Concepts
To commit code and artifacts to a source control repository in Azure Synapse Analytics, you can leverage the built-in capabilities of Azure DevOps Repos. This allows you to manage your code and collaborate with others using familiar Git workflows. In this article, we’ll explore how to set up a source control repository in Azure Synapse Analytics and commit code and artifacts to it.
Before we begin, ensure you have an Azure subscription and have provisioned an instance of Azure Synapse Analytics. Additionally, you should have the necessary permissions to create repositories and push code.
Step 1: Create a new repository
- Open the Azure Synapse Analytics workspace in the Azure portal.
- In the left-hand menu, click on “DevOps”.
- Click on “Azure DevOps project” to open the Azure DevOps portal in a new tab.
- In the Azure DevOps portal, click on “Repos” in the left-hand menu.
- Click on the “New repository” button to create a new repository.
- Provide a name and description for the repository, and select the project where you want to create it.
- Click on the “Create” button to create the repository.
Step 2: Clone the repository
- After creating the repository, click on the “Clone” button to retrieve the repository URL.
- Open a command prompt or terminal on your local development machine.
- Change the directory to the location where you want to clone the repository.
- Run the following command, replacing
git clone
- This will clone the repository to your local machine.
Step 3: Commit code and artifacts
- Make the desired changes to your code or artifacts within your local repository clone.
- Once you are ready to commit your changes, open the command prompt or terminal.
- Change the directory to your local repository clone.
- Run the following commands to stage and commit the changes:
git add .
git commit -m “Commit message”
- Replace “Commit message” with a descriptive message summarizing the changes you made.
- After committing the changes, you can push them to the remote repository using the following command:
git push origin master
The origin refers to the remote repository, and master is the branch to which you are pushing the changes. Adjust the branch name as necessary.
Step 4: Verify the changes
- Return to the Azure DevOps portal.
- In the repository view, you should now see the committed changes reflected.
- You can review the commit details, compare versions, and collaborate with your team using the various collaboration features provided by Azure DevOps Repos.
Congratulations! You have successfully committed code and artifacts to a source control repository in Azure Synapse Analytics using Azure DevOps Repos. This allows you to track changes, collaborate efficiently, and maintain a version-controlled history of your code and artifacts.
Remember to regularly commit and push your changes to keep your repository up to date and ensure a seamless collaboration experience.
