipeline
Here are the steps to configure an Azure DevOps (ADO) Pipeline:

1. Sign in to your Azure DevOps account and navigate to your project.

2. Go to the Pipelines section and click on "New pipeline" or "Create pipeline" (depending on the version of Azure DevOps you are using).

3. Select your source code repository where your application code is stored, such as GitHub, Azure Repos, Bitbucket, etc.

4. Choose a template for your pipeline. Templates provide a starting point for configuring a pipeline based on common scenarios like building a .NET application, deploying to Azure, etc.

5. Customize the pipeline configuration according to your requirements. This includes specifying the branch or branches you want to build from, defining triggers for automatic builds (such as when changes are pushed to specific branches), and choosing the type of build agent you want to use.

6. Configure the build steps/tasks by adding tasks to your pipeline stages. These tasks can include actions like restoring dependencies with package managers, compiling code, running tests, and creating artifacts.

7. Set up any additional settings or variables required for your build process. For example, you may need environment-specific configurations or authentication keys that need to be securely stored in Azure Key Vault.

8. Define deployment stages if needed. This involves specifying where and how you want to deploy your application once it is built successfully.

9. Configure continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) options if desired. CI enables automatic triggering of builds whenever changes are made in the source code repository while CD automates deployments once a successful build is completed.

10 Review and save your pipeline configuration settings.

11 Run a test build of your newly created pipeline by selecting "Run" or "Queue" depending on the version of Azure DevOps you are using.

12 Monitor logs during the build process and resolve any issues that arise if necessary.

13 Once everything is working as expected, your pipeline is ready for continuous integration and deployment.

These steps outline the general process of configuring an Azure DevOps Pipeline. The specific details and options may vary depending on your project requirements and the tools you are using.
