# Azure Pipelines to Actions migrations powered by Valet

The instructions below will guide you through configuring a Codespace that will be used in these labs to demonstrate how Valet can be used to migrate Azure DevOps pipelines to GitHub Actions.

These steps **must** be completed prior to starting other labs.

## Create your own repository for these labs

1. Ensure that you have created a repository using the [valet-customers/labs](https://github.com/valet-customers/labs) as a template.

## Configure your Codespace

1. Start a new Codespace.

- Click the `Code` button on your repository's landing page.
- Click the `Codespaces` tab.
- Click `Create codespaces on main` to create the codespace.
- After the Codespace has initialized there will be a terminal present.

2. Verify the Valet CLI is installed and working. More information on the Valet extension for the official GitHub CLI can be found [here](https://github.com/github/gh-valet).

- Run the following command in the codespace's terminal:

  ```bash
  gh valet version
  ```

- Verify the output is similar to below.
  
  ```bash
  gh version 2.14.3 (2022-07-26)
  gh valet        github/gh-valet v0.1.12
  valet-cli       unknown
  ```

  - If `gh valet version` did not produce similar output then please follow the troubleshooting [guide](#troubleshoot-the-valet-cli).

## Bootstrap your Azure DevOps organization

1. Create an Azure DevOps personal access token:

    - Navigate to your existing organization (<https://dev.azure.com/:organization>) in your browser.
    - Click `User settings` in the top right corner of the screen.
    - Click `Personal access tokens`.
    - Select `+ New Token`
    - Name your token, select the organization where you want to use the token, and set your token to automatically expire after a set number of days.
    - Select the following scopes (you may need to `Show more scopes` to reveal all scopes):
      - Agents Pool: `Read`
      - Build: `Read & Execute`
      - Code: `Read & Write`
      - Project and Team: `Read, Write, & Manage`
      - Release: `Read`
      - Service Connections: `Read`
      - Task Groups: `Read`
      - Variable Groups: `Read`
    - Click `Create`.
    - Copy the generated API token and save in a safe location.

2. Execute the Azure DevOps setup script that will create a new Azure DevOps project in your organization to be used in the following labs. This script should only be run once.

    - Run the following command from the codespace's terminal, replacing the values accordingly:
      - `:organization`: the name of your existing Azure DevOps organization
      - `:project`: the name of the project to be created in your Azure DevOps organization
      - `:access_token`: the PAT created in step 1 above

      ```bash
      ./azure_devops/bootstrap/setup --organization :organization --project :project --access-token :access-token
      ```

3. Open the newly created Azure DevOps project in your browser (<https://dev.azure.com/:organization/:project>)

    - Once authenticated, you will see an Azure DevOps project with a few predefined pipelines.

## Labs for Azure DevOps

Perform the following labs to learn how to migrate Azure DevOps pipelines to GitHub Actions using Valet:

1. [Configure credentials for Valet](1-configure.md)
2. [Perform an audit of an Azure DevOps project](2-audit.md)
3. [Perform a dry-run of a Azure DevOps pipeline](3-dry-run.md)
4. [Use custom transformers to customize Valet's behavior](4-custom-transformers.md)
5. [Perform a production migration of a Azure DevOps pipeline](5-migrate.md)
6. [Forecast potential build runner usage](6-forecast.md)

## Troubleshoot the Valet CLI

The CLI extension for Valet can be manually installed by following these steps:

- Verify you are in the codespace terminal
- Run this command from within the codespace's terminal:

  ```bash
  gh extension install github/gh-valet
  ```

- Verify the result of the install contains:

  ```bash
  ✓ Installed extension github/gh-valet
  ```

- If you get an error similar to the image below, then click the link in the terminal output to authorize the token.
  - Restart the codespace after clicking the link.

- Verify Valet CLI extension is installed and working by running the following command from the codespace's terminal:

  ```bash
  gh valet version
  ```
