Git Repository for Microsoft Power Platform Solution Files

Correct Answer: D

There is no direct integration between the source control services (like Git or Team Foundation Version Control) and Dataverse solutions.

But you can use the SolutionPackager tool for any source control service.

The tool extracts individual files and directories from the solution package.

When you are ready to check in your solution, you save, publish and export your solution.

The Power Apps portal creates a zip file.

Then you use the SolutionPackager tool to extract the components flies from the zip file.

After that, you can check in the files into your source control service.

If you need to check out the component's files, you check out the files from the source control management system into your local directory and use the SolutionPackager to create a solution zip file.

Then you can import the solution into your development environment.

Option A is incorrect because the Package deployer tool helps administrators deploy a package with one and more solutions on Dataverse instances.

But this tool doesn't extract solution files from the solution.

Option B is incorrect because the Azure Function service doesn't extract solution files from the solution.

Option C is incorrect because the Azure DevOps service doesn't extract solution files from the solution.

But Azure DevOps can automate the solution deployment and run the SolutionPackager as CI/CD task.

Option E is incorrect because the Dataverse Plug-in Registration tool doesn't extract solution files from the solution.

The correct answer for this question is C. Azure DevOps.

Azure DevOps is a comprehensive platform that provides a set of services for building, testing, and deploying applications. It offers robust source control management capabilities, including Git, for versioning and tracking changes to code and other files.

To check in the Dataverse solution files to the Git repository, you can use Azure DevOps by following these steps:

1. Create a new project in Azure DevOps and navigate to the Repos tab.

2. Create a new Git repository or use an existing one.

3. Clone the repository to your local machine using a Git client, such as Git Bash or Visual Studio Code.

4. Copy the solution files to the local Git repository folder.

5. Use the Git client to stage and commit the changes to the local repository.

6. Push the changes to the Azure DevOps Git repository using the Git client.

By using Azure DevOps as the source control for the solution files, you can easily collaborate with other developers, manage changes, and track the history of the solution files. Additionally, you can leverage the continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) capabilities of Azure DevOps to automate the build, testing, and deployment of the solution.
