Azure DevOps Wiki - Publish a new wiki version

I think that documentation is really important. If it is not for my future self, it will be for the poor girl/guy who has to take over my code. Therefore I spend a lot of time in the Azure DevOps wiki to document my application.

Today I started to work on a version 2.x of my application. As this new version contains a lot of breaking changes, I immediatelly updated my documentation to reflect these changes. However this 2.x version is still in preview and I want my existing users to still give access to the ‘old’ documentation.

So how can I have multiple versions of my documentation available in Azure DevOps?

Publish a new wiki branch

The answer to this question is by publishing a new wiki branch. My wiki pages live in the same repository as my source code in a separate docs folder:

When I started working on my 2.x version, I created a branch for my previous release:

To publish this new branch to the wiki, open the Wiki page, open the branch picker, and then choose Publish new branch:

Choose the branch we have just created and click Publish:

Now we can choose between the 2 documentation versions:

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
