Do you want to know how to tag your git branch while building your source code when someone commits or merge to MASTER/MAIN branch? Then please read this article. I will show you which extension, I use in my Azure pipeline to Tag my git branch.

Installing “Git Tag” DevOp’s Extension to Azure Server

I will use the DevOps extension Git Tag by ATP to implement the tagging. The good part of this extension is can be used both during build and release time. So I will prefer this extension only.

Add this extension to your organization azure devOps server.

If you are using on-premise azure devOps server then learn here How to Install extensions for on-premises servers
