Aspire AzDO Internal Pipeline

Expert knowledge for triggering, monitoring, and validating changes to the Aspire internal Azure DevOps pipeline (microsoft-aspire, definition 1602).

Overview

The Aspire repo (microsoft/aspire on GitHub) has an internal mirror at dnceng/internal/_git/microsoft-aspire on Azure DevOps. The internal pipeline (eng/pipelines/azure-pipelines.yml) runs builds including native CLI compilation and installer preparation (WinGet + Homebrew).

Shell note (Windows). Command examples below use bash. On Windows, run them in pwsh or Git Bash. az, git, and gh are cross-platform; only the shell glue differs. PowerShell equivalents for the constructs used here: cmd >/dev/null 2>&1 → cmd *> $null; cmd || echo "msg" → cmd; if (-not $?) { Write-Host "msg" }; git remote -v | grep internal → git remote -v | Select-String internal; "grep the job log" → pipe the log to Select-String.
