23Create `azure-pipelines.yml` in repository root:
24 
25```yaml
26trigger:
27  branches:
28    include:
29      - main
30      - develop
31  paths:
32    include:
33      - src/*
34 
35pool:
36  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
37 
38variables:
39  buildConfiguration: 'Release'
40  nodeVersion: '20.x'
41 
42stages:
43  - stage: Build
44    jobs:
45      - job: BuildJob
46        steps:
47          - task: NodeTool@0
48            inputs:
49              versionSpec: $(nodeVersion)
50          - script: |

57  - stage: Deploy
58    dependsOn: Build
59    condition: and(succeeded(), eq(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/heads/main'))
60    jobs:
