How do I set environment variables in Azure pipeline?

Azure Pipelines is a tool that helps manage your Azure cloud-based applications. It can be used to automate the deployment, running, monitoring, and management of your applications.

To use Azure Pipelines, you will need to set environment variables. This guide will show you how to do that.

Step 1

Open your Azure DevOps Dashboard then click Pipelines.

Step 2

Click Create Pipeline under Pipeline Tab. 

Step 3

Decide where your code’s source will be. I’ve decided to use GitHub for this tutorial.

Step 4

Select a repository.

Step 5

You will be prompted to approve and install Azure Pipelines, just click Approve & Install to proceed.

Step 6

The next prompt would be with Microsoft. Sign in to your Microsoft Account.

Step 7

Configure your pipeline. I’ve decided to Start with a minimal pipeline by choosing Starter Pipeline for this tutorial.

Step 8

Review your Pipeline YAML and click Variables.

Step 9

Click New variable.

Step 10

Create a new variable by assigning a Name and Value. Click OK when you are done.

Step 11

You can add more variables if you want and if you’re all done hit Save.

Step 12

Click Save again to save the changes.

Step 13

Add commit message and optional info then hit Save.

Step 14

You can now test it by clicking Run pipeline.

Note that you can use environment variables in your code and in your Pipelines scripts. However, you can’t use environment variables in your pipeline definitions.
