Likewise, type "git ct main" rather than "git commit main". We can also edit directly the .gitconfig file for the same purpose: [alias]     co = checkout     ct = commit

  Secret variables are variables that are encrypted and can be used in pipelines without having their value revealed. You can use secret variables to store confidential information like passwords, identification numbers, and other identifying information that you wouldn't want to be exposed in a pipeline. Secret variables are accessible to tasks and scripts on the agent and are encrypted at rest with a 2048-bit RSA key. Secret variables specified in a pipeline's pipeline settings UI are only applicable to that pipeline. To share confidential variables between pipelines, utilize variable groups. What are Azure Variable Groups? Key-value pairs, or variables, can be used in many pipelines and stages of an Azure DevOps project and are managed centrally by Azure Variable Groups. These variables can be used to store configuration values that may change depending on the environment (such as development, staging, or production), as well as private data like connection strings or...
