Starting a New Backend Project

This section will guide you through the initial steps to kickstart your project and get it up and running.

Requesting a Project Repository

To begin, you'll need to request the creation of a new project repository from the Code Quality and Tooling channel on teams. You will be required to provide the following details to create the repository:

  • Project: [Project Name]
  • Project Type: [Type of Project - Frontend/Backend/API]
  • Repository Name: [Desired Repository Name]
  • Description: [Brief Description of the Project]
  • Project Team Members: [List of Team Members]

Cloning the Repository from Azure DevOps

  1. Navigate to the Azure DevOps portal and sign in with your credentials.
  2. Locate the project repository that was created for your project.
  3. Click on the "Clone" button to copy the repository URL.
  4. Open a terminal or command prompt on your local machine.
  5. Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository.
  6. Run the following command, replacing [repository URL] with the copied URL:
bash
git clone [repository URL]
  1. Enter your credentials if prompted to authenticate.

Adding a Project to a Solution

After cloning the repository, follow these steps to add a project to a solution:

  1. Open your preferred IDE (e.g., Visual Studio, JetBrains Rider).
  2. Open the solution file (.sln) located in the cloned repository.
  3. Right-click on the solution name in the Solution Explorer.
  4. Select "Add" > "New Project" to create a new project within the solution.
  5. Choose the appropriate project template based on your project requirements (e.g., API Templates, KafkaHost, Class Library).
  6. Configure the project settings and click "Create" to add the project to the solution.

By following these steps, you can clone the project repository from Azure DevOps and add a new project to your solution, setting the stage for further development and collaboration.
