Importing and Running the Pipeline
Explore how to import and run pipelines in Azure DevOps using both command line and web portal methods. Learn to generate a Personal Access Token, push code to a repository, import YAML pipelines, and execute pipeline runs. Understand how to monitor pipeline execution details and logs. This lesson enables you to confidently manage CI/CD pipelines in Azure.

To log into DevOps, we can use a Personal Access Token. This will allow us to run all of our commands from the terminal. To generate your PAT, please follow the steps listed here. Once you have your PAT and your organization URL, you can set them as API Keys so that they can be used for all other terminals. To log in, we run the following command:
