Connect GIT Source Control (Azure DevOps) with Power Platform Solution

🚀 Learn how to connect GIT Source Control Azure DevOps with your Power Platform Solution (Dataverse) step-by-step. In this tutorial, you'll set up native Git source control for your Power Platform environment — no third-party tools needed. This is the example of Source control in power platform solution. power platform solutions offer the functionality to connect with GitHub Repository in Native way. Whether you're a Power Platform developer, a citizen developer, or part of an enterprise DevOps team, integrating Azure DevOps with your Power Platform solutions helps you track every change, collaborate with multiple developers, and deploy with confidence. This tutorial by Dhruvin covers the end-to-end process of connecting a Power Platform (Dataverse) solution to an Azure DevOps Git repository using the platform's native source control feature. He starts by explaining why source control matters for Power Platform development — it eliminates the risk of losing work, enables multi-developer collaboration, and maintains a full change history. He then walks through all prerequisites: a Power Platform environment, an Azure DevOps organisation, a project, and a repository. The practical demo shows how to create a new Azure DevOps repository, navigate to the source control section inside a Power Platform solution, and configure the connection by selecting organisation, project, repository, root folder, and branch. Robin demonstrates the first commit process (which can take 5–15 minutes for large solutions) and explains how the solution's components are extracted and pushed to the repository as YAML and metadata files. He then shows how to make incremental changes (adding a new Dataverse column), publish customisations, and commit only the delta changes to the repository — a much faster operation. The session also covers how to pull changes made by other developers and how to disconnect a solution from source control. The video concludes with pointers to premium playlist resources for deployment pipelines and Azure DevOps pipelines on the channel. ───────────────────────────────────── 📌 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO ───────────────────────────────────── ✅ Why source control is critical for Power Platform solutions ✅ Prerequisites: Power Platform environment, Azure DevOps organisation, project & repository ✅ How to create a fresh Azure DevOps repository from scratch ✅ How to connect a specific Power Platform solution to a Git repository ✅ How to select organisation, project, repository, folder and branch ✅ How to perform your first Git commit (push to DevOps) ✅ How to commit incremental changes after modifying Dataverse tables or components ✅ How to pull changes made by other developers using "Check for Updates" ✅ How to disconnect a solution from source control when needed ───────────────────────────────────── ⏱️ CHAPTERS ───────────────────────────────────── 0:00 – Introduction & Session Agenda 1:15 – What is Source Control in Power Platform? 2:30 – Benefits of Source Control for Dataverse Solutions 3:45 – Prerequisites for Azure DevOps Integration 5:00 – Creating an Azure DevOps Repository 7:00 – Connecting Power Platform Solution to Git 10:00 – First Commit: Pushing Solution to DevOps 12:30 – Making Incremental Changes & Committing Updates 14:00 – Pulling Changes from Other Developers 15:00 – Disconnecting a Solution from Source Control ───────────────────────────────────── 🔗 RESOURCES & RELATED PLAYLISTS ───────────────────────────────────── 📺 Power Platform Deployment Pipeline Series (Premium) → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLib8Q64STW-unZ5c7t-DetiUxtRQcIHVZ 📺 Azure DevOps Pipeline for Power Platform → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLib8Q64STW-s0J6Ja2Cv8BlHbPxe8MjIp 🌐 Live Training Programs → https://www.powerplatformtrainings.com ───────────────────────────────────── 🎓 WHO IS THIS VIDEO FOR? ───────────────────────────────────── This video is ideal for Power Platform developers and architects, Microsoft 365 / Dynamics 365 professionals, ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) practitioners, and anyone wanting to implement DevOps practices for low-code solutions. ───────────────────────────────────── 🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE ───────────────────────────────────── Hit the 👍 Like button if this helped you.
