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:

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t

DevToys–A swiss army knife for developers

As a developer there are a lot of small tasks you need to do as part of your coding, debugging and testing activities.  DevToys is an offline windows app that tries to help you with these tasks.
