We will now explain how to create your own free Azure DevOps subscription and your first Azure DevOps project. You are going to use this information later to try out and understand the examples illustrated within this book:
- Go to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/devops/ and click on the Start free button:
- Log in with your work, school, or personal Microsoft account:
- If you are connecting for the first time, enter additional information such as your name, your country, and your email address, and then click on Continue.
- Now that your account is created, let's create a new project. For our example, select Git as Version control, click on Change Details, and then choose Work item process as Scrum:
- Your new project gets generated, and you are now ready to create your first work items and Git repositories, as will be shown in this chapter.
Before you do any application, it is recommended to plan for it. Azure DevOps helps you in this respect by allowing you to create and manage work items, and we will have a look at this feature in the next section.
