Sample ASP.NET Core application for GitHub Actions - Test Run

For all samples to set up GitHub workflows, see [Create your first workflow](https://github.com/Azure/actions-workflow-samples

Steps to create an End-to-End CI/CD Workflow

Pre-requisites

• Create a new Web App in Azure Portal with runtime stack as .NETCore and OS as Linux/Windows
• Copy Publish Profile Settings of the app

Create an ASP.NET App Service in Azure

This template deploys a web app with ASP.NET support. The web app with ASP.NET is an app service that allows you to deploy your ASP.NET website. This will deploy a free tier Windows App Service Plan where you will host your App Service.

If you are new to Azure App Service, see:

• Azure App Service
• Template reference
• Quickstart templates

Configure secrets in the GH repo:

• In the GH repo with Application code, Define a new secret under repository by navigating to settings > secrets > Add a new secret
• Paste the contents for the downloaded publish profile file into the secret's value field
• Now in the workflow file in your branch: .github/workflows/workflow.yml replace the secret for the input publish-profile: of the deploy Azure WebApp action

test your workflow

• Commit a change in the app code.
• You should see a new GitHub Action initiated in Actions tab.
• At the end of the execution, navigate to the App URL to visualise the change introduced.

Workflow YAML explained

• Checkout Checks out your Git repository content into Github Actions agent.
• Environment setup using Setup DotNet - Sets up a dotnet environment by optionally downloading and caching a version of dotnet by SDK version and adding to PATH .
• DotNet Build & Publish
• Deploy to App service using azure/webapps-deploy@v1 action which authenticates using Azure Web App Publish Profile which we configured using the secret set up at the repo level
